| No Xplode!! Not Worth the Money Purchased this product and started using it over the last couple of weeks. Did a hell of a lot of research into a pre-workout drink and this came out top trumps. This thing does nothing for me except make me feel weaker because I am not eating anything before I workout. The first time I tried it I had eaten about 1hr before (the bottle says 2-3 hrs after eating on an empty stomach). So I started moving my meals further back and increasing the scoops.
Then last night was the final straw. 3 1/2 hours after my last meal and 5 scoops later I thought its got to work. Making my way to the gym and I started getting a little buzz and I thought by the time i'm there i'll be focused as anything with energy to see me through. The buzz lasted about 5 minutes and after about 20 minutes of working out I was totally shattered and couldn't left anything without struggling.
I thnk i'm just going to try a complex carb and protein tomorrow night about 1 1/2hr before my workout, that'll give me the energy!! |

| Re: No Xplode!! Not Worth the Money I have never personally used NO EXPLODE as I merely can't afford to, however many, many people on this forum rate it.
You mentioned you train on an empty stomach (or did do), that may well be the problem, although there are a few on here (Rob etc) who take their NO EXPLODE then train 30-45 mins later on an empty stomach - each to their own. Everybody is different.
It may be a case that you are just tolerable towards it. In the past have you taken an excessive amount of stimulant products over a prolonged period of time?

| Re: No Xplode!! Not Worth the Money Personally I love the product.
Although, it is a pain to get full effect you cant eat or drink before you take it.
I do like to get 50g Carbs/50g whey down my throat about 30 mins before training.

| Re: No Xplode!! Not Worth the Money I think you need to consider what you expected from using it?????
If you thought it was some wonder drug then of course it isnt going to cut the mustard, but as a wee booster for workouts then yip I think its fine.

| Re: No Xplode!! Not Worth the Money I tried a sample of it once and hated it, I actually had to leave the gym early I felt so $hit, nothing to do with eating either, as I dont eat before I train.
I know a few who like it, but more who don't.
Regardless of how it makes you feel I don't think it is worth the money at all, the stimulant feeling is just from the Caffeine which you can buy for next to nothing.
I doubt very much you would see any gains in muscle from it over a 6 month period.
Eph and Caff are far better pre WO supps IMO.

| Re: No Xplode!! Not Worth the Money Its citrulline based too, not just caffeine, citrulline is a good ingredient
The only negative id say is it keeps me awake but a few sleeping tablets or a Quick hows ya father normally sends me snoozing |

| Re: No Xplode!! Not Worth the Money I never thought I'd like it, but after trying it a couple months ago, I was really surprised at the positive effect it had on my training.
Bit costly though.
I also tried superpump 250 which wasn't too bad, but not as good as No xplode imo.
I only train with no carbs when cutting, when bulking it's same as paul, 50g carbs 50 g whey

It is very subtle and more suited to endurance training I feel.
It would still be far cheaper to buy them separately IMO.

| Re: No Xplode!! Not Worth the Money This product does diddly squat for me.....have never received a buzz or anything from it. Alot of the lads down the gym swear by it and others hate it. I guess it doesnt effect me beacause of other pre-workout stimulants I usually take, which always give me a kick up the ass. I see it as a bit like G-kick, and I dont rate that either . |

| Re: No Xplode!! Not Worth the Money I can do you better than a good deal i'll give you some free advice and save you £40, dont use nitrix & no-xplode together because they are the same product, ones in powder form the others in capsule
you would get no greater benefir from taking both |
