Nitric Oxide

[The Cheshire Cat]

I just wanted to gather everyones take on Nitric Oxide and everything like it. This means 'dietary supplements' such as N.O.-XPLODE, Jack3d, naNO Vapor, etc.

So, what are you guys using? What have you used? Are you convinced by any of the Nitric Oxide supplements? Do they help you improve your workout sessions?

A while ago I was doing a cycle of Jack3d (2 scoops, 8oz water) and I felt a good amount of energy from the start, but I noticed that it died off very quickly. I didn't have any jitters coming off of it, but I'm just looking for something with a bit longer of a punch to it. So, your input is needed, Zoklet!

I've tried NO Xplode. It was ok, I saw some gains; but pretty expensive for something that wasnt crazy good. It works, I'm just not convinced of the price. That was like 8 years ago I tried that stuff though, so maybe its gotten better (or maybe other brands are better)

[The Cheshire Cat]

I've had two friends try NO Xplode actually. Now that I remember they said it was pretty powerful. And they've tried a few different things. I forgot what they said the cons were about it. I plan on hitting the GNC today after I leave the office, so if I don't get any more responses I'll just turn this into a review thread.

I was actually just looking at GNC and it was NO2 that I tried. The price has come down, but you're still taking like 8 pills per workout day IIRC. For the price of NO Xplode, I would try it. I paid like $50-60 for a 25-day supply for NO2 back in the day...

I've always been pretty receptive to a good creatine mix, so I didnt feel the need to spend a lot of money on anything besides creatine and whey protein (at least most of the time)

EDIT: NO2 are horse pills...not the most fun pill to choke down when you have to do 8 of them

[coolguy420]

it looks like usp labs makes something called yok3d for NO. i never heard jack3d was for NO, but i'm not really into supplements.

Cheshire, did you pick anything up today?

How about bulk powders?

AAKG is the main nitric oxide stimulator in those products anyways: http://www.nutraplanet.com/product/n...500-grams.html

The main energy ingredient in Jack3d: 1,3 dimeth and add a cup of coffee.

Creatine: http://www.nutraplanet.com/product/n...te-1-kilo.html

All these products are a waste of money. If you want a pre workout boost stackn ephedrine and caffeine, be careful with the dosages though!

lift on ephedrine? Sounds like trouble to me...I hate that shit, tried it a couple times and thought I was going to die. I cant imagine lifting on that shit. Caffeine sucks too, constricting blood vessels probably isnt conducive to muscle gains (I'm not a doctor though)

yeah, the stack works

but check out the reviews for Jack3D on amazon

http://www.amazon.com/USP-Labs-Jack3...owViewpoints=1

the ingredients seem righteous

These products are not really needed. Look, I can almost guarantee I have it harder than you. But I still work out.

All you do is eat and lift.

It is so easy. the hard part is mental. Clear your mind.

Yarp! Picked up N.O-Xplode on sale (was 66.00, on sale for 40.00) and I've taken it every day so far. I'm going to let a couple more sessions go by before I assess it compared to not taking it. That way I can gauge it properly. For the mean time though, I like the stuff. I'll have more to write when I finish the second workout cycle of the week on this stuff.

For me No Explode made my heart racing and I had to stop working out after literally 5 minutes. Feel sick/wanted to vomit

Tried jack3d.. not bad, but again for me personally.. I had to take 3-4 scoops on my first go. If you look around on reviews few people had same issue.

Now i use APS mesomorph. heeeapps stronger than jack3d and about the same price =) Check out some of the reviews for it, its def one of the most popular.

btw I dont take the preworkouts because of the Nitric oxide.. (I take them because of the stims in them.. get home from work then workout so i am usually tired). If you just want the N.O you can buy it much cheaper than in the pre workouts

You like the stim?
I still think the bulk powder 1-3-Dimethylamylamine-DMAA-or-Geranamine-Powder is what might fit your needs, I'm guessing.

I usually take a protein supplement, soy and whey mixed into a shake, no-xplode after workouts, fish oil and 4 childrens vitamins daily. I also try to eat what I consider healthy. I find taking the no-xplode after a hard workout does much better than taking it before.
