Great for while you're in the gym... January 16, 2008
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
First off, I'm a 21-year-old male. I completed my first cycle on NO-XPLODE about two weeks ago, and I have to say I did notice a great increase in my ability to focus and exert more power at the gym. I've also gained more muscle mass since using this product, along with two soy protein shakes a day. Let me just break down my overall experience for you:
Pros:
Like I said, it helped me maintain my focus, and I didn't have to wait so long in between sets. I always felt pumped and ready to go at the gym. I easily spent between an hour and a half to two hours without feeling tired. I would have to make myself leave the gym, reminding myself it wasn't good if I lifted too much in one day. Unlike some of the reviewers on other sites, I never had any sudden stomach outbursts while I was at the gym. Whew.
Cons:
There were a couple of drawbacks to using this product, as it does contain a freakish amount of caffeine, and I'm assuming it's this dosage that gives you the focus and energy I spoke of. The first two weeks of use, my body had some issues after coming down off my "high" at the gym. For instance, I didn't take it on days I didn't train, and it would be on those days I would have the worst headaches I've ever had. And when I say bad, I mean my co-workers would ask me if something was wrong. I'd also have these overwhelming feelings of depression and hopelessness at times that were simply unexplainable, as my life is pretty darn peachy.
I will say that I know I wasn't drinking the recommended amount of water along with this product, which is a LOT - 120 oz. a day. So that may be what contributed to the side effects. I started upping my water intake and did not notice anymore headaches, but this of course could be due to the fact my body was becoming a lot more tolerant at this point.
Bottom Line: I was happy with the overall results of the product. I recently purchased another cycle of it and plan on drinking the recommended amount of water to see if that helps with the headaches. If anyone has any other tips on using this product, by all means leave me a comment!
Try eating before taking it January 11, 2008
It's my third week of taking NO-Explode and I haven't felt any side affects, such as: anxiety, nausea, paranoia, mood swings, intestinal/digestive problems, or aggressiveness. I'm one to follow directions; however, I will admit, taking this product on an empty stomach can be overwhelming. The symptoms are the same as if I drank coffee on an empty stomach: nausea, upset stomach, and slightly light-headedness. My solution to this problem is if I digest NO-Explode by itself, I cut my intake by half (one scoop instead of two), or eat a light meal and then take the recommended amount (two scoops).
In the three week period I have been taking this product, I've felt an increase in strength, size, weight, and focus. For me, the best part of the product is the focus. Let me define the word according to my experiences: centering on the task at hand; it helps me tune everything and everyone that is around me out; I feel extremely motivated from one exercise to the next and tremendously eager for the next workout session. Most of the time when I leave the gym, I am left with a continuous surplus of energy. Usually, I have enough to go on a 3 mile run.
 Dangerous!!!! January 9, 2008

Do not use this product. Though it provided me with energy for my nightly workouts, after using it for 3 months my Liver Enzymes were through the roof. The danger of elevated LFTs for long term liver disease and permanent damage is great. If I hadn't gone for my routine physical I would not have discovered the elevation of the enzymes. As soon as I stopped the supplement, the enzymes reverted back to normal withnin a few weeks however. Lucky for that! This product should not be on the market. Period! Research it on the internet. You will find similar stories to my own.
This is an interesting product. December 22, 2007

Caveat: This is NOT a steroid, or a protein shake, or anything like that. The description is somewhat misleading; this product does NOT directly increase your muscle mass. What it does do: Give you energy, so you feel like working out/continuing to work out; Keeps your muscles from getting fatigued as fast, so you're able to do a more rigorous workout; and supplement your system with certain vitamins and minerals conducive to proper blood flow and muscle development (when taken in conjunction with a good workout).
That said, the instructions say not to eat beforehand. I consider that a bad idea. I know it helps absorption, but it also makes your stomach act up after a few hours. You really should not go without a balanced diet when using this. The other thing to keep in mind is that you should drink this roughly an hour before you start working out, to give your system a chance to absorb the stuff. Finally, after your workout is complete, make sure you rehydrate yourself.
 Good but with some reservations December 12, 2007

If you get tired during the work-out and are looking for a supplement that keeps you focused and provides enough energy to get you through then it is a great stuff. And Fruit Punch tastes pretty good too. But then its goodness is limited to just that. I didn't feel any difference in my strength etc. It doesn't give you any burst of power but a steady dose of energy so its effect is more apparent towards the end of your workout session. When I realized this, I started using it judiciously and not everyday (including non-training days!) as the recommendation on it reads. I take it on days I'm training large muscle groups like legs and back to help me finish a relatively longer workout with many compound exercises.
Hope it helps.
