    Alternatives to NO-Xplod?

    I've been drinking NO-Xplod for so long now, I'd like to switch it up. Are there any other Nitric Oxide preworkout drinks that are as good or better?

    im a big fan of black powder. past few months ive fixed up my diet and been takin black powder and im makin big improvements. id say early january i was doin flat bench 225 for 2-3 at most and now im pushin it for 8 times. its mostly due to diet but i can deff feel the black powder while im working out il be able to get a few more reps of higher weights in later sets. give it a shot.
    ps. blue raspberry tastes like cotton candy haha

    I took caffeine for a while, I didn't like it anymore after a few months. it is cheap and effective though. I'm currently using superpump 250 and although I'm not a big fan of pre-work out supps (it's kinda a waste of $$), I like superpump. I did put a few too many scoops this morning though and I felt like I was gunna pass out for about an hour.It sucked. I don't recommend taking more than 2 scoops of that stuff at a time until your body adjusts to it. But I do get a pretty ridiculous pump in the gym. it's good stuff.

    here's my rating on the products i've tryed

    1. No xplode is the best hands down.
    2. Myogenix hyper shock worked really well just tasted like crap.
    3. Nitrobolic extreme and superpump 250 was ok
    4. no shotgun was very good for a few days! then tapers to nothing
    5. nano vapor made me sick to my stomach. tryed 3days in a row lost 3days of training

    i have used superpump 250 and plasma jet thought they were pretty decent. i mixed superpump 250 and amild dose of caffein and had massive energy to burn n didnt really feel nauseated or anything, but i generally just stick to caffein majority of the time

    I've never taken any pre-WO supp, because they all contain cafeine. But on friday a dude a the gym gave me a pack of Mass Xxplosion. Its doesnt contain any caffeine or teine or similar. It worked good for me. Helped my streght, keep my intensity and BIG pumps. You just drink it during your workou with some water. I won't buy it cos i'm not high on supps but i think its good.

    Me too, but then i switched to Gaspari's Superpump 250.
    I found that after a week of N.O.explode.. I was calling it No explode. It just seemed to stop working for me.

    N.O. Explode is way outdated imo...


    Trac Extreme N.O.

    NO Shotgun

    Hemodraulix


    Are all far superior alternatives imo

    I myself use Shotgun and it give me a good kick of energy. I only use it when I feel my energy levels is low but it definitely works well for me.

    jacked, wtf pump, JP-8 are all decent but it depends on how you react to them. I like Jacked. It is a different feel... i like it while on cycle and off.

    NO shotgun works really well for me! some ppl say it tapers out after a few days but i dont think so! i've tryed NO xplode too and i think they are more or less the same but i'd prefer NO shotgun... tastes really really bad though

    N.O. Shotgun was kick ass at first, had me bouncing off the walls...However, it does taper to nothing. I was up to three whole scoops after a month and didn't get any burst of energy.

    Don't care for NO-Xplode. Got very tired of the taste. Black Powder is far better IMO. But now I don't take either. I found myself forcing it down before a workout. Now I take Gakic by MuscleTech. AWESOME stuff!!!

    I like black powder. I got my buddy to switch from no xplode to black powder because of some forums I read, and he likes the fact that the black powder doesn't give him the shits right after taking it.

    VPX NO ShootGun is the shizzo.
    Great Focus Energy Pump.
    And one of the best things I like that make it stand out from any other Nitric Oxide preworkout drink is that it protein Branched Amino Acids that not many other Nitric Oxide drinks have. Hell I havent still found any that have protein and all the supplements that NO ShootGun has.
    Try it for your self.

    if you use no-xplode consistently i recommend cycling it like use it for a month then off for a week... this will build your receptors back up and give you the pump like it was your first time =D
