25mg of E, 200mg of caffeine, which equates to 1 pill each .. Pop them 3 times a day, never 4 hours before bed though.

I take them first thing in the morning around 7am along with my other supplements, then again around 1pm before my gym workout, then lastly before my kung fu class, around 630pm.

No BCAA's for me though.

Superpump250-great pumps, tastes good, tons of energy but very gassy and not just gassy but you could kill someone (do research and others feel the same) with it. LOL

Shock Therapy- Did nothing for me.

NOexplode - great pumps, good tasting, but became tolerant.

Only problem with all three is that I sometimes have trouble sleeping. Sometimes I wake up 3 or 4 times a night. On the days I dont take it, I sleep like a baby.
i had a supervisor on superpump250.... omg he would clear out the shop. didn't do shit for him, but he never worked out so i guess that goes hand in hand haha

Dont we all wish we could take something and not work out? ha

Review on NOShotgun-
Taste is good. It's not sweet like some of the other NOproducts. I take it at the same time as all of the other products I have taken and on an empty stomach. This works much better than NOexplode. Much more energy, pumps are great, and the best thing about it is that I have been able to sleep too! Only bad part that I can tell is that I am farting alot. I cant tell if it was the pizza I had the night before or not. I will find out today. If it's true, it's not as bad as SuperPump250. That stuff will kill someone.

I have two friends that take Decca, test, anavar, HGH, and cycle that stuff that makes you lose a lb a day. I can't remember the name but it's the stuff that's killed several bodybuilders that they used to ignite dynamite in the old days.

These guys sit on the couch all day, no workout whatsoever, and the only change I've seen on them is a larger beer belly (HGH??) and a ton of water bloat. Then they complain that the drugs don't work.

My only suppliment is protein and my work ethic in the gym is second to none. Yet they still chalk it up to I have better genetics than them......Sorry for the rant.

DNP, I believe. I remember them sitting in the house with the AC on 55 degrees with fans blowing on them and sweating like crazy. They did lose weight very fast but due to the danger they had to cycle it and put it right back on since they didn't work out.

By far the most effective weight loss item out there. 1lb a day for doing nothing. It gives you a fever, problem is sometimes the fever goes too high and you die.

Much more potent. It's actually explosive and the powder has to be kept damp.

At this place I worked at in the summer, so many people too GHB to look leaner, it was a beach club. So many of them collapsed and had to leave in ambulances, It was atleast 1 person every 1-2 weeks, it is some bad shit. I personally would not mess with it because I have seen its bad effects

I've taken it 2-3 times before but more or less a social thing... I had a roommate that was big time bodybuilder... he would take this stuff before going to bed (and also when he had chicks over, of course)... We lived by the beach and in the winter, it would get down to the 40's at times... he'd sleep with the sliding glass door opened with the fan on...

Then all of his connections started getting arrested... so, he was cut off.

I just picked up so NOxplode. I work out at night, after work at around 9:30 so I am usually so tired and have little focus by the time i start my workout. I'm hoping the NO gives me what I need.

Thoughts?

Well, I'm usually trying to sleep by 12:00 am.

I'm only going to take one scoop. What do you think?

Take it a few hours before you leave work. It also depends on how sensitive you are to it. I have a workout partner that can take 2 1/2 scoops at 6pm and be fine. I take 1 scoop or less around 4:30 and still have mild insomnia pretty often when I use NO-Xplode

Well, I took the NOxplode at 8:00pm. I was an animal tonight, lifting heavier than have in a long time. I'm a little wired, but not too bad, I feel like I could sleep if I wanted to right now. Also, I'm a little gassy, but not too bad. Overall, I loved what it did to me. I'm gonna experiment with timing a little more. I took it a hour after I ate dinner, so I didn't have an empty stomach, which may be why it isn't keeping me up too badly.

Also, do you guys recommend that I take additional creatine, post workout, while I'm taking NOxplode? I don't want to overload my kidney's. I put a tablespoon of regular monohydrate (no delivery systems) into a protein shake.

to my knowledge there's only 1g of creatine per scoop of NO-Xplode, so adding some creatine mono to your stack would be an excellent idea

Also, I'm glad to hear that your workout went well. That shit does pump you up, but after a while you'll get pretty used to it.

BTW I recommend AST Micronized Mono creatine

As I mentioned, I was on NOexplode for about a year, cycling on and off. The NOshotgun I have been taking for the last week is amazing! Works 10x better. For me at least. It contains 20g of protein and just enough creatine.

I still take it on an empty stomach about 45 min before I work out and my numbers are increasing every time I work out.

My suggestion, go through your NOexplode bottle and try NOshotgun v3 and report back. I was an NOexplode fan, but no longer.

What would everyone suggest taking if the workout is 90% cardio? Or is it pointless to take anything at all?

Shit I don't really know if I have one. I like to run. I was taking thermadrine during high school because it gave me a lot of energy for soccer games and I dropped about 10 pounds that I wouldn't otherwise have lost, and that was nice, but other than that I don't know if there are any goals.

5'11, i fluctuate between 175 and 180. I wouldn't mind getting back into the 160 range - or where I was my first two years of college. Problem is that I like eating better food and drinking more beer, and I like that so much I really don't want to change my diet too much.

Currently I either run 4 miles or do the elliptical for an hour, then usually lift weights for 20 minutes. I don't really care for weights.

Actually, your other post is what inspired me to start with NoXplode as opposed to shotgun.

I remembered you saying how much more potent Shotgun is and I didn't want to start too strong because I've never used pre-workout supplements like these before, usually just protein. I'll cycle the Xplode then I'll switch to Shotgun...

I don't plan on stopping anytime soon

Yea, tub says 40 servings, but i'm guessing it's more like 30. So I'll probably do a month on Xplode/creatine, then a month off, then a month on Shotgun/creatine. Then we'll see, maybe give my kidneys a rest after that and just do protein/glutamine.
