I have personally tried NO2 and did not get the results I expected. Being over 200 lbs and taking 10 tabs/day, one bottle only lasts 18 days. In my opinion, not worth the money.

i have tryed MRI no2 and i can say that it worked somewhat not even close to the claims that the company made. i was wondering if
anyone ever tried a product from thermolife called "XPLODE" http://www.discountanabolics.com/pa...THERMOLIFE/TL05
a friend of mine had been using it for a while and i am trying to find out some more about it before i give it a try its supposed to have the same effects as no2 only better

thanks

juangalan have you tried the stuff? what is you basis for saying that its "total crap"? im not defending the product in any way. i would just like an explnation for your opinion. you cannot just say something is "total crap" without frist trying it or having some tangable reason. if you make a comment like that with nothing to back it up it doesnt really mean much. thanks for the reply.

hallo,

I have bought some Nitrous from Syntrax and it works very good for me but you have to take it on a empty stomach 2 times a day.
It gives me a very full muscle feeling and excellent pumps and strength gains.

Trojanman, are you that fucking stupid? It's crap-the stack you're using is crap. I have no idea who'd be interested in your dick, so keep it in your pants and shut the fuck up and say something worthwhile, instead of acting like a pockfaced, pencil-neck dumbass.



Eat well, train daily, die anyway.

I"ve tried No2 Nox2 and Nox3

No2 gave me great pumps and I swear it lowed my bf.
Nox2 did crap (I hate pinnacle)
Nox3 is like No2 but 10x better pumps and only cost 25$

My girlfreind really likes nox3

Worthless...waste of money. If it works for you, just buy L-Arginine and add it to your post workout recovery drink, this is much cheaper.

i usually mix l arginine- and l glutamine- in the morning with one serving satur8. then later, like before my workout i take 1 more serving of satur8, and right after i take creatine and 3 nox 3 pills. my pumps are so hard it hurts to work out - but i love it so much the pain is almost fun. i take the creatine during bulking, otherwise just the no products. maybe its too much i dont know - i only use this for 1 month at a time.

I get great pumps and quicker recovery between sets if I take it on an empty stomach atleast 30 min prior to a meal twice a day--which is exactly what the directions say to do on the kind I use (Universal Nutrition NOX3). But, at $1 day it is expensive and unnecessary. No, it does not compare to creatine. And it doesn't work well with caffeine or Ephedra (also mentioned in the directions). I think it has served me better than other products in that price range--HMB! I can speak for myself and this specific brand--it works well when used as directed.

You know, i missed that... but on nox3 I get a pump from just drinking a small cup of coffee at work. I swear to god. I must be a lucky person or something.

Sounds like you guys would recommend taking L-Arginine. Have heard some negative things about it on this board.

It is in the warning, and I have found it to be true. The empty stomach is the key, though. Funny that the cheapest stuff works. Of course, NOX3 is not justarginine like the others.

I would recommend NOX3 from Universal Nutrition. Everything else cost too much. Just make sure to follow the directions precisely.

I was thinking of just buying some L-Arginine in bulk and adding it to my protein shakes, like others have suggested. Seems like the cheapest way to go.

How does taking any of these products impact your workouts. Are you able to work out more? Less? Same? I get the pump idea, but I was curious about the workout feel.

It should help with general circulation, which will contribute to overall health. shoot for 6-9g a day, and you'll be in the money. Dont buy the hype

L-arg is limited in its effectiveness....AAKG is the way and that is what is in all the nitrix oxide products...alpha arginine keto gluterate.


Those AAKG products work for me on a moderate basis...I don't strength train, but my lifts (chest/back/legs) increase by 10-20lbs when using it...I just like the pumps I get w/ it....for a supplement it gives solid pumps.

No2

If your talking about that 80$ a bottle stuff from GNC I havn't tried that but I have tried the 20$ a bottle stuff from wal-mart with some results. It seems I have had some increased vascularity in forarms and lower area my wife says. I think the only way your realy going to notice the difference in vascularity is if you have a low body fat percentage other wise the results are only going to be noticable in areas were there is less fat. Most people replying to this forum have used this stuff or generic versions for a wopping 1 month which I think needs to be noted. Unless your taking dianobal your not going to get gigantic results that quickly from most if not all non-anabolic body-building supplements. Talking to the people at the local GNC here say they have tried other generic off brand stuff (not MRI) and say that they have had mediocer resutls in comparison to the great results they got from the MRI stuff which they seemed to be very impressed with granted they were emplyees at the store. So in conclusion from my limited understanding and experience it seems that from the cheaper stuff it will take longer to get the same results as you would get from the more expensive MRI stuff. Also the just supplementing the L-arginine earlier post presented sounded good I thought considering it's pretty much what the nos is and much cheaper.

From my understanding it highly depends on the brand you take. I KNOW this much. Pinnacle NOX2 sucks a hairy elephant turd! That's bad, and quite a bit a sucking folks...

Not that I care but does that mean you have a skinny peter?

Yeah, the guys at the GNC said that original MRI brand that first came out with the stuff had this patended formula that everyone else afterwards tryed to copy but aparently from these guys prospective with little success, of course again they were employees of GNC.

The original usually is the best. At least for awhile... Check this stuff o
