CEX Questions

I'm about to start using CEX and I was wondering if is true (By what I read in the NO2 Book) that when you combine a NO2 Booster with the Creatine Ethyl Ester it increases the effect of the Nitric Oxide booster.

Also if I'm using creatine monohydrate and then switch to CEE, isn't there any problem???

I've heard a lot of things about CEX and CEE (Creatine Ethyl Ester), so I bought a small bottle of CEX to try.
My last question, how much should I use per day???

IMO, NO2 is overpriced and overhyped. You do get a slight pump but nothing worth $80 for 21 days. You should try something like Swole, it gave me the same vascularity feeling as NO2, and solid gains as far as creatine goes, but at a fraction of the price.

if u truley desire to take a "no2 type" supplement just add some bulk aakg to the cex. if u really want to go gung ho with it, throw in some citrulline malate and/or some diarginine maltate.

i like bulk nutrition personally:

NO2 supps stack well with it, but are not 100% necessary. Use about 6 g of CEX per day.

Cex

I'll try with the bulk arginine.

I forgot another thing, I'm planning to take one serving of CEX before workout, when should I take the other one??? Early in the morning or after workout???

Thanks GoPro and Vise

Its just the strawberry taste with the taste of the creatine itself doesn't mix well. I never look forward to waking up because I have to shug down the damn cex in the morning , lol.

You guys need to stop complaining, cause if you think the flavored CEX is bad you should taste it without flavoring! I ran my first bottle unflavored and the taste was so bad I wanted to puke at the thought of it. I imagine that battery acid must have tasted better. But, in the name of muscle, I still drank it down!

Well , cex doesn't taste well like I already mentionned. But I have now been running it for a whole week and well , I've had some very nice results. Yesterday was the first day that I really saw a big improvement in my weights.

Last week on the shoulder press I did the following:

70x8 // 70x7 // 70x5

This week (yesterday) : 75x9 // 80x7 // 85x4

Both time were to failure. My diet has been the same , hasn't changed.

f*** all the other creatine supps. out there, CEE IS 'DA SHIT'! i'm on it right now and i'm actually adding weight again (i'm at my strongest ever, finally managing to up all weights for the first time in over a year!!)

this stuff is the future, i think all other creatines will die out once everyone realises how awesome CEE is, unless of course they ban it

just my .02

peace

damm right!!! i get the full £4000 pa + £1000 grant, so just got like £1'700 through! thank God i was at my overdraft limit on my student account (1'250) it ain't good man! mind you in about a week my student accomodation payment goes out, so i'll be skint again

man i got 1kg of CEE for about £45, thats pretty cheap if u ask me, considering you only need to use half the dose of mono, and the effects are that much better! ain't too hard to guess where i got it from - the only UK site which offers all the latest products at remotely competitive prices, you know who i'm on about.. if not for these guys we'd all be screwed over here!

Aakg + Cex

What u think of this???

Mixing AAKG powder with CEX, 3g AAKG + 3g CEX on an empty stomach and 30 min before work out.

Cuz since I see that the TRAC is basically L-Arginine + Creatine Monohydrate, I thought I could do the same thing with the CEX and the AAkG powder.

I have the VPX CEX and I'm about to start it tomorrow (Mon. 03-07-05), I also have the Bulknutrition AAKG powder. I plan to start both things together, but I also have the VPX's Plasma Xpandor, cuz I work in a supplements store, so I got one for free, so I don't know if I can use them at the same time (The CEX and the Xpandor) or should I stick to the CEX???

I have some citruline malate, so I'mma try'em all like this:

(Morning)
3g AAKG powder on an empty stomach,
15 min laters, 3g CEX + 3g Citruline Malate.

(Pre-W/O)
3g AAKG powder, 15 min later 3g CEX + 3g Citruline Malate 15 minutes before w/o.

Is that fine???

Thanks for ya help,
I'mma let u know what's up with the CEX for those who hasn't tried it!!!

CEE will be banned? I just assumed CEE was the same thing as mono. Am I wrong with this assumption? Damn, I wish I had looked into it more before I bought it...

Today (Mon March 7th) I tried CEX for the first time ever and it doesn't taste as bad as most of you guys said.
Isn't a delicious flavor, but a lot of other products taste worse. Just make sure you mix it with a lot of water.
I'll keep you updated on the results

Another thing that I tried was the AAKG powder, that one tastes like battery acid!!! It was hard for me to drink the whole glass of water. I mixed it with around 14 Oz of water and still was acid and sour as hell!!!

But let's see if the results worth it.

Its best combined with Citrulline Malate. Whih is a NO precursor and also gives endurance and relieve fatigue. For once what VPX says on the label is true (in that respect).

U can follow the label for dosing. I took a little more (one full teaspoon) every day, with no double dose post workout.

It starts kicking in very soon, after 2-3 days.

Lots of water or orange juice. I prefer that and water to fill the rest of the thirsty.

I used a little bit more too . I used a teaspoon!!!

I took it with Stamin02 (Citruline Malate), but I'm not sure if I did correctly:
I took the CEX and inmediately after that the Citruline Malate. Is that fine???
Also the bottle of the CM says take it right before w/o. So I took everything like 15 min before my w/o.

The stuff I get (VNS Jacked and Xpand) have NO2 with them and they're not expensive at all. At the Arnold classic I got 400 grams of VNS for $25, and 1.71 lbs of Xpand for $25 as well. Online they're around $40 or so and that lasts about a month.
