-why must u decrease glutamine consumption while on No-Xplode?

-No-Xplode should be taken for best results on an empty stomach preferably in the morning when just awakening prior to the workout? so in a sense while using this product you cannot really have an effective pre-wo meal!!!

gococksDJS

The idea of pre workout meals have been debated several times on here. IMO you should not eat solid foods before you go lift because your stomach needs more blood to aid in digestion, which means there will be less blood flowing to the muscles you are exercising. Save the carbs and protein for after your workout.

Curlingcadys

the crap is worthless IMO but I've heard it has worked for some I actually got all those effects NO Xplode claims and then some with swole v2 and paid less.

Just finished my NO-Explode, and I would have to say it sucked for me. Looking into CEX or Cell-Mass.

no-explode sucked for me too. i like v12, but i'm sticking to creatine mono from now on.

I Have Been Stacking Mri No2 With My Creatine For 45 Days Now And I Am Impressed. I Can Do A 2 Hour Intense Workout, 30-45 Seconds Rest Between Sets, And I Never Get Tired. I Also Seem To Recover Much Faster Than Before. I See Alot Of Negative Feedback About No2, But I Got Nothin But Good Things To Say, Except The $$$ !!!

Cold Iron

2hr intense W/O? doubt it....

I bet we have two completely different definitions of what "intense" is. Even so, unless youre on some serious gear, youre most likely overtraining

Curlingcadys

what do you mean I try to get 3hr intense w/o twice a day! I'm just glad I have remarkable recovery time!

NO2 sucks, got nothing from it. You spend more time planning when to take it, then you would spend on your meal timing. It

Just heard BSN NO-Explode tastes nasty .

ACEOUTDOOR

I LIFT FOR 2 HOURS, SUNDAY TUESDAY THURSDAY. ONE W/O I DO UPPER BODY, THE NEXT W/O I DO LOWER. SO I THOUGHT I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO RECOVER. IS THIS REALLY OVERTRAINING? WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Archangel

Whoa, partner. No reason to yell!!! That is plenty of time to recover IF you are not doing marathon training sessions. Most people take around 45 minutes or less. Why may I ask, does it take you 2hours to finish. In all honesty, you must not be going too intense.

not too bad, a little tart I had the fruit puch flavor I believe, I've certainly tasted worse.

Anyone tried Cell-Mass? What is another good Creatine-Esther (sp)?

45 minutes.. seems like a warmup to me, but maybe you are right and i'm wrong. here is what i do on a upper body day.

4 sets at around 6-8 reps for each of the following. 30-40 seconds rest between sets. 90-120 minutes total time.

1. barbell curl 2. lat pull down 3. bench flat 4. preacher curl 5. pullover 6. t-bar row 7. seat row 8. conc. curl 9. lat raise 10. hammer curl

i alternate upper and lower body days so i have at least 3 days of rest before i work upper again. is 30 seconds between sets the norm? is my routine really considered over training, becuase i feel great? by the way ARCHANGEL what part of ILL are you from, i'm close to STL. thanks for any input fellas.

Archangel

HLY COW!!! 40 sets. Wow, if you can handle that then okay, but it WILL catch up to you. How old are you? If your young you can get away with that better than an old fart like myself. I personally would cut down on the volume. I'm about 20 minutes outside of St. Louis (GO RAMS!!!)

i am 27. seriously should i cut back? i feel good but i don't wanna toast myself. i do as much weight as i can handle, but i maintain proper form and don't cheat. how does your body tell you you are overtraining? what symptoms?

GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gun-Ryo

you are working all your upper body in one session, or maybe your dont think you are, but i see chest, back and biceps... of course you can go for 2 hours you arent pushing all your muscles to exhaustion, you are just working every muscle a little bit.

id concentrate on one at a time, or yes, you will take 58934085904328590432590893405834 hours to finish a workout

Egoatdoor

I disagree. The body needs some carbs pre workout.

busyLivin

working out over an hour per session is too much IMO.

If you're really pushing yourself, there is no way you could last two hours. With that number of sets, you are either juicing or doing less weight than you should.

It's not the quantity of time you spend, but the quality.

Thanks Busy, my words exactly!!!

Tired, irritable, sore all the time. I used to get real bad headaches when I overtrained. I personally would cut back, maybe try hitting a BP once a week. Thats what I do. I am on the P/RR/S system. I really like it and it hits everything pretty hard!!!

Yes, I have mine 2 hours pre-workout with some protein. Not much energy is required for digestion at this point, and the carbs are available for immediate use.

what is the p/rr/s system? our LAMBS... i mean RAMS looked like a bunch of rodeo clowns last night, not a pro team. oh well, maybe next year.

I'm curious if anyone has an answer to Kwan's question? -- "why must u decrease glutamine consumption while on No-Xplode?"

I'm not looking for opinions on NO-Xplode, but I'm wondering if there are certain ingredients that shouldn't be taken with Glutamine.

Thanks.

Actually, Im super picky about supplements, and I really like what NO-Explode does for me. I did a free test on it over a year ago and it really worked well for me.

I'm using the NO-Xplode/Cell-Mass stack n I can say it works great for me. I only take 1 scoop of each one per day, one NO-Xplode pre and one scoop Cell-Mass post w/o.

maze

1 scoop works for me too, 2 scoops and my heart goes like crazy.

I also add to No-Xplode a mix of 2g of tribulus, maca and horny goat weed...
This combination works great for me.

i gave no-xplode a try yesterday, and i've never felt that way in the gym ever. I was incredibly focused, and i barely felt ANY muscle fatigue, i was so psyched to lift...it was like after i finished taking it i said to myself "where are the fuckin weights?". it was awesome. i'm definately gunna give the shit a try and buy a tub.

and im not one to take alot of supplements. i use whey, thats about it.

Heres how I train.

v12 turbo kicked ass. I really had great success with-had none with creatine mono. Not sure about no-explode. I will say this-the reason as i understand it is that you shouldnt take other protein drinks with arginine because it weakens the effect on account of competition from other amino acids. I take my v12 in the AM a half hour before I down a protein shake and apple for my morning workout and i see veins pop where i didnt realize i had freaking veins!
