Serving of NO XPLODE
So, I got a free sample of NO XPLODE from TaylorsNutrition. It says consume 1 scoop to assess your tolerance. Now, I have two questions. How much is a scoop, since I don't have one obviously, and how to I assess my tolerance?

Damn... On one site it said 20.5 g per scoop... Now, if that is right, what's this "assessing your tolerance" thing?

The dosing directions are the same on the full jug as they are on the sample packet. Obviously when you buy a full jug of the product you have the option of using as many scoops as you like. You have the option of 2, or 1. So if I were you I'd take 1/2 the packet wait 20 minutes, if you feel you need more of a boost, take the rest. The tollerance they are speaking of is to the stimulant in the NO Exlpode. |

Ok, says to take 1 scoop first so that's what I'm doing, it says to take on an empty stomach and not to eat/drink until about 40-60 minutes afterwards... Hopefully this gives me an exceptional boost because usually I consume about 60-80 carbs 20-30 minutes before I work out for an energy boost. So we'll see if this stuff works better than actual food ... :P

When I'm assessing my tolerance, what exactly am I looking for after 30-40 minutes....

I actually was allowed to beta-test it before it was released.
Im not a big fan of ephedra free energy supplements.. or NO2/arginine products in general. I feel that they are 90 percent hype/10 percent performance for the most part. While NO-Explode did offer a bit of an increase in mental focus... for the price they are asking, I would never buy it again. Caffiene/ephedrine/yohimbe OR Redline by vpx are by far the most potent legal pre-workout stimulants I have personally tried.

If I were going to take an NO2 type supplement, I would start again with Rob's line of products.
At least I know he will only use the best ingredients, and its at a very reasonable price, especially for elite members.

Ah... REDLINE... You know, red bull gives you wings... but REDLINE puts a rocket up your ass!!!.... Liquid Crack....
Though, nothing beats ECA - by far the best, Redline gives me gas. Oh, check this out. I took the liquid 120 cc bottle thing of redline once, and left in my truck. It was close to empty. I was/am working three jobs, and was out pressure cleaning. Broke it out to give me a boost. Took half a dose, about 2-3 cc. I thought I was going to freekin DIE. It had crystalized at the bottom I guess. WOW, I think I through a truck or two down the street as I was CRACKING OUT from it.
To me, it is not how long you're in the gym... it is what you do why you are there... Intesity and Consistency are Paramount. Oh yeah, and eat plenty of fried chicken, whole milk and bacon. Ask any old farmer that usually lives to about 90+.

Easy skinnyass... They went off topic about how NO xplode has stims in it. Why don't you read up a little, and you will see why I made my comment about redline. Get off your high horse boy.

well as for the original topic of no explode, i agree that not ephedrine or epiphedrine are more hype than anything else. no explode i found to be smack dab in the middle as effective wise. i found trac extreme NO by mhp to be the most effective. but boy it taste like puke. always take on an empty stomach about 20 min before work out. and definatly never eat or drink anything with calcium including protien. calcium cancels the L-arginine. hope this helps ?
