BSN N.O.-XPLODE 2.0 - Fruit Punch, 2.48 lb (50 Servings)

I normally do buy this product from another online source, but found it priced better this week through Amazon. It is a great product and the price was the best I found on the net. Prices do vary so it does pay to research. I have been trying different pre workout supplements and as of today this is the best I have found as far as taste and no jitters or upset stomach. It is high caffeine so if you are not a coffee drinker or other high caffeine consumer I would maybe start a little light and see how your system reacts to it. For me it feel a energy boost about 20 minutes to a half hour after drinking it. My work outs are normally only 45-55 minutes and it doesn't drop off or make me crash. I really like it and feel it is worth the money.

My experience with BSN products has always been positive. This is true whether you are using one or stacking with others and there is no better place to buy this stuff than Amazon (especially if you are a Prime Member). As some reviewers say, "I don't write product reviews" and I am no different. However there are not many reviews so I feel compelled to share my experiences.I run on average of 40 miles per week, not including about 6 hours of strength training. Thus I consider myself an intense trainer. That said, this stuff will seriously ignite your body like no other thermogenic or vascodialater. This gives you the energy and push to start your workout and carry you through for quite sometime. I do notice that it starts to wear off about two hours into a run or workout, but most people do not exercise that long. Some say that when it wears off you get a "crash." I do not notice this at all yet there is a difference between 30 minutes after you take the product and 150 minutes. If there wasn't a difference in these times, why would you purchase the product? There would be no need.You can tell that there is caffeine in the product, so I wouldn't use if you are very sensitive to caffeine. There is a no caffeine version of this same product however, I have not tried that version so I am unsure if it is just as effective. Other than the vascodialater there is different types of creatine which is one of the only products proven over and over again to increase strength. So there are many reasons to buy this stuff.As always, you should remember to cycle on and off, if you do not then your body will become dependent upon it. Thus if you continue to take it, you'd just be wasting your money.I have read other reviews as of writing this and despite some of the negative things people had to say, I do not agree. I have nothing negative to say about this product. If you want to work out longer, lose weight, increase strength, or all of the above, THIS product may be right for you!

I've tried different Pre-Workout supps over the years. Either they have no effect, or the effects are extremely shortlived to the point of being incompatible with your system after one cycle. This supplement has served me well for years. I don't take pre-workout supps for the full benefit of getting insane pumps or drastic increase in strength or the likes. I run two miles to my gym as a pre-workout cardio, so I just need something to "substitute" all that lost energy so I don't put myself into a disadvantage doing weight lifting. You use calories to lift weights. You burn calories when you do cardio. So I have less calories to use and I rely on pure strength instead of a calorie-loaded breakfast or meal that does the lifting for me. One scoop of this stuff and it gives me the drive I need. Pretty sad the other pre-workouts can't even do that! Even if it's for a short period.The only other supp that works on par with this is Universal's Animal Cuts. I don't need to burn fat but when I'm cycling off a creatine/N.O. supplement, this is my other 'go to' supplement. It gets me through my pre-workout cardio, my workout, and my post-workout cardio.

I initially tried this product hoping for a little extra energy during workouts. It works.I use just less than two scoops, with probably about 10 ounces of water (I don't measure it out). It is very tart, although you can adjust the taste adding more or less water. It tastes fine, but not something you'll want to add to your nightly cocktail because it's so delicious.About 20 minutes after gulping it down, I start to get a weird pins and needles feeling all over. I think it is the blood rushing to my skin. I once took it and then was unable to get to the gym, and it was super uncomfortable. I do not recommend doing that.Once you start working out though, that pins and needles feeling goes away. I sweat more easily when taking it (which I consider a positive), and have more energy, especially for those last few reps of each set. It particularly helps the length of the workout. I go pretty hard for about 45 minutes to an hour, and this absolutely helps me finish the workouts strong.As Arnold says (albeit in different words), the pump is the best part of the workout. And this stuff will give you a great pump. It feels like your muscles are trying to push through your skin (again, sounds weird, but is what I am looking for).After a couple weeks on, I definitely notice an increase in vascularity and have made great gains in strength. I recommend it, but be careful! I wouldn't go past the dosages or use it too often because I'm not sure about the long term viability.
