And yes, that's really me ten years ago.  I was a licensed pyrotechnician setting up a 4th of July show at Ala Moana park in Hawaii.  But that's another story.

Gee, just when you think you know a guy!!    Ka-boom!!

No, but i do think there is a zoo around cause i see some pythons!

N.O. Explode has worked incredibly for me.  I usually take it with a Clif Bar about 30 minutes prior to my workout.

Finally!!!  I knew you were a smart kid   LOL

You do need "carbs"

carbonation.

A Sam Adams in each hand.

12oz curls, baby

dont waste your money on NO-Explode,  you can drink a crap load of coffee before workout and get the same effect.  Your best bet is to eat 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight a day lift and rest.  Hard work and time are the only ways to do it right.

First you don't really wanna drink or take caffeine before your workout. It messes with your body and testosterone. I think it was absorbtion. Caffeine takes too long to get out of the body for it to be out if you take it before a workout. Obviously not good if you wanna gain muscle or lose fat.

Second all stuff like NO Explode will do is make you more vascular and maybe add some blood to your muscles. Really has the exact efect of just in you body. There are more studies than not that will say NO products are a scam. Here's a link to one of the articles.

I think the original poster said that he did'nt want to take NO-xplod as it's given him headaches in the past.

If it were me, I would'nt drink a lot of caffeine as an alternative. If it's just the energy boost that you would miss, you could get a bottle of B vitamin mix and take one or two or 15 of those before you workout.

NO-xplod has worked great for my brother but what is the deal with the label saying you have to be 18 to take and and what is somthing say a 15-16 year old could take and have the same results

I've taken that stuff. Amps you up big time.

When I ran out of it I would crush one of these before working out.

The reason they suggest you being 18 that your body is still changing including all chemical levels. At about 18 your body levels should level out. Taking something with NO in it is changing your chemical levels in the body.

Same reason why steroids are more dangerous during the teenage years. Alot of hormone levels are already at their maximum and generally the dosage taken is well over 10 times your peak level. I'm not saying steroids are good or bad but thats just one of the facts about them.
