    NO EXPLODE is the truth...

    I do 2 training sessions a day and will generally go for a morning workout only having had a banana or glass of juice so the NO EXPLODE kicks in real good.

    It gets me pretty wired...Sometimes it has me wanting to irish jig my way across the gym floor.

    Do you ever find that you become reliant on the stimulant effect to get you through a workout ? I know people who can't function near the same level without caffeine etc to arse themselves during a workout.

    thats me :oops:

    i have taken jack3d, NO-Xplode and now Gaspari SUperpump 250 before workouts for the last year... the year prior to that my gains were only half as good... with these pre workout summplements i was able to go from a 50kg bench for 6 reps to 100kg....

    i tried working out without them the other day and fell flat, i felt like i had no energy and lacked motivation. I stopped mid workout to go play some PS3 which i would never normally do

    im ****ed without them, they work and im addicted :D

    Has anyone here ever used bicarb-soda before a workout?
    I have before and noticed a big difference in my output during training, I think it acts as a sort of buffer in your blood stream for lactic acid so it also helps you recover far quicker after workouts, not being as sore for as long etc. It was actually recommended to me by my dad (old horse trainer) years ago, as he used to give his thoroughbreds a big dose of bicarb before a race and apparently their stamina would improve out of sight, its now banned for racehorses.

    Ray Kelly, have you used bicarb with any of your athletes and if so have you had positive results?

    No Explode is really good, But NanoVapour is the new ducks nuts in Creatine preworkout drinks.
    Ive started doing powerlifting again and found NanoVapour to be better and work much quicker than NoExplode.

    Yeah mate i definetly feel the difference when not on the XPLODE.LOL..

    But i find cranking my electro-house beats get me going just as hard..

    Im fairly strong willed when it comes to training and at the moment im loving the change(doing kickboxing mma etc)..

    My uni lecturer was talking about exactly this the other day, he said some people don't get much of an effect from it while others do, he said some people vomit and get diarrhea as a side effect. Just out of curiosity, how did you take it and how much?

    I think its important to build your work capacity without any such stimulants especially in the lead up to fighting etc otherwise you will come to rely on them as a crutch. Also confidence in conditioning is a great thing.

    I had two teaspoons in water about an hour before training mate, it was good because I used to go for a decent run (maybe 5km) then train for a solid hour and It gave me about another 30 mins of decent output.

    The extra output definately gave me better fitness for the few weeks I was taking it but I ended up deciding that I wouldnt use it for day in/day out training because it made me sweat twice as much as normal and I felt dehydrated the next morning.

    Would definately recommend it for someone who is right at the peak of their training and is looking to get a little bit more from their workout for a week or so
