NO X Plode: Does This Supplement Help Build Muscle and Burn Fat?

One of the most popular pre-workout supplements known to the bodybuilding industry still to this day is NO Xplode. NO Xplode was one of the first pre-workout energy drinks that included everything needed to get a good pump in while weight lifting. If taken properly, it will allow you to train harder and with more intensity.
What makes this product so effective is it has a great blend of just the right ingredients to help you get a better workout. Instead of sticking with a high dosage of just creatine with some caffeine, NO Xplode gives you an L-arginine (Alpha Keto Glutarate) to allow your body to get better pumps in the gym. Now, I do not know too many bodybuilders that are not seeking a good pump in the gym.
Pros
- Easy to carry with you in or store a serving size in a shaker bottle while you are on the go.
- Contains L-Arginine for enhanced vascularity and pumps in the gym. This will allow you to have better workouts.
- Contains a blend of creatines including di-malate and ethyl ester to help increase muscle size and strength. For more on creatine and how it helps bodybuilders.
- Contains Caffeine to enhance alertness and energy while weightlifting.
- Contains L-Tyrosine and Vinpocentine for better alertness and mental acuity.
- Has 25 calories and 6 grams of carbohydrates per serving
Cons
- You may experience a bit of a crash after your workout and a lack of energy. This depends on the person.
- You cannot take this product all the time while weight lifting. You need to cycle off of it every 6-12 weeks.
- Can only be taken before a workout and not after.
Guides Review:
NO-Xplode was the first pre-workout product I tried and boy did I like it. I immediately noticed a pump due to the effects of the arginine and increased size as a result of the creatine blend. After using a bottle I was happy with the results I got from the product but the one thing I did not like from the product was the crash effect after my workout. I tended to feel a bit lethargic and lacked energy. One thing I suggest people who take this product consider is to not increase the recommended dosage as you can feel a bit jittery form the caffeine but this should not be an issue if you take half of the recommended dosage to start off with. If you get a great workout with half of the dosage, then you can increase it to the daily dosage the product tells you to take in. I only take this product on the days that I weight train for maximum effects and results.
