What is the most effective supp u guys have tried in terms of the pump u get and energy? It can be a mixed pre workout drink like the N.O/creatine/stimulant or just plain N.O. Some of my past favourites have been N.O explode and horsepower(besides the terrible taste it was pretty potent in the pump department).

Hands down, superpump250 all the way.

I strongly prefer the powders to any NO pills. I hated horsepower, sry to disagree with a fellow canuck, but the stuff tasted so bad and gave me the wrost gut rot ive ever had and completely ruined my workout until i got over it and worked out. that was a long day..

SuperPump250 - Great energy and pump but the worst sh@ts post-workout, causes some dehydration for that reason alone.

NO Xplode - Has always worked for me.

I am waiting on Shock Therapy, sent from a friend who states "the best pre-workout drink ever, taste, pump, energy all f@cking fantastic". Any reviews on Shock Therapy?

Shock Therapy is pretty good, kinda like Vapor but I think less stimulants. I would give it 8 out of 10. Nano Vapor - 9/10. My opinion.:cool:

Hate to be "that guy" but N.O. Xplode. That stuff is like crack! Also, SP 250 is right up there. Didn't like Nano Vapor, so I'm in the minority on that one. I wanna try NO Shotgun.

SHock Therapy by Universal is awesome...

got some samples of cold fusion from LG scienses I believe last year at the arnold... that was really good too.

but storm and shock therapy together is great stuff.

I love superpump250. Always gives me exactly what I need as far as energy and focus. I haven't tried much else in this department though. My roommate prefers NOxplode. He takes it and goes lap swimming.

that is what i am using as we speak...taste doesn't bother me...but it doesn't taste good...gut rot feels just like a cleanse...as far as effectiveness, it has only been a week, so we'll see...

NO-Xplode... I've also tried the WFF pump'd, Super-pump, NO-shotgun, and vaso-charge... ALways came back to the No-xplode tho... It does exactly what I want it to do: Gives me GREAT energy, GREAT pump, and I never get a 'crash' from it either... works well for me!

I have had similar situations. For some reason I decide to try other supps sometimes. Somehow I alwayscome back to N.O explode! Thats the first supp I ever took!

NO Xplode(until you adapt to it, which seems it happens quick with Xplode)
Gaspari Superpump250

I have not heard a lot of feedback on this product. So the pumps are really good on this stuff or what? Also is the energy boost there as well? I was thinking of trying some out but I wanna give N.O Shotgun a go as I have heard a lot of good things about it.

Hey man I hear ya for sure. The stuff is pure nasty in taste and it can screw your gut over big time. I had a couple bad moments myself lol. But for the most part it went well for me and the pumps I got on that shit were retarded. I remember one time my biceps got so pumped I thought I tore them hahaha.

Matt, from MHP showed me some pics of his back after a workout. It was ll red like he had a sunburn. He said it was from all the blood in the area while taking Dark Rage.

I have a couple samples, I am going to try it today and tomorrow.

today is chest, tomorrow is quads.

If u could update us here after your chest workout that would be sweet and much appreciated. I am thinking of ordering some of this along with the NO shotgun.

2 scoop's of Gaspari's Super Pump 250 pre-workout is second to none!

No-xplode works well for about three weeks and then the pumps start to go down, jacked is a great supplement, it mentally gets you ready for the workout. I am hundred percent focused when i take it.

02-17-2009, 12:10 AM
I was up to 3 scoops of SP250 I like it and pretty much anything from Gaspari, but I have since switched to Nzero from Cellucor,I LOVE THIS STUFF I have been using it now for 3 months.

Being one of the guys that are like a pornstar doing a guy with a 1" dick guy...I feel nothing from it. That doesn't mean I still don't try them out when I get hopeful. So far I would tell people to give ALR's WTF pumped a try. I actually did feel something from that stuff. Heard if you take the Primed with it, it only makes it better.

I've tried all the majors. SP250 with plasmajet, NO Shotgun v3, NO Explode, Trac Extreme and hate to say it...even MuscleTechs stuff. Even went high doses, still nothing.

Stimulants don't hit me that hard, but I felt something w/ the WTF. So I'm sure you guys that are sensitive to that stuff should get some CRAZY pumps.

I hate to be "that guy" that mentions something off the wall, but I like glycerine, salt, creatine, and a bunch of fast carbs with plenty of water before the workout for a big pump. High doses of taurine and creatine PWO is good to volumize so that future pumps are better.

for best pumps i take 1 scoop karbolyn mixed with WTF pumped, 2 primed ultra caps and 4 ngorge caps. i you just want to be cracked out then Dark Rage or usp labs Jacked.

BigChris
02-20-2009, 06:53 PM
I can recommend combination of Gaspari's Plasma Jet (2 hours before workout) and SuperPump 250 (about 15-30 minutes before workout)... try this and go to bend some barbells ;)

Zetawill
02-20-2009, 07:40 PM
Superpump is too high in caffeine to fully absorb all the Arginine....you are getting a caffeine head rush, not a muscle pump....same kind of goes with NO Explode

I use either this little known product called Arnge Krush or Fast Twitch. Arnge Krush also has Krealkalyn so I usually rock with it.

I just got a new one called Explosion Ultimate, has AKG Arg, Krealkalyn, and BETA-ALANINE, and solid mental focus formula. Incredible pumps!

Jason Newman
02-20-2009, 08:35 PM
check journals on arginine, has no good proof to NO increases as a supplement, better off with citruline malate products and glycerine.

I just checked out the website. It looks promising. Does it actually have the amounts of each ingredient? Or is it one of those 30 grams and this is what is in those 30 grams kind of deal? Cuz when I was looking on the site it only had what was in it but not how much.

Agreed. Huge fan of the glycerine+salt+creatine combo, and will add waxy this offseason. Pumps are even better when glycerine is added to your drinking water throughout the day, not just preworkout.

NO Xplode + Creatin Mono + Beta Alanine + Arginin AKG that's my pre-workout mix and it rocks. I know that there is Creatin and Arginin in NO Xplode but since i added Crea+Beta A + Arg AKG i have unbelievable pumps and i tried a lot of NO products. Probably i should add and glycerine , will see.

I get the best works ever w/ 1 scoop of WTF & 2 caps of Primmed Ultra(both ALRI products) I can do an hr of weights & cardio w/ that stack! Also like NO-Shotgun cuz its mostly aminos & has no carbs good pump too. Also like Ragnarok cuz its calorie free! Superdump 250 is good too, it gives some ppl the runs not me though

It has enough to kick some ass lol.. I think he protects his mix. I got 2 more bottles of it coming to me this week. I can't wait. I am on cycle and I still love the stuff.

I finally got my N.O Shotgun a few days back. I had a chest and shoulders workout today on it and it was good. I got the watermelon flavour. It tastes awesome and mixes really well. I had a great pump and good energy. I think I am gonna stick with this for a couple tubs for sure.

Had a chance to try the wtf pumped and i'm loving it. taste isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I'm not even fighting to get it down. But does offer nearly immediate focus and you really just want to start the workout about 15 minutes after I take it. It says 30-45 minutes preworkout... but I workout at home and I'm always ready to go well before that when I take wtf.

great energy, intesne focus... and it doesn't leave you wired after the workout which was a big problem with a lot of the NO products that are basically just tons of caffeine mixed with a sweetner.. This you feel working when you want it... and then when you're done, you're done.

great product. can't wait to try the new one.

Honestly, I would rank that among the best pre workout meals. I hate it when douche bags push legitimate ideas, then the idea sounds like shit. Sodium is great and beneficial pre workout.

Has anyone tried GDA's w/ waxy and aminos or creatine pre workout? Response?

Synthasize is the shisnit! I know its supposed to be PWO but i use before, during and after and the pumps are painfull! First I drink around 12 oz of water with taurine so my clen doesn't cramp me up. I then chase that with synthasize on the way to the gym. I then will drink synth during the workout as well. By the time i am done with a couple of warm up sets the pumps is already kickin in!

I finally tried Dark Rage from MHP a few days back. It gives u great focus, energy, pump, and strength increase for a extra rep or 2. The only bad things about this is that the taste is shit, I got the fruit punch and it is pretty bad. Also towards the end of the workout I got a pretty queezy feeling in my gut and I almost had to go to the bathroom to barf. Overall though I like it and would give it a 4/5
