I was wondering what NO² boosters everyone used, if you happen to use one or have used one. I currently use NO-Xplode but it doesnt seem to give me the same pump that I use to get. I still get the energy from it but virtually no pump.

I'm wondering if my body has become accustomed to it and thats why I'm not getting the same results as I used to. I used Super Pump 250 for a while about 4 years ago but it wreaked havoc on bowel movements but it gave great pumps and energy levels.

I have been thinking of switching to Nitrix pills as a form of arginine because I was thinking during the stirring of my NO-xplode I may be losing some of the NO² due to the agitation and I could decrease this by taking a pill form of arginine.

Any ideas, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :cool:

Don't use them. Arginine is crap. Harsh? Yeah, but imo.

Instead take some Beta Alanine and Citulline Malate with maybe some GMS(glycergrow) with your EAA\BCAA before workout. Beta Alanine is awesome for endurance and citrulline Malate helps with Nitric Oxide production. Throw all of them together with some creatine and you will be throwing around weights.

I mix 2 scoops Xtend with 3 more scoops of bulk EAA, 3.2g of Beta Alanine, 4-5g creatine mono, 4g GMS 1-1.5 hours before workout. The GMS helps hold water in your muscles for quite a while. I look pumped for a few hours after the gym. It's nice.



Otherwise, you probably won't find too many people who use this stuff here.

I used to use NO Xplod, and I too saw its benefits diminish over time. Now I really like Animal Pump, and I've been using that in conjunction with Animal Pak and have been extremely happy with my results. Definitely worth the $$, IMHO.

I don't recommend any other Animal products aside from the aforementioned two, not because they don't work, but their other products don't seem to work well enough to justify their prices. I'm also a fan of pre and post workout Xtend.

The potency of every drug diminishes over time. Or I would say the drug is as potent still but your body is getting desensitized to the drug now ( receptor dessensitization).

I would say take a few weeks off by tapering it and then come back on.

So lately I've been feeling really sick after taking this supplement. Almost like I want to throw up. I decreased the amount that I take down from 3 scoops to a scoop and a half and I felt much better. Didnt get a great pump from it but I havent for some time anyways. I'm going to try to go to 2 scoops and see how this pans out. Once this cintainer is finished I will probably call it a day for this supplement for at least a while. Maybe try out the Nitrix pills and see if they dont work any better.

Doublequeso- How do you like AnimalPump? I've tried the AnimalPak but never their NO2 supp.

I was taking it daily at first, however recently I started taking a few grams straight creatine mono on non-lift days to stretch the Animal Pump. Didn't seem to make much difference.

Taking it about 30 min pre-lift works well for me. Plenty of energy and awesome pumps!
