Default NO-Xplode: Recomended scoops...

You know, at $45.00 a jug I want my suppliments to last.
And this NO-Xplode scoop recomendatons is outrageous!

you get 40 scoops per jug.
Directions recomend 1-3 scoops pre-workout.
And 1 scoop non training days.

OK, so that's a possible total of 3 scoops a day x's 5
and 1 scoop x's 2.

So, that's 17 scoops per week.
34 scoops every 2 weeks.
I'm out of this stuff in about 2-1/2 weeks.

My question is,
is that really necessary?

I feel great taking one scoop with a scoop of creatine pre-workout.
I think 2 or 3 scoops is over kill. And I wonder if this "non-training" day scoop is really necessary as well.

Listening to my own body and judging the results I see and feel, I'm fine with one scoop on work out days only. And I think this extra scoop business for "Maximum Results" is nothing more than marketing strategy to empty out my jug faster than I can say Cat in a Hat, and get me to buy more sh!t.

Opinions anyone?

Is it really necessary..........Well bro, you said listening to your own body is the key here.

No, the recommended dose is not a marketing strategy. Its the fact that everyone responds differently to stimulants and supplements. Its up to you to see how it and any other supplement works for you. The recommended dose is there because they have to test their product first and see where a safe maximum dose can be. If they were to put out a product where 3 scoops actually hurt someone, they'd have a lawsuit on their hands. Or many, as the case may be. I got results from taking it just as directed and with lower doses.


Im assuming you did not do enough research on this product or you would have seen where many different people got results from many different dosage schemes. Real smart, fella. Quit getting on here trashing something you know very little about.

I took 1 bottle of NO-XPlode and I started taking 2 scoops on workout days and after a while, I went to 3 scoops. I never took any on my rest days.

Oh VPLAYER, there you go sweet talking me again!

"Quit trashing something you know very little about"
You got all that from my one post?

And what was that...
"Quit getting on here" trashing something I blah blah blah.

Really?
I keep getting on here trashing?
When was this?
You, my little sloped cranium friend are the one who needs the research. I would just love for you to show me one post where I have gotten on here to trash some suppliment.

Sweetie, it was just a question followed up by one mans opinion.
Not a knock on your mothers Tuna Casarole.

Oh, what was the other brilliant concept you blessed us all with?
Do research to see people have different opinions and different results?

LOL

Really?

Never though of that!
You must be one of Dannyboys top pupils in the Inernet for Assholes forum.
You Boob, if anyone were to avoid asking a question because "research" might show a difference in opinion then there would be no point in asking questions period! Obviously everyone will have a different opinion or different result from everything in life. Not just suppliments which I know are near and dear to your little heart, sweetie.

relax, sweetie.
It's gonna be alright.

There is no need to get camel-toe over something as trivial as NO-Xplode dosage. OK, sweetie?

If you can't answer the question without getting sensitive nipples over it then don't respond sweetie.

You're a big dumb sack of sugar, aren't you?
Sour on the outside but sweet on the inside?

Thanks for the help, sweetie.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious that different people
have different opinions.

Talk to you soon.
miss me.

XOXOXOX

Thank you Nighthawk for the insightful and polite responce.
But I'm curious, did you ever try the off-day shot?
from your experience you didn't think the off-day shot
was important, right?

See, that was my point (which I dramaticly lost with another poster)
I was curious as to the overall importance and neccesity of the extra shots and more over, the off day one.

I wonder if anyone has tried and seen results from using and then not using, or not using and then using the extra shots.

And gee whiz I hope this is the place to post that kind of question
or, should I google it first?

Thank you Sir.
I appreciate the help

No, I didnt think taking it on off days was necessary. To me, it was a pre-workout drink, so why waste it on rest days ? At least thats the effect it had on me.

Not too bright, but certainly not dumb!
It's just when you start pouring on all that sexy hot blooded talk
it just gets my knees shaking. I'm simply not man enough for you
or that kind of talk! Maybe if you just left out all the sweet nasties
at the end of your post I might have a better relationship with you.

But your just to aggresive.
And it will never work out betwen us.
I have too many questions about suppliments
and your mothers Tuna Cassarole gives me the sh!ts.

Don't ever forget me sweetie.
And try to remember all the fun we had
when we were together.

See ya, sweetie.

Same here bros, I think it should only be used on workout days. I noticed that if I took it for about 4 days straight, I could not even tell I was taking it anymore. The effects just stopped like I was immune. I have heard to only take it in intervals such as one day on one day off. But, it did get me pumped like a crackhead.

Now that was a better way of directing what you were trying to ask. And there is a practical and scientific answer for each and every thing you seek.

But seeing as to how you totaly mistake my answers and they make you get the camel toe you accused me of getting....and seeing how Im cranium sloped (good one, BTW)....and a boob........Im probably not smart enough to know anything about supplements or anything. Yup. Im dumb. I cant answer.

I'll give 2 bumps to that.

Good news too.
That means my stuff might last me a month of workouts.

And sorry to keep this going but what was the difference from one scoop to 3 scoops? Was one scoop simply not cuting it? Was tehre a significant pump that came with 3 scoops?

I didnt feel anything with 1 scoop. I did at 2 but 3 had the best effect.

I am a little guy, but usually a non responder. I started out with 2 scoops on an empty stomach and it made me feel high as a kite. I had to go down to 1 scoop to prevent a heart attack. OK maybe not a heart attack, but my pulse went up about 20 beats a minute and I felt light headed.

Tell me the truth...

You are going to use my "Camel-Toe" line on someone, aren't you?
LOL

Go on! Use it, I don't mind. What I lack in supplimental knowledge I make up in sharp wit.

What say we make a trade?
I give you good one-liners,
you turn me on to good suppliments?

And don't go trying to get me on some pill thats gonna give me ***** tits.
I'm tired of that joke and boobs tickle too much.

LMAO!!!!!!!!........omg, that was good. Not too many people are that witty. I like you already. Ok, here goes......cant say you dont deserve it.


Quote:

I did and some of the people I know also did. I did not notice a weeklong sense of well being when I failed to take the day off shot, and so did a lot of the people I talked to. So, that gives me reason to believe that if it stays in your system, you have better overall workouts from one to the next. Which is kind of what happened. I noticed that when I took the day off dose, I had better workouts the following days.

Quote:

I think it was. But not just from my experience.

Having said all THAT, there were also plenty of journals I read and plenty of people I talked to that felt fine even without the day off shot. So I think its a matter of how your body responds to stimulants such as these. The drawback to taking it as directed is that you can get mildly addicted to it. Im not sure if its physical or psychological, but I came to love the stuff and I didnt want to stop using it. AND Ive never been one to recieve much of anything from stimulants.

Quote:

Like you said at first, listen to your body. If you can afford it, try it both ways. Do one week on the recommended and one week on just training days. See how it goes.

That makes sence considering your weight.
See, with me, I'm a bulked out 230 pounder but the one scoop with ceratine
is working just fine. So it made me wonder about the validity of the "recomended dosage" info on the container.

Sure, they are required by law to post it for safety reasons.
But c'mon! When a suppliment brand also recomends that for maximum results you also use thier brand of protein, and creatine, and glutamine and ect ect ect.... Well, I think that goes beyond health and legal concerns and more over to the financials of marketing.

But like I said, that is just one mans opinion

Cant really do that here. I really dont think there's many things equal to Xplode by itself. Its a great supplement. Now, you can take BCAAs and EAAs together and get the same results. Probably better. But you wont get the rush and sense of well being. You also have to take mega doses.

Also, you can try regular bulk CEE creatine and stack it with SNAC's Aerobitine and come out cheaper and with the same results. Also probably some more fat loss due to the almost thermogenic properties of Aerobitine. But once again, you probably wont get the rush effect of Xplode. Ive tried both ways and Im still wanting to go back to Xplode. Just my pocketbook wont let me.

Yeah, I think that companies sometimes say to take more than needed just so you will run out and have to buy more. If I took 3 scoops of that stuff, I would die.

No, that in itself is actually true. There are many supplements that you can stack with others from a different brand and get slightly different/better results. Its due to what the company puts into their supplements and what doses they use. For instance, some companies use more arginine. Muscletech is one I dont trust, but mainly because their products are overhyped. But BSN stacks pretty damned good within themselves.


BUT........ not everyone needs the full stack. For example, BSN's famous Mass Stak: someone under the age of 40 does not need the Axis HT Test booster. And Xplode with their Nitrix is overkill in someone who is not below say, 8% bodyfat. You wont see the miniscule differences that Nitrix and Xplode together can do unless you already have a physique where small differences will show.
