naNO Vapor review
Well, after much deliberation I went ahead and gave Muscletech's naNO Vapor a go. To give you some backround, im about 5'7 160 lbs. and currently working on a somewhat clean bulk to add some mass (I was a lightweight high school wrestler, now im done with sports). Been working out for about 4 years. Currently the only supplement I've been taking has been some ON whey post workout as well as BCAA's. I don't normally buy into hype and do as much research as I can find with products I might potentially use. So I did my research on naNO and it had its good share of good/bad reviews. I decided to test it myself, and here is what I found. Hope it helps someone out there.
Took one scoop as the bottle said. Felt no extra energy or focus. The Monster/Redline I used to drink before my workouts was much better. I was able to pump out a few more reps on a few of my exercises, however I won't credit this to the naNO, since there isn't any conclusive evidence that's what helped me. The biggest thing I noticed with it is that I was getting some pretty big pumps with the NO part of the product. I definetely noticed a difference between after workouts while off/ on the naNO.
So for the final summary.
Taste: 9/10 -some people said it was horrible, I ordered the fruit punch and I thought it tasted a bit like kool aid. Definetely one of the better tasting products I've used.
Energy/focus: 2/10 -A 2 because im being generous. I didn't notice anything. No shakes or jittery. No extra focus.
Pumps: 8/10 -I think the NO in it made a big difference. Iv'e never used an NO product before, so I thought it was pretty cool.
Price: 6/10 -Found it online for decently cheap. Still expensive though.
So as an NO product I think the results are pretty awesome, and I love the taste. As a pre workout energy/focus product I think it sucks, and for the cost..I could have just as easily bought a cheaper NO product. I accidently ordered two 2lb bottles of this stuff instead of 1 and I hate wasting things. So I plan on finishing both of them eventually. My advice would be to not waste your money. Buy a Monster and a cheap NO if your looking for what this product advertises. I learned my lesson. Hope this was helpful.
I also pulled 305 today at the end of my workout. Didn't decide to press my luck and chance anything since I had minor knee surgery 4 months ago. But this is a PR for me atm, I'm not a very big kid =)
