I was going to do a little write up today on my thoughts about BSN’s N.O. Xplode, when I realised that I’ve actually written about this amazing supplement earlier in February this year. Read it HERE. I posted up an ad too (MUST WATCH!) which I thought was truly one of a kind. In fact, I still think that this ad kinda gives you a ‘kick’ and makes you wonder.. is this pre-workout supplement FOR REAL?
Now, 7 months later and having personally used up to 3 tubs of N.O. Xplode myself, let me tell you that this is one supplement that lives up to its claims. Also, one of the main reason why its so popular, is because its effects can be felt almost immediately. Just consume 1 serving about 45 minutes before your workout… and you’ll KNOW what I’m talking about.
Is N.O. Xplode for every gym goer?
Well.. perhaps not. Firstly.. N.O. Xplode is serious stuff… and its going to allow you to train like a FREAK! I believe that its effects would be put to best use if you’re one of those who spend most of your workout hours at the weights area… If your goals at the gym is trying to bulk up, gain serious mass, lift heavy weights, and put on some serious muscle.. then this is for you. To the big beast at the gym who grunts and lifts insane poundages… this is for you.
But, if the only thing you do at the gym is attend the Les Mills classes (with the exception of Bodypump) or if youre into just cardio alone.. then this is not for you. If your idea of a hardcore workout is to dance around the weights area with those tiny coloured dumbbells, this aint for you too buddy.
So what on earth is it.. and what does it do?
Basically, N.O. Xplode (N.O. stands for Nitric Oxide) is a pre-training performance & energy ‘igniter’ that gets you IN THE MOOD and super-pumped up for your workout. It gives your body an immediate SURGE of Nitric Oxide (for amazing pumps/increased bloodflow and recovery to your muscle), a SURGE of CEM3 (Creatine ethyl ester malate, which is BSN’s proprietry creatine+creatine delivery method in the body) and a whole load of other stuff that doesnt look like anything like english. But let me assure you, that it WORKS, and that every one of my friends that I’ve shared my tub with end up buying a tub of their own the very next day. For detailed info on N.O. Xplode, download the Product Specs HERE (.pdf, 180kb).
Of course, when combined with BSN’s Nitrix & Cellmass… you can expect physique-altering results that are noticeable in less than a month. I’ve seen this myself!
So people… are you ready to be the first among your friends at your gym to experience N.O. Xplode and laugh at your friends in the gym who aren’t?
To all my regulars who have been faithfully visiting my site since ages ago (and there are alot of you, I know - awesome!!), you should know that its very rare that I talk very positively about a particular sports supplement. The last time I did so was in my post about Optimum Nutrition’s 100% Whey Protein.. and until today, I still use it MYSELF and recommend Optimum’s Whey Protein very highly.
So.. in order to allow you guys who have been dying to try N.O. Xplode all this while, but never really did so - I have negotiated and purchased 20 tubs of N.O. Xplode at a very good price, and am willing to extend a portion of this discount to my readers (the other portion goes towards the maintenance of this site :) ). So..
WHILE SUPPLIES LAST (I’ve only got 20 tubs!!), the 1.81 lb tub of N.O. Xplode is being offered to dailymuscle.com readers at a blow-out price of RM225 per tub! (Currently, N.O. Xplode is retailing at RM239.99 and RM237.15 from 2 local Malaysian sports nutrition stores.) Don’t miss this opportunity if you’ve always wanted to try N.O. Xplode. Click this link for details on how to order your tub of N.O. Xplode @ RM225!
To all my female readers out there who aren’t getting excited over this offer.. I promise that my next offer will be a deal exclusively for women.. and it will BEAT this one - simply because you people.. are the BEST! *wink*
Stay tuned!
Your friend and coach,
DM

Dude,
Where can i get some? ive been waiting for it in malaysia for ages…
**when girls see my muscle, they will hussle**
Hey DM, That thermogenic you recommended me is great!!! I like the bottle that it comes in too :) You can be sure that i’ll recommend it to my other MAS girls as well… i know they’ll appreciate you ;)
Whose that Noel guy that you sent to do your delivery? i think he’s too huge for my liking.
Anyway why don’t you have a product thats good for both genders?
hey DM,
since u live in bangsar, will u switch to celebrity fitness in bangsar village?
i plan to sign up…then, i can try to find out who u r… :P
Hussle: thanks bro.. I have forwarded your order to my boys.
lydia82: I’m glad it worked so well for you. It all depends on the individual.. what works for you, may sometimes not work as well for someone else. Noel? He’s just a buddy of mine… he ain’t that big.. is he? Looks like I need to check what he’s been up to! A product for both genders? Well.. Lean Dessert Protein (protein shake/meal replacement) is something that appeals to women.. perhaps I’ll nego for a deal on that next month. Keep your fingers crossed!
MINTy: I don’t recall staying in Bangsar.. you sure you’ve got the right fitness blog? Geez.. all that effort just to find out who I am. Wouldnt it be easier to just ask me out for a drink? You just love complicating things dont you… :P
I have been taking No explode and cellmass for a little more than two weeks now and i feel great. I am expierencing some very nice gains. Is adding nitrix to this going to make a difference or should i just stick with the two I’m on now?
Hey DM, I picked up my Noxplod this morning from your friend. Thanks for the note. I can’t wait to try it tonight!! Will let you know how it works! Thanks bro!!!!! Time to crash the gym!!
Hi. I’ve been a silent reader for the past few months. Your site is truly informative for both advanced bodybuilders and newbies like me. Thanks!
I see that N.O Xplode contains zero protein. As a pre-workout supplement itself, could I substitute my protein powder with N.O. Xplode? How about post-workout?
Thanks again for the info.
takedown: Most people would be happy with NO Xplode and cellmass cos it would show results pretty quick.. my advice to you - if you have the spare cash, then invest in Nitrix, and yes, it will help. But otherwise.. you’re pretty okay with those two. By the way, Cellmass + N.O. Xplode + Nitrix = The BSN Mass Stack. Incredible results in 20 days.. I’ll dare guarantee it. ;)
mc1959: Don’t break anything alrite? Be gentle now.. Have fun!!
Taek: I’ve always believed that for every 1 person who posts a comment on this site.. there are another 9 who just read and not say anything. Thanks for your kind words.
To answer your question, yes, N.O. Xplode does not contain any protein.. as its main purpose is to get you READY to workout with maximum intensity, so you make the most out of your time at the gym. If you wish to follow BSN’s method of supplementing, you should also consume 1 serving of Cellmass post-workout.. and 30 mins after you’ve had Cellmass, THEN you have your protein shake. Basically, N.O. Xplode and Cellmass fill in the gaps that most other supplements out there don’t. If you have the money to spare, i’d highly recommend both Xplode & Cellmass because I know you’ll be pleased with the results. I know it works wonders for me. Just 2 weeks on this combo and 3 personal trainers, on the very same day commented on a noticeable increase in size on me. It’s exciting!
By the way people.. I’ve just realised that this entire post and its comments have become like a super BSN advertisement… but please believe me.. I’m not being paid to do this! (I wish I was though!!).
Just yesterday I was talking to an FF Axis PT, and he was kindda like explaining the pro’s of BSN. Told him that my goal is not to be like Incredible Hulk, but just one size bigger that what I am now. Gave me some advise about this product. But the main point, after reading this post, I will definately get 1 tub for me. Once I have the budget for it. Thanks DM!
p/s How in the world did FF Axis got the Best Personal Training Team award????
Ooooh…. somebody running promotion eh?
Hafiz: Its good that you have a goal and have an idea of what you want to look like. Just one size bigger? Are you sure? Heh heh. Since its gonna be awhile until you get to experience N.O. Xplode.. here’s what I’ll do - email me a mailing address you can be reached at, and I’ll see if I can get you a product sample. I know I have a bunch lying somewhere at home.
As for FF Axis getting the award.. honestly, I think they deserve it.
Jay: Well.. just thought i’d give everyone a better chance to experience what its like to be on Xplode… caring is sharing..
elo jay gip some sample for NO explode la. then I can see for myself if i works for me… coz I wanna work like an ANIMAAAAAAAAAAAL
DM how will NOXplde work for women? I’m beginning to lift weights right now and i get tired easily. Please advice
OK! I am female and my trainer just recently wanted me to start taking this…I have yet to purchase some but am on it, in it, and all around it now, thanks Daily Muscle :)
DM: Caring is sharing huh? Last time I told that to my gf, the only thing i got out of it was…. nevermind (it hurts).
Stacey: Yeah girl! Join the BSN army…
Steveneleven & All you peeps out there: As DM personally knows me and i aint that ‘kind’ a person, i wont be dishing out freebies unlike a certain promiscious somebody **ahem ahem** but what i will do is with every purchase above RM180, you will be entitled for a (which means in plain simple English accepted by the whole wide world as ‘one’) free sample of NO-Xplode… while stocks last of course. ;)
180 and above? time for a tub of Optimum Whey la woi!.. wahahaha
Hey DM! You got samples? Oooo… Will email you my house address a.s.a.p. And now you’ll know where to go during the Raya holidays. LOL. Personally. I think the only PT in FF Axis who deserves the award is Julian and another guy whom I don’t know his name. As for the “Chinese-boy-with-specs” and “The-purple-hair-chic”, well… you do the maths there dude! *clears throat*
steveneleven: Be a man and get a tub for yourself.
Feminine Mascularity: I like your nick.. it gives me shivers!! If you’re just beginning to lift weights.. and feel that you get tired easily.. I’d hold off the fancy supplements for now, and examine your meals. Perhaps your carbohydrate intake before your workouts are a bit too low..? Try bumping up your carb intake for your pre-workout meal. A supplement like N.O. Xplode is not a ‘must-have’.. but a ‘nice-to-have’.
Stacey: Its an honour to have you comment on my site. Really! You are ONE dedicated woman of steel! I salute you! Thanks for the link on your blog which has been there for ages. And have fun with Xplode.. your workouts will never be the same again..
Jay: Oh.. so now you’re calling me a supplement whore.
DM: hahahha that verse sounds so bloody familiar from a standup comedian!.. BE A MAN!… hahaha.. watch this..: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isioSgFoxww
DM, u suggested Feminine Mascularity to bump up carb intake for pre-workout meal, so wat sort of food u suggested? soli i can think of any except bread ;p but i think bread is a bit too full ler…
steveneleven: Yeah.. Russel peters is funny.
aik: I like your question. We need to make sure that we eat the right foods before our workout in order to maximize efforts and results. Also, stick to complex carbohydrates because they take longer to be converted to glucose, which will keep blood sugar levels consistent and prevent an ‘energy crash’ during a workout. Avoid simple carbohydrates such as sweets up to 60 minutes before exercising as they can send blood sugar levels shooting down, leading to a severe drop in energy.
You could try apples, bananas, muesli, or my personal favourite - oatmeal! I guess bread is kinda okay too. To maximise results if you’re trying to build muscle, I’d also suggest a protein shake with your pre-workout meal. You should mix the shake with water to keep the calories down since you’re already consuming carbs from your meal.
how much is a tub? i’ve not tried this!
totally missed that out…it’s RM225. Sorry la bro, a bit steep for me. :(
stupe: Hey stupe.. keep a lookout for the postman. There’s a sample of N.O. Xplode on its way to you!
DM: was reading the instructions for NO Xplode, says “To achieve maximum results, avoid eating a meal or drinking a protein shake within an hour of taking NO-Xplode”. Now my pre-workout shake includes one scoop of whey powder, if i take NO Xplode would that diminish my results? or should i not take whey pre-wo (but NO Xplode doesnt have protein right?)
mol: Hey there.. Hopefully, your doubts will be cleared in my latest writeup here: http://www.dailymuscle.com/2006/10/02/bsns-no-xplode-consumed-on-an-empty-stomach/
And yeah, NO Xplode does not contain protein.
Hey I have just stumbled upon this site. I am taking no xplode and i love it(i just started the noxplode around the 15th of january). I just started getting into bodybuilding in august of 2006 i was 6′3″ 158lbs now i am 183lbs as of yesterday. I just started taking noxplode but i was wondering if cellmass would help me out. I am trying to get into the 195-200 range- I take 20g protein after breakfast, after workout, and then right before bed. that has been working very well. i eat 3-4 eggs for breakfast with a bagel. i eat fruit almost everyday. I eat tuna or turkey sandwiches midday. then i workout, then have lunch usually tuna or grilled chicken, I usually have more eggs at night with chicken maybe beef a couple times per week. I am not trying to be bulky, i just want to be larger and more cut. I was wondering if cellmass is right for me. I allso would like to know how i should cycle on and off of noxplode and cellmass. i want max gains. thanks
Frank the Tank: Personally, Cellmass gives far better results alone compared to NO-xplode taken alone… But if you combine both and stack them accordingly, the results will blow ur mind away!! :P (Although ur nutrition, workout and rest shld be sufficient too!)
If you want max gains, go for both! That’s my advice :)
Easily gain 15-20lbs for me in one month with stacking both supps! At least 90% muscle mass as I’m ectomorph…
Anyway, ur food intake seems great :)
hey.. dis NO Xplode thg is foreign to me haha.. n i hv no idea what it may help w.
im not tryg to build bulk but i think im too low on carbs. e below is only applicabl to days im wrkg.
std breakfast: muesli, cornflakes, raisins, banana (sometimes), nestum and milk or soyabean (low fat, reduced sugar kind)
midmorning: coffee, black. sometimes a cracker.
lunch: sliced fish noodles (boiled/steamed) w some bee hoon, loads of chillipadi :) i like my food spicey ;)
mid-aftrnoon: apple (not always, sometimes i skip mid-aftrnoon snack)
pre-wrkout: complan milk (or smth of that nature) w a supplement fr Pharmanex called PharmanexAccel.
post-wrkout: tuna, lean ham, beef meat (fatless), eggs, toufu, vege, chicken breast (mixture of any listed, and only steamed, boiled, grilled or oil-less fryg)
so let me know where im gg wrong! if i am! :O
That’s a great dietary regiment you have going there fitchick.. I try my best to stick to something similar too.. Unless I have meals with clients etc, then a bit susah to escape if you know what I mean…
haha yeah i know what u mean abt “a bit susah to escape if you know what I mean…”
my colleagues/ friends often try to “sabotage” me during e wkends or whenever w japananese/ italian dinners or margaritas/ kilkennys / stella or whatever.. ahhahaa.. will power is a must!! :D
or it’s ‘gruesome’ workouts at e gym e next day due to sheer guilt.
Hi , keep up the good work with the site, i find it interesting and fairly informative.
I weigh 57 kilos and stand at about 5 ft 8 inches. I want to gain more muscle mass and plan to hit 70 kilos in 4 months, without the use of steroids. I’m currently taking a product called Serious Mass. Can you give me some advice and guidance in achieving this? And is it possible to get a sample of NOXplode so I can try it for myself before purchasing it? I’ve been hearing and reading alot about this product and I am interested in buying a tub.
Thanks in advance.
-D
Hey I work out in the morning around 6am. I started taking NO-Explode. The directions say I must take it on a empty stomach. I wake so early that I can’t eat breakfast and then wait 2 hours. When I decided not to eat breakfast and take the no-explode I was feeling weird. I had way less muscle fatigue but I was so hungry that it made the workout alot tougher than it had to be. But with all this I still had my best lifts in months. So to get to the main point do you have to take no-explode on a empty stomach, or can I eat and then take no-explode like 30 min later. Well I look foward to your answer.
Marcos: That’s a good question - and the answer is simple actually once you understand why. If there was food in your stomach, it would greatly slow down the absorption rate of the NO-XPLODE, so you won’t feel its effects as much as you do now.
Solid food (a reasonable sized meal) takes about 2 hours to clear your stomach and move into the intestines, and liquids (e.g. a protein shake) take about an hour. If you do take your XPLODE 30 mins after your meal.. you may only feel a very small effect because the absorption has been slowed down because of the presence of food in your stomach.
If you MUST have something in your stomach.. I’d advice you to consume a protein shake before your XPLODE, since it is liquid and will clear your stomach faster than solid food - maybe mix it with milk for some extra calories, and then drink the XPLODE about 60 mins after that, or you can even try 30 mins after that. Give it a try and let me know how this works for you.
Hi…. i have a quick qustion.. am a 25 yr old female…kinda juz started workin out… interested to tone up my flabby skin mostly… have lost huge amts of weight so got a lot of fixin to do.. am mostly concentratin n cardio… do u think N.O xplode is a great pre workout meal in the morning for me??? Shud i juz take the drink alone and workout? Thanx in advance
NOOO! There are only 36 calories in N.O. xplode…I know you are thinking that is a good thing but there is no nutritional value in these calories these are calories from sodium and potassium mostly. A good pre-workout meal would consist of a piece of fruit and some peanut butter or nuts. N.O. xplode has alot of caffeine and a little bit of creatine. I would recommend using it before a workout but atleast an hour after a small meal. whenever you workout you always want to have a little something nutritional in your stomach. One reason I don’t like this supp is that you are supposed to wait along time after you eat in order to get full benefits. Honestly its cheaper to drink coffee and have some fruit before a workout.
good luck
i think its safe to say that N.O Xplode is designed for the heavier (read : more intense) workouts.
for cardios and light training, there are other supplements that you can look at. N.O Xplode is designed for the ruff stuffs.
right on trey…its more for weights. alot of people do not like caffeine before cardio because it speeds up the heart rate. if you are going to run it will speed it up anyway….just asking for fatigue
DM: I just want to let you know I think this site is great, I was looking for information about NO Xplode and Nitrix and found a lot of great information here!!
I just wanted to ask you a few questions I have about these products- I have a really hard time gaining any kind of muscle mass! I’ll get a little bit of definition and I don’t want to be huge but I want a little more definition than I get normally! Some people recommended lifting really heavy and it works but only to a point and others said maybe up my cardio and getting rid of the extra fat will make me look more defined, but honestly it just made me disgustingly skinny, so I am trying NO Xplode and Nitrix right now- do you think these will help me get the definition that I have such a hard time getting with out them as a female or is there anything else you would recomment? I don’t want to be ridiculously muscular or anything, but I want the amount of time I spend in the gym to show on my body! I take protein regularly and I eat a clean diet. I have had a lot of people tell me not to take creatine because girls have a tendency to retain water and that it would cause my body to do that! Well if you have any advice let me know! Thanks so much and keep up the good work on your site! =)
WorkoutFanatic : Hey there - thanks for the kind words.
Would you mind sharing your weight, height, and age - and bodyfat percentage if you have it..
That would help me get a mental picture of you, and come up with a more suitable recommendation.
Generally speaking, you can go very far without the need for any supplementation - but since you have already bought these, then thats okay too. Many people don’t realize that showing some definition requires 2 things:
1. muscle
2. low bodyfat percentage
So if you don’t have enough muscle on you and get lean - you wont have impressive muscle definition to show - instead, you’ll just look skinny. So if you lack muscle mass, you may want to work on that first for a few months - then only after that, focus on getting leaner. To build muscle, you should train in the 8 to 12 rep range, hit every body part at once or twice at most per week, and get enough rest. Plus, besides eating ‘clean’, you also need a higher calorie intake to support that weight gain. You’ll gain a bit weight… and that’s normal - so you diet after that and focus on getting leaner.
Hope I’m making sense?
Anyway… write to me with more details, then perhaps I can be more specific with my recommendations.
Hear from you soon.
