i didnt like this N.O xplode 2.0. the first (2) scoops i had made me bounce off the walls with this. but after the second time i didnt feel any effects like i did the first time. your body gets use to it way to fast and basically wasted 30 some dollars on this. if you dont drink alot of water you will crash because of the caffine ingredients it has.

effectiveness 5 - it does build alittle muslce but didnt work for me

This stuff works great, the itchness is not from the niacin its from the increased amount of beta-alanine. When i get the feel of laziness i drink three scoops and boom! i'm hittin the weights. This stuff is way better than jackd3d, way too much stimulants in that crap.

Not really for me as i took it n just went in a mental rage wanting to destroy everything. Im 26 and a regular trainer, have been going for about 6 years now. Took this and just wanted to constantly train n tire myself out but couldnt stop going. But i dont usually drink coffee/alchol/ smoke or anything so can see why it has such a large effect on me. Just be warned

Ok so lately ive been using alot of stimmed out pwo but i realizes they made me too jittery so i switched to noexplode and its great no it doeant give a fast rush like jacked but its a nice smooth constant energy and my focus seems to be alot better and the pumps are nasty also im glad i went old school and picked up noexplode i do wish it was a bit cheaper

For me this product is 10's in all categories because it gave me exactly what i was looking for. I get a good boost in energy, and an increase in strength. One scoop is more than enough for me on an empty stomach. NO goes for around $30 for 50 servings. The cost per serving compared to other pre-workouts is why i decided the try it. I would recommend this to anyone who does not have a high tolerance for caffeine and looking for a great value.

I've taken NO fro about five years now, NO 2.0 isn't much different other than the original. It has an increased amount of nitric oxide and b12 (which is going to give you a tingly sensation) and increased maltodextrin labeled as glucose polymer, which is going to make you burn all the fast-acting carbohydrates before you are burning fat which is a negative since many are going for a lean muscle build. I do agree it does taste better, and doesn't give me as many stomach problems.
For weightlifting i give NO a 10, for cardio i give it a 1. For in my personal opinion during an agility workout it gives a choking or difficult to breath feeling. So i do prefer Jack3d for cardio and athletics for it is NCAA certfied and you won't fail any drug tests. Overall it is a great pre-workout no supp and should be cycled on 2 weeks of 1 week or you will build a tolerance quickly.

I used this product to help me prepare for my USAPL Bench meet in December. I used the grape flavor which provided a delicious tart candy taste. Product did exactly what it was meant for- Energy, Pump, Endurance, Strength, Focus. The main difference I have noticed of 2.0 from the original was that the stimulant blend is much stronger for instince, I took 3 scoops prior to my lift at 4 in the afternoon, that night I didn't sleep until 4:30 in the morning. This is NOT the only time it has happened. It did help me get First Place in that competition so I can't complain too too much.

Overall I believe BSN did a good job on this product.

i did not finish all the product but it tasted like plastic, it did not have the results i have been told, like the no shotgun, although it had no side effects.in the pros i would add that has a good value and it has plenty despite of other nitric oxides.

This is my first review so I will try and make it as informational and well rounded as possible.

As far as Pre-workouts go, I feel that No-Xplode is far behind the competition. This product did not work for me. The flavor was great ( I had orange and it tasted like a creamsicle) and the value was decent because it was a "hot buy" at GNC and my friend also hooked me up with the employee discount. Other than these two Pros, I can't say much about NO-Xplode

When taking NO-xplode I felt no increase in energy or focus and there was no increased pump at one or even two scoops of the product. . The dosage is big, and the scooper is huge when compared to other Pre-workouts, like C4 or 1MR. When taking 3 scoops, I would feel an increase in energy but would crash after the gym. When taking 3 scoops prior to working out, the tub does not last long and this lowers the overall value

I would not buy this product again or recommend it to a friend because I feel that there are much better PWOs for the money on the market. Hope this helps

This is my first review so hopefully I can offer some hindsight on this product fairly well.

First off, I have taken the first N.O Xplode, as well as this one. In my opinion, it is better across the boards, except it still gives me the runs like 70% of the time, and this is on 1 1/2 scoops. I have seen gains in all categories in my lifts and the taste is not so bad either.

Taste 8/10: Blue Raspberry is without a doubt my favorite flavor. It reminds me of a melted blue ICEE. It may be foamy, but it's not all that bad. Easy enough to get down, and a pre-workout that I can actually enjoy drinking.

Value TBD: This is where it gets tricky. If you can get it for a deal from say bodybuilding.com or find a good GNC discount, then grab it. $66.99 for 50 servings is enormously overpriced and receives a ZERO in that perspective. However, if you can get it for around $40 then it's a good buy and would rate at an 8.

Results: 8.5/10- So far my strength has increased across the board (Bench, Squat, Curls, Shoulder Press, Deadlifts, etc). Most notable my bench has gone from reping 155lbs to 225lbs and my squat from 225 to 350lbs. I still feel I have more room to grow, and this product definitely helps with getting you to the next level


I have taken Jack3d, C4 Extreme, and White Flood as PWO's as well. Both Jack3d and C4 were amazing, but I tended to build a tolerance within a couple weeks, which meant less focus in workouts. White Flood was disgusting and I could rarely finish a full serving without dry heaving. Pair that with horrible results and I am never using White Flood again. For N.O 2.0 I still take 1.5 scoops and have itchy energy and immense focus in the gym after a month. (Used before and only started to feel decline towards the very end of last tub)
The only draw back for N.O 2.0 is that it gives me (as well as a few others I know) the runs pretty bad. THey really need to work on this. Luckily the runs come after my workout, and not during like the previous N.O.
All in all this is a solid product to use, but if you don't want the runs or want to search around to find a discounted tub, then Jack3d (Lemon Lime) or C4 Extreme (Fruit Punch) would be safe choices instead.
