Personally I really like NO-Xplode, but i've never taken No2.  If it's easy to return the no2 and get noxplode then I'd say go for  it ... it's a good product.

well i was able to return the NO2 for no xplode...


took the no xplode 30 mins prior to workout (1.5 scoops instead of 2 to ease into it), orange citrus, tasted really good btw


I didn't notice any major gains in power but I did notice that halfway through my workout I had a little more stamina and was able to put up my normal weight for a few more reps and sets...I didn't notice any light headedness or jitteryness, didnt feel more mentally focused at all either

I took the cellmass 20 mins after with 10 oz of water, ONE FULL SCOOP, tasted great as well, grape cooler...


Im waiting to eat, 30 mins from now I will, i'll also take another scoop of cell mass at about midnight as suggested....



hopefully day 2 will be better

Hey, I've been reading such amazing reviews about stacking NO explode, Cell Mass, and Nitrix I  just had to order some. I was just wondering if any of you guys who've taken this stuff for awhile could make me about like a daily routine. Its kinda hard for me because I work from 9-5 and I usually work out when I get off work. So should I like go home and eat and then head to the gym while taking like No explode at like 5 or something. Around wheat time should I be taking the nitrix pills and cellmass. I know there are alot of routines out there but im not sure me being 140 pounds would really have the same effect on me because im sure I should be taking alot less at a time of all these three supplements. I'd appreciate any help I could get. Very good forum by the way helped me out alot. Thanks. 

i been takin no xplode and cellmass for one week exactly


my bench went up 30lbs, I gained 6 lbs, and My workouts are much better, plus im never sore, and I feel fine after lifting


I take no explode 30 mins prior, 2-3scoops, and one scoop of cellmass immediately after lifting, and one more scoop right b4 bed


it kept me up at night at first and i had to pee


but it says to take the cellmass after ur workout and 6 hours after that


so i work out late because of work and I want to take it as directed so I suck it up and lose sleep over it



but the results are staggering


Im 6'3 184lbs


I was benchin 115 for 12 reps for like 3-4 weeks str8


today I put up 165 for 8 reps....



incline AND decline...

I just started to take all 3 supplements of the the Mass stack. I weigh 220, and im 6'0 tall, I will keep posting my improvements but as of now i bench 220, squat 380.

Also does ne one think i shud see a physician about all the stuff i take, im just takibng the full mass stack, is it nessecary, will i be OK with my health and all?

that's a tricky one...as long as you are currently working out and you are healthy enough to do so then you shouldn't have any problems...but you shouldn't just jump right into any supplement...my suggestion is that you ease into it to test your bodies tolerances...usually 1/3 of the recommended dosage is a good place to start...every couple of days gradually increase your dosages if you are not having any side effects until you are on the full dosage
 
quick warning though...if you haven't been working out regularly for a while or if your workouts are sporadic at best then you will just be wasting your money and if you're gonna do that then just write me a check and get it over with...secondly, if you are experiencing side effects stop taking the supplements!!! (That should be a no brainer.)
 
If any problems occur see a doctor other than that you should be okay...(p.s. I'm not a doctor---I speak from personal experience.)
 
How old are you? That could also be a factor...if you are just a kid (no offense meant if you are) then your hormones are raging and that's really all you need until your body grows into itself...I always say supplementation should be used sparringly at best until you are at least 18...hope this helps
 
(I'm currently stacking cellmass NO-Xplod and Axis---feels good---feels damn good!!!)

Do you benefit more from taking Nitrix No Xplode and Cell Mass together or by takin them all diminish the effects and should you take No Xplode and Cell Mass before or after your worhkout. Thx

Nitrix - 3 pills - 3 times a day.  Wake - mid day - sleep
No-X - 45 minutes before workout
Cellmass - after workout

Can anyone set me up with a schedule for BSN mass stack that i can use for a 2:30 weight lifting class?

ummm...sure...read the directions and follow them...not trying to come off as a smartass but the previous post from Misanthropy gave the exact directions the bottle gives...there is no magical order or specific way to take them other than what is on the bottle...
 
Nitrix- 3 pills 3 times a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner usually)
NO-Xplode- 30-45 min prior to workout (1-3 scoops...2 usually does the trick)
Cell Mass- post workout
 
once again, not trying to be a smartass but it's pretty cut and dry.

Hey Everyone iv been on the combo for about 4 days now and im already experencing some gains . . . mostly strength right now bout starting to see some visuals ( veins, lil bigger)

one more thing, is it bad that b4 my workout i take my nitrix and wash it down with my no xplode, is that kinda like mixing them, is that bad.?

FIrst off, I would like to say that this Review has helped a ton and was exactly what I was looking for!  Thank you for taking the time to post all this information and continue to post it even when it seemed like no one was reading. Again, it has been a huge help!
 
I was curious though, and in all seriousness, did taking any of these (the Nitrix in particular) produce any sexual side-effects?  Increase in desire? Increase in size? etc?
 
Thanks Again

After taking this stack for a month I have to say it wasnt that great


It worked for like 2 weeks, then I completely plateaued and after the 2 weeks i felt like I was going backwards, and the pumps from the NOXplode was terrible after that



Waste of money


I dieted right and trained right too

I didn't consider sexual side effects when taking Nitrix, although without even thinking of why, my gf really really is noticing some differences - for the better!  ...I keep her in the dark about supplements so she doesn't know why all of a sudden it's a lot better, but now I know her comments must be linked to the effects of Nitrix...it is a muscle down there you know, so why wouldn't it be affected?? :)

Nice post about the GF, lol, I started with the NoXplode, realized how well it worked for me, bought the cell mass been using it for about a week. Now I have the full mass stack, NOX, Cell Mass, Nitrix, I freaking love it, gains are amazing and so it the definition in my body, I have pictures in the cretique me section if you wish to have a look. I freakin love BSN, also at www.massnutrition.com you can get the full stack for about $150, so its not too bad. I live in Tampa, and got my stuff the next day for $10 shipping.

can you have caffeine when your taking no-xplode and cellmass?

I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE NO-XPLODE AND I HAVE GOT TO SAY THAT THIS STUFF IS THE REAL DEAL IT MAKES ALL OF THE THE OTHER SUPPLEMENTS I HAVE TAKEN LOOK LIKE CRAP MAN I TOOK IT FOR 4 WEEKS THEN I MAX OUT ON BENCH I WENT FROM 235 TO 255 AND ON MY SQUATS FROM 335-360 THIS STUFF IS GOOD I WOULD RECOMEND IT TO ANYBODY AND TRUST ME U WILL START SEEING RERSULTS

I was a meager 6'2 and 170 lbs last summer.  I've gone through 2 full cycles (12 weeks on, 6 weeks off) and now weigh 201 lbs.  I took a bit more time off this time around and am getting ready to start a new cycle.

I also take the Axis HT in addition to the Cellmass, NO Xplode, and Nitrix.  Pricey, but very much worth the effort if you're like me and tried to gain weight in the past but just couldn't do it.  This was in addition to Champion Nutrition's Pure Whey protine.  You're supposed to keep the glutimine intake low, but this stuff tasted the best.

Good stuff, just follow the directions and stick to the plan - and feel free to push yourself at the gym, it's a helluva lot easier with NO Xplode than anything else I've ever tried, and getting results makes it a lot easier to stick to a schedule.  I found myself looking forward to the next workout, almost as a passion.  If I'm off the stuff?  Gym?  What gym.  Do it.

No side effects either, other than having to pee pretty soon after taking Nitrix, and needing to drink A LOT of water to stay properly hydrated.

Just my experience and 2 cents.

Oh yea, wouldn'd recommend any more caffeen.  The NO Xplode is nearly your max daily amount of caffeen at one shot.  No need.  Great way to wean yourself off coffee - I did and no headaches.  Just watch out if you stop taking the NO Xplode...  Ouch.

Right now I am taking the BSN stack (NO-Explode,CellMass,Nitrix). I was just wondering if I should take these supplements like an hour before I eat, or an hour after I eat. It says to take on an empty stomach just not sure if having food in before or after will diminsh the effects. Having lots of problems finding an awnser to this question. Thanks

Here's my schedule:
 
6:00 Wake Up - Protine Shake
 
6:45  3 x Nitrix and 2 1/2 scoops NO Xplode
 
7:15 - 8:30 Workout
 
8:30 1 Scoop Cellmass
 
9:15 2 Eggs and Protine Shake
 
10:30 3 x Nitrix
 
12:00 Lunch
 
15:30 Protine Shake
 
16:30 3 x Nitrix
 
17:30 Dinner
 
20:30 Protine Shake
 
21:30 1 Scoop Cellmass
 
22:00 Bed
 
Take your Nitrix with the NO Xplode 30 minutes before working out and at least 45 minutes after eating or a protine shake.  You'll get a great rush when the caffeen hits, and the benefits of the NO and other suppliments throughout the workout.  Take Nitrix at least 45 minutes before meals.  Take the CellMass right after working out and then don't eat for at least 45 minutes, and then again before bed.  Having the creatine and protine available to your muscles during recovery is very important.  Don't workout every day, no more than every other day.  I alternate 3 times, then 2 days off (helps to change up my weekly routine being on an 8 day cycle but I find different days I need to adjust my routine around other regulars who stick to a fixed weekly schedule and hog the equipment - weekends are the worst).  Early on I tired every other day for a about 3 weeks, but found that I wasn't recoverying and making gains as I expected.
 
Don't worry about drinking water when taking the stuff, all of the suppliments recommend drinking lots of water - the Nitrix alone recommends 128 oz of water per day.
 
I've done a lot of reading on the BSN website - www.bsnonline.com.  They've chaned the site quite a bit over the last year and a half and it's kinda hard to find info.  They had a pro's schedule up for a while, which is what I got started from then modified it to work my schedule and preferences.

I have a few questions... I just got done with my first tub of NOXplode and loved it.  I just ordered the mass stack and was wondering a couple of things...  For the Cell mass is it necessary to take a scoop before bed?... Sometimes I think BSN puts these extra dosages just so you run out faster.  For instance they say to take a scoop of NOXplode on non training days and I never do that.  Also, lately I have been working out every day and plan to keep doing it with the mass stack.  The last post you said that with creatine you really need to let your muscles rest and take a day off inbetween.  Im not much of an expert on bodybuilding I just wanna bulk up.  I'm 18 years old and feel fine the next day on supplements, would it be better to take a day off?  (im mixing it up and doing different lifts the day after but some target the same muscles)

I've heard and read a few things on the intake of creatine, read a few studies and such.  You want to maintain the level of creatine in your system while in a workout routine.  'Loading' is typical of single component creatine compounds, but with all of them it's important to keep a level of saturation.  At night when you muscles are repairing, you want this available to them.  I've interpreted that one scoop isn't enough to maintain the level in your system for 24 hours as it isn't injested as a time-release substance (and given how much water you're supposed to be drinking), so at night the level of available creatine has dropped.  True?  BS?  I want max gains, so I'll opt for the second scoop and put some faith on it.
 
Another thing I've heard from my old PT - creatine allows your muscles to "store water", and thus appear larger and look "plump" rather than cut and hard.  True?  With the size of the creatine market, I find that a bit hard to believe that creatine has no benefits other than this.  Lots of studies show it is benefical, and I have to agree based on my own experiences.  Maybe it does "plump" them up, but it looks damn good to me!
 
As for the NO Xplode on a non-training day - I think it's more to keep a migrane away by not getting that surge of caffeen.  You do get adidtional creatine with the NO Xplode, but is it worth it?  I'm leaning towards 'no big deal' on this one.  Never workout without it, otherwise...?  Your call and intuition on that one.  I took it just to keep the headache away.  Maybe someone else has something to add on this.
 
For resting periods, once you start to lift heavy - and you will - you need to give your muscles that rest period.  I'm talking when you break 350 on the squat rack or 250 on the bench.  At first, you're really not pushing that much and you're doing more toning than building, but as you start burning-out with heavy weight at each workout, that rest time will become critical to allowing you to heal and make the gains in strength and size you want.  Some recommend giving it 2 days rest between working the same set of muscles.
 
Not that I will get anything for this, but I purchase from www.cheapvitamins.com.  Did lots of comparison shopping, and they've been the cheapest nearly every time.  Tried www.affordablesuppliments.com - decent prices, but still not as cheap.  GNC was by far the most expensive - next to ordering right from BSN.  Up here in Washington state, Vitamin World is the cheapest retail store I've found, but www.cheapvitamins.com is still the best price even with shipping - and never had an issue with old or out-of-date product.

Thanks a lot Mattk, very helpful post.  I guess this is really the first intense workout regimine ive been on so it has felt a lot easier the next day on my body .. When I feel I need that day off I'll take it.  After researching the effects of creatine on the body that dose at night does seem like the smart way to go.. So we'll see how it works.. cant wait to get on the stack!

I am about to run out of my first tub of NO-Xplode.  I am planning on stacking cellmass and NO next time around.  I was just wondering if on non-training days i can take the NO and cellmass together when I wake up or do they have to be taken at different times?

Thanks,

Andy

I just ordered a stack of NItrix, Axis HT, NO Xplode, and Cell mass. Waiting for that to come in. Has anyone stacked these yet? If so did it work awesome? Also Ive been on NO-Xplode for 5 days now, first day I was so jacked up but everyday after I dont feel anything. I wonder whats going on.
