Taking the plunge on BSN Nitrix

Well folks, the time has come!

I've been holding off taking any NO supplements until now, because I wanted to make sure I had a fresh, clean slate with regards to vasodilation.  I've already got better than average vascularity, and I get some pretty sick pumps from my workouts, so I'm bringing Arginine into my supplement stack to see what an extra .0003% of badassness can do

I've been working toward this point for the past eight months.  I set out last August 1st with a promise to myself that I would not face one more summer as a 130 Lb toothpick.  With that decision made, I have spent 3/4 of a year beating the ever-lovin' tar out of my ectomorph genes and leaving them in a bleeding heap on the pavement.  Now that Spring has springificated, and it's time to bust those short-sleeve shirts out of storage, I'm going to treat myself to a little supplement boost.  BSN, I'm calling you OUT!

I'll say it straight up front: I don't expect Nitrix to live up to even a third of the hype that surrounds it, and by now you should all be familiar with my love of objectivity.  So if I start gushing about how much cooler than cool this stuff is, you can darn sure believe I ain't kidding.

 I'd have to say Nitrix is one of my favorite supps. It works really good, and gives an insain pump. remember to drink lots of water and follow the instructions on the back. Good luck.

its not a bad product.

Hey veggeep;
 
Since we all react differently to supps, Nitrix works well for some and not so well for others. Good luck with Nitrix. You may have better luck than some of us.  I took Nitrix for a few months but, really never felt any good pumps. I even stacked it with NO-X and still never had any good results.
 
Since then I’ve tried and have been using VNS-Jacked which is CEE/NO combination. That seemed to work for me but, then I added White Blood to the stack. I had this get up and go feeling, pumps were great and allowed for better intensity and endurance during my workout.
 
But again that’s me.
 
Peace

I was affected greatly right away by Nitrix.  My 1st 3 pills I took about 1 hour before my workout I felt my vessels kinda swelling.  Then when I worked out that day my bi's were incredible.  More indurence, stronger, I had to stop on heavier weight and more reps than I ever could have done becuase the pumps were so intense.  However towards the end of that month the effects werent as pronounced.  I still got great pumps, just nowhere near that intense.

Hhmmmm...  So this could be ballz diesel, or it could be another expensive fizzle?  HE he he he!  We shall see 

My latest shipment from SmartBody Nutrition just arrived -400 more grams of Glutamine (which I notice BSN says competes with Nitrix for absorption... interesting), and my long-anticipated Nitrix

Ever the one to err on the side of caution (and not wanting to spend the day driving the procelain bus for pounding a new substance without having any idea how I'll react to it), I'm starting off today with just three of these horse pills -one per recommended dosing interval.  BSN indicates on the label that it takes (for most people) up to 14 days to feel the full effects, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Today is upper-body day, and those weights are looking mighty tasty right about now.  That's not the Nitrix speaking -it probably just my tan.  I tell you, throwing a little color on that hide really brings out the definition... Dizzamn!  I'm going to have to work extra hard to pry myself away from the mirrors in my home gym, LOL

Ha ha ha ha!  Thanks!  That was the "easy" part, LOL   Unfortunately, I hit the wall about three months ago, and I've been struggling ever since.

I haven't gained diddly since February of this year

Oh well, that's how it goes in this game   Take stock, strategize, re-evaluate, act.

Glutamine interferes with a-akg (Nitrix) absorption.
That is why is topped taking l-glutamine when i started taking a-akg.

Interesting indeed.  I'm rather enamoured with my glutamine.  Is there any safe time to take it?  Usually, I hit the glutamine immediately before bed.

But the label on Nitrix only says "Do not take glutamine supplements and Nitrix at the same time... keep glutamine intake to less than 10g/day..."  In other words, you can still take glutamine, just not while the A-AKG is vying for absorption.

How long after the last hit of Nitrix -THAT'S the question.

Then, to make matters worse, it's all about "take on an empty stomach..."  Yeah, RIGHT!  When is THAT gonna happen during a bulking phase??

Don't consume a shake or supplement within 2 hours before or after nitrix,so substitute a good whole food protein,poultry,steak,etc..I take nitrix,as well as a whey with glutamine,but I take the shake,just before bed,with like some cottage cheese or some casien or slow acting protein,to hold me over till morning,nitrix works if u use it right

Cool i'm interested to see how all this turns out...keep us posted veg

I LOVE LEG DAY!!

no fools, listen
TAKE NITRIX 30 mins before breakfast.
and ~90 minutes before workout, 30 minutes before a usual creatine/pre-workout meal/shake.(this being 60 minutes preworkout)
 
IMO, glutamine is only needed when cutting to preserve the muscle mass.
