Nitric Oxide

Hey,I just reacently heard about taking Nitric oxide Supplements and i was just wondering what NO does to help your muscles out and how it does it?

Take L-arginine(NO) in cap form prior to bedtime. Promotes release of natural growth hormone. Supplementing with it prior to exercise is actually detrimental.

Current Supplements: Multi-Vitamin, Calcium, Vitamin C
Current Cycle: Cross Country Season

If I'm right I think you're referring to products like N.O. Xplode right? If you are  then I would tell you I've had nothing but good experience with that product, although its pricey. Its basically a big caffeine rush and it helps to keep you mentally focused on your workout. if you're one of those people who is easily distracted or has days where they don't feel they are getting the most out of their time at the gym then I would suggest this. I take it and I feel a lot better about my effort at the gym afterwards.

How is it bad to supplement it prior to exercise?  All NO supplements are pre-workout supps.

In other posts you recommend NO supplements for pre-workout.

Dan Mirage posted on this subject,and apparently Nitric Oxide
(L-Arginine ) has been
found to inhibit growth hormone production if taken within 4 hours of exercise.

DO NOT TAKE ARGANINE WITHIN 4 HOURS OF YOUR TRAINING!

Use it before bed!  (Not NO's with astimulants though!)

L-Arganine (the main constituent of your NO) supresses the growth hormone spike you should get from just good hard training!

That is the latest real research on it.  No BS.

Effect on Growth hormones of pre or post workout arganine:
Just training Gives the highest
Just arganine gives the next highest
Arganine + training gives the lowest

Apparently the body has a feedback loop so it will take only 1 GH spiking event and the next event causes a negative feedback.

Training alone causes the highest spike!

L-Arganine before bed will give you all the NO benefits you want for the next day+

Most NOs on the market are really too low in dose (4-6 grams L-Arganine) to obtain the proper training effect, they are mostly stimulants (caffeine) and really, that is not what you want when bulking!  Even though it feels good, it is counter productive for optimal growth!

Save the stims for the cutting when you will really want them!

Hey, thanks for all the info guys
i think im gonna go out and buy N.O. Xplode and see how it works out for me  

I know about the Dan Mirage NO supp thing....Now heres the thing....NO supps deliver a pump with nutrients flowing to the muscle and blowing it up....Let's say your doing bi's and you take a NO supp and your bi's are pumped as hell. Now how is this not muscle not growing?? No disrespect to Dan Mirage but I mean he posts one thing and everyone jumps on his d*ck and believes it with no further information. I dont mean to be rude but I had to get it off my chest.

No one said you wouldn't get a pump,or that your muscle is not growing(BTW A"Pump" has nothing to do with "growing" your muscle,it's simply lactic acid buildup,being forced into the muscle.)Oh yeah,Muscle does not grow during exercise but during recovery.

No disrespect to Dan Mirage but I mean he posts one thing and everyone jumps on his d*ck and believes it with no further information. I dont mean to be rude but I had to get it off my chest. 

No disrespect??????
that statement was ALL ABOUT DISRESPECT.....JEEZ...Did you even bother to click on the link I posted and read the original thread????
Obviously not....

Dan Mirage is a legend here and you'd do well to read anything and everything he's posted lately!
He knows his SH!T!  He works in the industry, and will forget more about sports nutrition,supplementation and bodybuilding than you and I will ever learn!

Take advantage of the opportunity to pick his brain when given a chance...instead of ridiculing and second guessing his knowledge!
