Took my first dose tonight. I will admit, I was/am skeptical, but bought two bottles anyway since I felt the price was good enough to give it a shot. I have had decent results w/ USP Labs so far, but nothing spectacular. I bet they would be better if I stuck to a diet plan more consistantly.
Anyway, I was skeptical as I don't respond well to stims. I drink coffee in the AM, but only b/c the heat wakes me up. I am tired again by the time I get to work. I have fallen asleep at my desk halfway through a can of Monster. I can go to sleep w/in a couple of hours of NO Explode, and have been able to since it was first introduced. I am prescribed for Aderol, and a 20mg wears off within 3 hours it seems. High-carb meals put me to sleep w/in 30 minutes of finishing. I have no idea what is going on inside my body, but it definitely isn't normal.
That said, I took my first dose (1 pill) when I got home from work at 6:30. Wasted some time, drank some water w/ about 10-15g of BCAA's in it, then started my workout. I blasted through it w/ incredible energy. I even rode the bike at a medium pace in between sets to keep my heart rate up. Finished off w/ a 5-6 minute medium pedal on the bike at the end. I other than the pump in my arms and back from my workout, I feel better than I normally do BEFORE my workouts when I get home in the evenings. In fact, I'm a little worried that I wont be able to go to sleep at a decent hour tonight. Usually, the 45 minute, idiot-infested drive home (after a day of sitting in front of a computer almost all day) has me exhausted and want to do nothing more than crawl in bed for the rest of the night. My workouts have SUCKED the last few weeks.
I'm really hoping this continues to work for me, b/c I haven't been worth a **** in the gym since I graduated from college 2 years ago. It's been a struggle to keep from losing too much strength, let alone gain! This is honestly the FIRST review I've ever written. Hopefully it isn't placebo!
