getting pumped with NOxygen

[cumminslifter]

wanna give a huge shoutout to the guys at purus labs for giving me the chance to log their new non stim product "NOxygen"
the profile on this is very interesting to me. It contains some stuff i have never supplemented with before. so ready to get this started. i have squats today so we will see how it goes. Im currently on my first week of my second cycle of 5/3/1
usually i dont take pump products on leg days because it just gets in the way of training but i HAVE to try this stuff.
will update one i get back

welcome good sir, about ready to head to the gym right now

 

[raz_kaz248]

seconded....love me some good pump products and looking forwards to your review for this one

 

[Quads_of_Stee]

In the low rep ranges don't expect too much of a pump but rather quicker recovery. On my power days when I do sets of 2, 3, or 2+ I notice more of a quicker recovery than a pump

 

[cumminslifter]

just got back from the gym, update coming soon

 

[cumminslifter]

alright fellas, i had my 5/3/1 squat day and went very well. for some reason i was feeling extra worn out when doing squats, i just didnt have the motivation. but once i got to my higher rep accessory work i got into it.
here are my squat numbers for today
255x5
275x5
295x6
all with about 2 min rest inbetween
after that i put on 225 and did 3 sets of 10, you are suppose to do 5 sets on this program but i was just not feeling it so i only did 3.
i then went on to:
leg curls- 4x10
supperset with seated calf raises
legpress- 2x12
suppersetted with seated calf raises
back hypers- 3x12-15
supperseted with adductor machine for 3 sets of 10-15
i then finished off with 3 sets of leg extensions for 10-15 reps
i did feel more of a pump in my legs and my calves during this workout. those 10 rep squats were just too much but i loved the burn/pump i had when doing lying leg curls and extensions.
snapped this pic on my second set. its a horrible pic, dude kept starring me down so i snapped it quick like, in person it looked ALOT better haha

alright, had upper body today, i threw two scoops into some water and headed to the gym. i drank it about 20-25min pre workout and headed to the powerrack to do some overhead press.
this was my routine today OHP- 95x5, 105x5, 115x8 (idk why the template had these so light) then i did 3x10 @95lbs (routine had me doing 85lb)
i suppersetted widegrip pullups with OHP for 5 sets
seated row- 4x10-12
dips- +25lb 3x8-10
straight arm pulldown- 3x12-15
suppersetted with chest flys 3x8-12
reverse fly- 3x8-13
one arm underhand tricep ext.- 2x10-12
overhead curl machine- 2x9-12
supperset preacher curl with rope pushdown for 2 sets of 10-12 with a triple drop set on the last set of each.
shoulders and arms were feeling pumped up. i felt the lat contraction alot better than i really EVER had when doing pullups.
idkif it was from the noxygen or if i did the movement slightly different but it felt good. is this better taken on an empty stomach or with food? i wouldnt think it would matter but thought i would ask. has anyone ever gone over 2 scoops?

 

[Quads_of_Stee]

I've gone over 2 soops. 1scoop d-pol in morning upon waking, then preworkout 2scoops noxygen + 1 scoop condense. Very vascular and amazing blood flow. I notice that it affects my vascularity more than pumps and I'm already prone to be vascular so it really enhances it

might try 3 scoops next upper body day

 

[Danb2285]

I notice pumps are better if I eat about 30 mins prior to taking.

What are you using preworkout with this anything ?

 

[cumminslifter]

varies everyday, i dont take a pre workout most days, only when i need it

 

[cumminslifter]

wow, i had an incredibly exhausting deadlift day today. i dont know why i was so dead through the whole thing but i loved it. i wanted to keep going but my body just would not let me. i pushed myself to the max for real. took 2 scoops pre workout today

deadlift- 315x3 335x3 345x5 then i did 3x12 @225
suppersetted calves in-between sets^
sumo dead- 225 2x9
leg press- 3x15
glute ham raise- 3x6-8
rest pause set on leg press for one set to really kill the quads
SLDL- 2x6 @225 (can usually do 10 reps with this. thats how exhausted i was)
20 yard lunges, down and back twice.
i was literally drenched in sweat when i was done and throughout the whole workout. im ready to just go to sleep now. i noticed one thing i havent seen in a LOOONG time. when i was doing lunges at the end i could see the veins popping in my quads! very cool

 

[AaronJP1]

Word glad the product shows ya some effects!

 

[cumminslifter]

had a pretty nice upperbody day session. pumps were noticeably better, last two sessions i drank about 15-20min pre instead of 30 min. i think im going to drink about half of it 15min before i lift and sip on it throughout the beginning of my workout and finish it within the first 5 sets or so to see if it helps any.
snapped this pick after 2 sets of bench, just looked down and noticed my forearms bulging.

 

[raz_kaz248]

bench day for me as well...wish I had veins lol

good work, are you taking anything else with this?

 

[Quads_of_Stee]

damn son you pale! LOL i'm just as pale but it makes my vascularity look worse because of how white I am

 

[Danb2285]

Nice veinage you got going there!

 

[cumminslifter]

damn son you pale! LOL i'm just as pale but it makes my vascularity look worse because of how white I am

well i am white, its the underside of my arm, and i live in iowa so its to be expected

bench day for me as well...wish I had veins lol

good work, are you taking anything else with this?

just two scoops of NOxygen, no other pre workout today. i actually dont take pre workouts that often

the pic doesnt look near as good as it did in real life. my phone is like 10 years old lol

 

[cumminslifter]

just got back from my killer upper body session, destroyed it today. felt real good going in. i took almost 3 scoops of NOxygen today just to see how i liked it. i waited till about 20min pre workout to start sipping on it and finished it a few minutes before i started.
i think this is the best dosing for it as it doesn't take long to get processed and this way it stays with you throughout the entire workout and doesn't "die off"
The vascularity i had even toward the end of my workout was awesome.
I didn't really notice the "pump" as much as i would of figured but my veins were just bulging. at the end of my workout i was doing concentration curls and notices a few veins on the inner side of my bicep that i have never seen pop out that much before. pretty cool
felt like i was looking bigger than normal in the gym, feeling good, so i snapped a few pics.

 

[raz_kaz248]

wtf time u train at that the gym is empty?

 

[cumminslifter]

wtf time u train at that the gym is empty?

always this empty. this is the gym at my base. train noon to 2 usually.

 

[AaronJP1]

3 scoops huh?
:bigok:

 

[cumminslifter]

3 scoops huh?
:bigok:

ya i think 3 scoops is my sweet spot, really loving the pump and endurance on upperbody days. i didnt take it my last leg day because i find the pump usually gets in the way of leg training. found a good dosing protocol as well

It works for ya then.

 

[cumminslifter]

yep, liking it so far. more updates to come. dont workout on wed. or weekends.

 

[cumminslifter]

upper body day today. For some reason i was tired as hell all day today. No reason for being so tired, got good sleep about 9 hours almost. i was just feeling beat up.
i threw in 2 scoops of NOxygen and headed to the gym. Once i was at the gym i started to feel a bit more motivated and ready to go.
i kept with my dosing protocol of starting to drink it about 10min before and finish it right when i start my first exercise. By this time i feel like its hitting the blood stream right at the right time when i start my isolation exercises toward the end of my workout. my shoulders were crazy pumped and burning from seated OHP like ive never felt before. it was painful, once i finished OHP i did some reverse flies then started doing arms. snapped this pic after a couple sets

 

[cumminslifter]

what up fellas. sorry for the none update. Work has been crazy, been going through military training until the 23rd so my updates are gonna be spiratical until then. today was the first time being able to use NOxygen since my last update.
took 2-3 scopps about 10-15 min pre workout and hit some arms and shoulders. I usually dont seperate these from my upperbody but as i said before my schedule got all messed up so i have to make some changes.
first off i hit up some OHP suppersetted with Pullups for 3 sets. didnt really notice much.
HOWEVER, once i got to shrugs, lateral raises, and tricep extension and curls my arms BLEW UP.
no joke, i dont remember the last time my arms were so crazy pumped and vascular. Dont get me wrong, i am naturally really vascular but i no joke impressed myself. Every single vein in my arms were bulging! I noticed quite a few people checking me out.
i really wish i coulda got a pic but i didnt have my phone and didnt wanna be "that guy" lol

 

[Danb2285]

Good stuff!

 

[cumminslifter]

just got back from another upperbody day. today i only took 1 scoop (to see if i could tell the difference)
i started getting into my routine. and after just a couple sets my veins were bulging.
I felt pretty big in the gym compared to everyone else. i could tell alot of people were looking at me(not exactly sure why) but i would like to think because i looked good lol
i could tell the difference between one and two scoops. i really love the pump even from one scoop. really opens up the blood vessels, but two scoops makes it painfully awesome

 

[cumminslifter]

what up fellas, got some bad news...im running pretty low on my NOxygen
gotta make the last few workouts count! took two scoops today about 15 min prior to training calfs, shoulders and arms. Once again the pump was awesome. You just instantly feel a pump without even touching a weight. i love it, snapped this pic at the beginning of training arms. the pic doesn't do it justice, in real life you can see all sorts of tiny little veins ALLLL over my arms. This is a NON FLEXING pic, just bent my arm to hold my phone still.

 

[Quads_of_Stee]

I have the same thing, vascularity that doesn't get captured by pics from my potatoe quality phone lol. Noxygen is a very good product for those tiny hidden veins

i know, it was awesome. just brings out the superficial veins

 

[luckylefty811]

I'm at a high bf and I still got the vein from my shoulder to my elbow to show that's impressive ! White pump nor hemavol could do that for me!

i bet if i drop down to 205 currently 215 i will look crazy. i only have used it a week and have better endurance already.

 

[Grambo]

I don't think I've had a bad workout on it yet. I feel stronger and more full. Mostly hyper hydration but it's a great feeling.

for sure, really like this stuff. i had a question though as to why you didnt include small amounts of vitamin C for the nitrates.

 

[Grambo]

Would change price point (not huge but every bit counts) as well as not being able to really be flavorless and in my opinion the actual 100% need for it with nitrates is somewhat overblown with acute doses. If customers are concerned vitamin c is super cheap.

seeing as how this product was made to be in addition to other things, almost every pre or "electrolyte" drink has vit c in em

i always thought it was good to supplement with around 50mg og vitamin C while dosing nitrates. Havent looked ALOT into it though.

good point^
