go with some plain CEE from customnutritionwarehouse or nutraplanet. whey protein is good, fish oil is good too. can't forget about your whole foods though!
if you need stims try some caffeine pre-workout or even some AMP before a game (never tried AMP, but people love it)

OKAY.....NOxplode is great. I know there are some nay sayers but if they have ever taken the max dosage recommended this def no placebo. Any creatine of any kind can predispose you to cramps so in the gym it will def. help but on the field its probably not the best idea. When I played college ball I learned that the hard way. Cramp followed by a pulled hammy followed by missing 3 games....just my .02.

Forget any NOS products in my opinion, they give you dihorreah and little else.
Some say you get a 'pump", well, so what! I get that lifting weights don't you?
Read the following summary on NOS:
Summary
• Arginine blood flow stimulators ("nitric-oxide" or "NO2" supplements) have been shown to increase vasodilation, but only in unfed people receiving enormous doses through an IV.
• Oral arginine supplementation doesn't affect blood flow.
• A dose as low as 10 grams has been associated with gastric upset when consumed orally. This dose has no significant effect on glycogen storage, even if it didn't cause diarrhea.
• Time release arginine is supposed to lead to a "perpetual pump" effect. New studies have shown this not to be the case.
• NO2 was shown to have no effect compared to a placebo on body composition or muscle strength.
• It's not possible for us to consume high enough levels of arginine to effectively increase nitric oxide levels.
• Copycat NO2 products are no better than the original supplement. In fact, those that contain glycocyamine should be avoided because of potential health concerns.
• If you think these products work for you, then you'd better look into the placebo effect.
• Arginine might temporarily elevate growth hormone levels, but only if you're able to take unrealistic doses. There's little evidence to support that this short term increase in GH would do anything for your physique anyway.
• In one study, arginine aspartate was shown to increase prolactin by an average of 75%. Prolactin is associated with decreased Testosterone levels.
• Five grams of arginine consumed during resistance exercise was shown to decrease normal exercise-induced GH output.
• The positive benefits of oral arginine supplementation can only be achieved through doses higher than the human body can handle. And most (but not all) of this effect is mediated by insulin. So if you want to have blood flow increases equivalent to a huge IV arginine infusion, just manipulate insulin through other means
I realise some people don't like articles from t- nation but it is a balance to all the NOS hype.

You're way ahead of me, I hadn't looked at that implication.
I have just found this supp to be useless for me and found one resource that seems to agree..I don't claim it is definitive but I am wary of rip - offs.
You probably remember all the people who got great results from liquid creatine...... until it was categorically proven it is a useless product. Company hype leads to rave reviews from users which leads to profits to the company. And then when the evidence comes in ..... they all run and hide. i use heaps of different supp, I am just wary of the rip - offs.
BTW anyone who quotes Lao Tzu already impresses the crap out of me. The Tao Te ching. cool as

I took 3 scoops on an empty stomach and did not get any more focused for my workout. I think that there are 30 servings in a container so that is about 10-12 days of supps for about 30$! There are much more cost effective supps that provide the same results. Remember what happens for you does not happen for all. That is why I said "placebo I think":nutkick:

I personally responded very well to No-Explode. My little (huge) brother made my first cocktail of it for me, I think he used two scoops. I wouldn't talk to anybody in the gym for about an hour. I was that jacked. The pumps for me were Ok. But the focus/speed effect were very noticable.
I give it 3 out of 4 stars with return customer.

:rofl: haha what a choad...
alot of talk from someone who has a pic of a fictional cartoon character...haha, but yeah, i'm guilty, take it as well. as far as the "focus/mental change" you get when taking it. I call BS on that but thats just me. i feel the same everyone's diff tho. seem to get better pumps and increased vascularity. and i guess that works for me. as long as my muscles are being flooded with protein and nutrients it's all good IMO...
:rofl: haha, still laughing at "fat and skinny at the same time, don't know how" what a dumbass...

I myself do think that it is a good product. At the same time unless you know of a source where it is cheaper then 30 bucks then it is not worth it. Just my 2 cents, but I am not going to call everyone who claims they love a stupid ass and how fat they are. That is just stupid.

I think that it is o k it gives u pumps, extra energy, focus and if u can find it for like $30 no more then i would say to go for it
it is not a placebo cause i used it for the hurricane down here in florida and i took it as soon as i got home(3:00pm)and i was picking up heavy weights for the next 4 or 5 hours around the yard for the hurricane not weights
i took like 3 scoops nun the less it still worked so it is not a placebo effect
if u tryed 1 and nothing happened then try 2

i am a big fan of noxplode, it is possible that it is a placebo because placebo can be very strong as i am sure some people here have felt it at some point in their lives, but I keep hearing that their are cheaper alternatives out there...what would you guys recommend? Also, does anyone think the so called "mental focus" that you can feel after you take it is just the 300mgs of caf that is in the maximum dose? I have read in multile instances that caf can add to a persons ability to concentrate (in fact i think its great when i gotta study for chem exams) So maybe just taken some good old caff preworkout could give a similar boost and be a hell of a lot cheaper...

Mindgames, I've been saying that since day 1 with these products.
Arginine is a precursor to lots of things...creatine included. Why would it just make more NO?
People that take nitroglycerin get bad headaches, nausea, drops in blood pressure...why don't people using NO products get these symptoms.
People taking these products hear: NO products give you a pump via vasodilation and report better pumpts. Why don't they report the other symptoms seen with perscription vasodilators like orthostatic hypotension, increased heart rates, etc....
As far as NO explode...its got creatine and caffeine and people say it makes them bigger and mentally charged...is that really anything new and revolutionary?

I will never ever recommend creatine to an athlete that has to train in the high heats of summer.. That is death staring you in the eyes.. Dehydration is way to common with this stuff during 2 a days, especially when water breaks aer not given enough.. Skip the creatine during spring and summer camps.. Go with Amino acids or BCAA's...CACKS said:

I'm going to guess you are around my age 16-20?
I played running back In my Sophmore through Junior year becoming a Varsity starter my Sophmore year.
I always was the bigger guy but im quick as hell. I was 190 about the same height 5'10. I ran the 40 in 4.4.
Anyways, I took my pre-workout, my creatine, fish oils, bcaa's, I ate like a monster, I had my cool Animal Pak, and i was unstopable. The Brandon Jacobs of high school football Lol.
