nitric oxide advice please

[amkitch43]

which nitric oxide products should i look for that are high quality and aren't too expensive?

[Swizz77]

I train in Mixed Martial Arts and like the line by Brawl Nutrition(http://www.brawlnutrition.com). It's moderately priced and does what it says. I was also impressed by na NOX9 by MuscleTech (http://www.muscletech.com). It's a little more pricey but I could feel the effect pretty nicely. Some of the powders were too rancid for me, and expensive, so I stick with the pills. I hope this helps!

spend your money on super pump 250 i have tried a few different ones but that IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN.

[Swizz77]

I found Superpump 250 didn't mix well. It did, however, taste much better than other popular brands. Be mindful, Superpump has some pretty powerful stimulants in it too, so caffeine sensitive people might not like it. Otherwise, it performs well.

If you can, get an Arginine with a Ketoglutarate form. You'll get more benefits than just NO production.

Depends though on your current past haistory. If you're only a recent novice at lifting, you might be wiser to make sure diet and training are solid first, for a while. If you're a year or two down the line then perhaps you could use something.

NO products are a complete rip-off! In order for arginine to be even slightly effective it would have to be taken at extremely high doses.

Yes, studies were done to back this up.

[Boss Man]

You'll note I'm talking the Ketaglutarate kind, which is considered more efficient than a basic Arginine.

No trying to sound nouty by that remark.

[swanso5]

don't bother with any of them

get some amino acid tablets instead if anything

Well yes you will, because you can't sustain a pump forever

He presumably knew this, before the person who sold him his first tub, may have said otherwise .

[Boss Man]

I'm just imagining you deflating.

Just standing in the street going thrrrrthrrrrthrrrrthrrrrrthrrrrr.

Are you alright dear?

Yes Maam, I'm just deflating

[swanso5]

why does he still have so much if it works miracles?

[lens_d]

You guys all diss the NO but none of you have even tried it. It does work no question about it! If it was cheaper I would use it before every workout.

[Boss Man]

Yes, but the eveidence is out there, somewhere on the internet, to sustain a motion of no confidence in NO.

NO is not 100% rubbish, but whatever it does do, probably isn't worth the money, and big Pumps don't equate to big gains. Enhanced inflation and blood flow into muscles you train, and possibly increased re-oxygenation times, allowing for slightly smaller rest periods between sets, may slightly increase potential Microtear levels, but NO is not really Anabolic, it's not what you could call a Protein synthesiser, and it doesn't really induce more GH production, either by Pituitary or Hypothalamic stimulation, nor does it necessarily stimulate highly elevated Test levels, or boost Protein or BCAA synthesis, by creating significant Insulin spikes.

I'm 99.99% certain it doesn't do any of those things, either to any tangible level, or even at all.

Something like an Arginine in the Ketglutarate form, not just bog standard, would create some NO production, and increase things like Wound healing, and other benefits Arginine gives you.

You might get better results eating some Peanuts, about 30-60 minutes before training, as Peanuts are apprently quite Arginine rich, and the Fatty Acids, Potential Zinc and any Vit E, would positively interact with your body, in relation to Test and GH production.

i have tried it, straight arginine in it's simplest form yrs ago

[lens_d]

Well the science aside. I have tried it and I know what it does. Perhaps it has something to do with the stimulants in it I’m not sure. I do know it gives me a profound sense of energy like nothing else I have ever tried. It also gives me a feeling like I want to pick up a truck, smash head through a wall or bend barbells in half. It revs me up like crazy. It’s hard to explain. I know for a fact I can pump more weight and pump out more reps after I drink some. So if I can train harder with way more intensity won't that lead to bigger gains?

I am no supplement rep I am just speaking from experience. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way about NO products. I have had lots of friends try it with the same results as me most people love it. Some say it does nothing.

What can I say I guess seeing is believing
