N.O. Xplode while cutting?

**falconfootball** · January 15th, 2008, 09:08 PM

So I've began my cutting season. My diet is proven, training and cardio program is up to par, but I'm not sure about using NO Xplode. There are only 60 cals (2 scoops, 30 each), 14 carbs (7 each scoop) and some added vitamins.

I know the creatine will add a small bloat, but I would like to maintain as much muscle and keep from being in a catabolic state with th reduced caloric intake and upped cardio

What do you guys think? Would you use this supp while cutting?

i have used it during my cutting cycle and had no issues with it. i got a great pump from it too! i am using it now with my new cycle that is posted in the "new cycle " thread by forbb

I would take it with BCAAs before doing cardio. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but here's how I'd justify it:
- In theory, the vaso effects and additional cell volume should help force the BCAA supplement into your muscles better.
- The caffeine should allow you do perform greater intensity cardio. If you can do one or two more intervals (or equivalent for the type of cardio), the immediate and prolonged calorie burn should be enough to mitigate the additional 60 calories, at the minimum.

I typically take a scoop or two of equivalent product SuperPump250 before doing intervals on the treadmill or sprints in the pool on cardio days. Sometimes, when I don't mind the extra sugar (lifting days), I'll grab a Hulk Hogan energy drink, lol! So far, so good.

I forgot to mention I'm also running a ECA stack

which ECA stack do you prefer? i use the n.o. b4 my workout and i usually last longer...

ephedrine HCL- 50 mgs
No Doz- 200 mg's
Aspirin- 325 mg (may cut this in half)

I have taken No Explode while cutting, and it gives me that extra boost, and my cardio sessions did last a little longer. However, I did try it with an E/C/A stack and it did make my head feel dizzy (head rush), but everyone's physical make up is different. I have found now that I will only use No Explode while bulking up, and not for cutting. Again, this is just my personal opinion/ experience.

i commonly use this stack in my cuts also. works good for me.

yeah 60 cals is really negligible and the fact that the pump encourages you to work out harder while cutting (and therefore with a little less energy) then you will easily burn those 60 cals off plus more!

I get more of a workout boost from the ECA stack. Plus it's a well known thermogenic, and fat burner, without the added cals

60 cals x 6 times a week= 360 cals
360 cals a week x 4 (one month) =1440 cals

so less than a 1/2 lb a month isn't bad
