BSN NO -XPLODE 3.0 Review
My Review
I tried BSN's new pre-workout, BSN N.O.-XPLODE 3.0 for a month; courtesy of Predator Nutrition. Having been familiar with the previous product versions I had some high hopes for version 3.0. They claim that it "has been re-engineered to help you PUSH your workout beyond previous limits." which is a pretty big promise to make. The key differences is that they increased doses of some important ingredients, such as arginine and beta-alanine, but also added the hotly debated betaine to their product amongst other ingredients.
Starting off with the taste, I tried the watermelon flavour, which dissolved away within seconds of shaking, and drinking it was a treat. Initially, I was a little sceptical of the flavour having not tried any supplements before in such flavour, but I really did like it. And for the rest of the month, every time I drank it, it was something I enjoyed.
Within a couple of minutes you start to feel the effects, a bit of tingling from the upped-dose of beta-alanine but also an increase in your ability to focus at tastes on-hand. Whilst on BSN's N.O.-XPLODE I found that I was really able to push myself that little bit extra for the last reps. I was able to make heavier lifts and just felt more energised for the duration of the workout. The stimulants within really did work, and to a greater extent than I could've hoped for. I was impressed.
As per expected of N.O.-XPLODE I found that during my sessions I was significantly more vascular than without it. I had veins that were popping through my sleeves! Not many supplements can do that! And as time goes, you don't feel any of the typical "pre-workout crashes" but rather it weans off and brings you down gently to your baseline, without feeling tired.
So in summary, having used BSN N.O.-XPLODE 3.0 for a month, it really lived up to the expectations and delivered, an even better pre-workout in all regards: taste, effectiveness and value.
