Ok I'm going to seperate this review into a couple sections.
Taste: Personally, I liked the taste, but I am also partial to the "bite" that most energy supplements have in general. The No-Xplode was pretty sweet, but not overbearingly, I'd say it was similar to a more acidic red bull. But overall very potable.
Energy: Ok, this is where it got interesting. I am very insensitive to stimulants, of any kind, caffeine does nothing to me at all, no matter how much I swallow. 30 minutes after taking this stuff (i only took ONE serving, keep in mind), I did feel a decent energy burst, and in general felt inclined to clench my fists and subsequently go to the gym. Now, the problem was that once I was done with about, oh, 20 minutes of my work out, I felt normal again. Not worse or worn out, just normal. The rest of the workout was really, quite ordinary. HOWEVER, this may have been because my tolerence is quite high, I will have to try it again.
Strength/Vascularity: I did notice a slight increase in the weight and reps, but it was not abnormally so. I'd say, on average, maybe a 5% increase. My muscle, however, DID feel a little more "pumped" as if more blood and water was being retained, that I will vouch for. Over than that, not a huge difference.
Side Effects: I did notice any, really, i mean at times you feel a little stomache 'discomfort' but for me it was shortlived and had no really effect on my focus. Also, the acidity could, i imagine, give some people heartburn. But really, not a whole lot on the bad side. I did feel a little jiddery before hand but, hey, it's a stimulant.
OVERALL: In general I think that this product CAN work well, but if you are tolerent to stimulants, it MIGHT not be worth the high price to buy a huge tub. Feel free to sample it, if you like it, go ahead. For myself, I wasn't turned OFF by it but I wasn't really rushing to go buya tub.
