BSN N.O.-Xplode XE Pre-Workout Supplement with Caffeine, Beta-Alanine, and Energy, Flavor: Tropical Burst, 30 Servings

Amazing stuff! Really makes me feel focused in the gym. I think the strength of this stuff is in its cognitive enhancement, not so much in the pump or hype aspects. If that's your thing, give this a go. This product has a lot of bad reviews because it doesn't taste very good, and though I agree it doesn't taste good, I wouldn't say that it tastes awful, either. Give it a try, especially when there are coupon discounts. Great stuff. Will buy again.

I have tried several types of pre work out and this one is so smooth and tasty. I am a big girl (290ish) so I need the help getting my workout going. I use this for weight loss more than muscle gain. One drink helps boost my ability to last on the elliptical 6 times longer. When I started my workouts last month I could only stand to be on the elliptical at no resistance for about 5-7 minutes with out feeling like I was going to fall off. Now I can do 30-60 minutes at resistance 4-8 and feel great once my set is done. I really thing this product has helped me in my workout goals!!

The only reason this review is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is the taste. It wasn't chalky like some other preworkouts; instead it was a bit fizzy and tasted like a cross between cough syrup and pink Jolly Ranchers (I bought Tropical Punch flavor). The taste is a bit sharp too, so you end up shooting it and making a face afterward like you would taking a shot of bad vodka. However, just like alcohol, taking the shot is totally worth it. The pump I got from this was great. 20 minutes after taking it, and I felt like I was ready to crush my workout. I did a bit of kickboxing to see how I could handle cardio with the pre workout, and my heart rate stayed in a good zone. No crazy beating out of my chest feeling. I powered through leg day afterwards with great energy. I didn't have a crash afterwards. Although the taste was terrible compared to my last pre workout brand, I felt that the results were good enough to warrant not switching back.

This stuff should be illegal. I usually demand a lot from my preworkout. My body usually builds up a tolerance fairly fast and they are rendered ineffective after a few days. HOWEVER, WITH THIS STUFF. First of all the flavor of this one is HORRIBLE. Tastes like sweet chalk. But the product itself made me feel like someone had taken a set a jumper cables and connected them to my HEART. I hit the gym daily after work at around 5:45. I could barely attempt to do my workout. My heart felt as though it was beating in the back of my THROAT. Absolutely no focus whatsoever, no pump no nothing. Just the fear of the next rep may be my last. This crap is like liquid crystal meth. To top it off, I couldn't sleep until 3 a.m. Needless to say this crap got flushed down the toilet.

I've used many pre-workouts over the years, and this one is my new favorite! 325mg of caffeine which is perfect for my early morning workouts. It has Beta-Alanine so I feel tingly, but it's not overwhelming. Probably the two best parts for me is that it kicks in fast (about 15 minutes vs. typical 30 minutes) and I feel focused throughout my entire workout. I never knew a pre-workout could make me so energized and so focused at the same time. Tropical Burst flavor was awesome...different than a lot of the traditional flavors you find in pre-workout products.

it taste like s*** 💩💩💩💩💩Update:second day in... I think the product is expired, the taste keeps getting worst

Good product for lifting, but NOT intensive cardio. I understand this product is sold as a pre-workout supplement, so I thought before my kickboxing class to try a little to help me get going quicker. This was a very bad idea (even at the 1/2 dosage) because once my heart rate was elevated, I could not get it to regulate or come back down. I am in very good shape and have had no issues with this product as a supplement I use prior to lifting weights or even moderate speed running, but personally I would never take this again when doing anything revolving around intensive cardio. I have found that taking this about 10 minutes prior to working out, then doing some light running to get my heart rate up is a perfect start then I transition to my weight regime for the day. Helps keep me focused and energized throughout.I realize that everyone's body can react differently to pre-workouts and supplements, so definitely ease into a product like this and do not overdo it thinking it will make you Superman.Flavor of product is okay, but since it is something you are in-taking quickly, that doesn't bother me too much. Tastes kind of like a powdery green apple Jolly Rancher.

Highly recommend you try this new pre-workout. I have tried a bunch of other supplements from different companies, but this is by far the best I've ever. You can feel it kick in almost immediately - no long wait time like some other stuff I've wasted my money on before, or wondering if it's actually working. Feel like I get a better pump and more sets in without hitting the wall. Tried the Tropical burst flavor too which is great by itself or works well with any of aminos out there.
