Supp to cause pumps

[Clubber Lang]

Anyone ever use this product:

Is it good for muscle pumps in the gym? Is it good to get muscle hardness?

How should you take this? I was planning on drinking one bottle about 15 minutes before my first set and I won't be taking it days I don't lift.

I have never taken anything like that but just bought a bottle of NOX2 from PNP. I will starting it tomorrow. I would try it, what do you have to lose? It is worth a shot, even if it is mental, maybe you will have a little better workout.

I would take it 15 minutes before WO 2.

All these supps. contain Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate. I personally have gotten excellent results from it. Endurance, strength, and size have all rapidly gone up. I take MBI's Nitric Oxide and have used NOX2, NO2, Nitrix, ect. NOX2 one of the better ones. So far MBI's got my vote. It's a liquid gel so it's easier on my stomach and supposedly the absorption rateis better. It does seem to work a notch above the rest and is about half the price. You only need to take AAKG supps. twice daily and the timing isn't that important b/c the half life is about 18 hrs. Just try to take it on an empty stomach. You'll really notice it after 3-4 days. Pumps are incredible.

Do I need to take it days I don't lift?

Basically you can get the same effect from the so called "pump" supplements by taking regular L-Arginine. its the essential amino acid that causes the body to produce more Nitric Oxide(NO) which causes vasodilation(widening of the blood vessels) which in turn allows more blood to flow into a muscle-causing a "pump". I've heard pros and cons about these supplements, but in my opinion and experience, 3 to 4 grams of pure L-arginine spread out throughout the day is sufficent in rasing NO levels.

Will taking this product only once (right before I workout) be enough to give me pumps during my workout or do I need to take it for a while before I see results?

It's possible you may feel or see some slight results from the first dose, but with any supplement, especially this type, a NO booster, it will be more noticeable over a period of time. There is no magic bullet out there to work wonders from day one, they may claim it, but there isn't. Any one on this board who has ever used supplements can attest to that.
