I see that these No2 products are selling like free crack. would there be any benifit to using Via as a workout aid. would it give you a arm numbing pump or just a stiffy at the gym and nothing else?

It really works, if you train hard you would not have any accident with your "====O". you will see that you're muscles are very pumped and you're going to feel a nice blood rush.

No, it helps close down the specific type of viens that keeps the blood from leaving your crank. I believe these veins is also in your nose and maybe somewhere else. One of the side effects is a stuffy nose, but it will not effect your muscle pumps.
I'm sure somone else can give a much more scientific explanation.

I found this little write up while surfing the net one day from a website called www.mesomorphosis.com:
Viagra
All right, no person that I know of is using Viagra as a performance enhancer (for athletics) yet. For a while though I have wondered whether it could have any usefulness however, since there is some indirect scientific evidence that suggests it might. Furthermore, I just recently found out that they have been using it in racing greyhounds in Ireland, where trainers call it "the best thing since sliced bread".
Viagra works by increasing the effects of nitric oxide (NO), a substance that serves many key functions in biological processes throughout the body. One of the most well known and important functions of NO is the dilation of blood vessels. This allows greater blood flow to the muscles, which of course can be valuable to an athlete during competition.
What is more interesting to me is the role of NO on muscles during resistance training. JE Anderson found that NO appears to be a vital signal in the activation of muscle satellite cells in response to damage. Satellite cell activation is the key first step in the repair and hypertrophy of muscle cells after heavy training. Viagra may therefore enhance the hypertrophy response to exercise, working at the most basic and primary level of the process.
In addition to this, there is evidence that suggests that Viagra may work to amplify the "pump" response during training. The pump is thought to happen when contracting muscle fibers signal local vascular relaxation (increasing the blood flow to the working muscles). According to KS Lau and coworkers, NO generated by neuronal NO synthase in contracting skeletal muscle fibers may regulate vascular relaxation via a cGMP-mediated pathway. Since the mechanism of action for Viagra is amplification of the cGMP pathway, there is ample reason to believe that the drug may indeed affect the blood flow and pump to the muscle, and therefore indirectly aid in the hypertrophy response.
I've tried it and personally the only thing I felt was a stuffy nose while working out. It was more disturbing than helpful. Maybe it's different for somebody else.

This is actually what Alpha2 stimulants like yohimbine do. Increased nitric oxide levels cause vasodialation in blood vessels.
