Is an NO product going to make you gain lasting muscle mass? Many companies in their product descriptions don't even claim this in their advertising.

I realize there are plenty of studies showing their benifits. Do these benifits exceed those of that which could be obtaind through better protein supplementation? I doubt it.

ESPECIALLY all the newbies to training, think that an NO Booster is something they need to be on.

Here's what I say.

If, a person is already consistantly taking

Whey
Creatine
BCAAs (All-In-One,Xtend)
Multi
EFAs
&
Proper investment in food for daily intake

Then, maybe, they should consider an NO.

Everyone talks about NO boosters as if they are a staple for gaining mass and strength.

I have tried many NO boosters in the past 6 months. Here's my experience:

Reduced workout intensity
Reduced range of motion
reduced muscular fatigue from reduced intensity


I feel they do work, but not for true gains in comparison to staple supplementation which is often overlooked.

To maintain 2g of protein per pound of body mass through my day, I go through a lot of protein. I also spend a lot of time cooking meals for taking with me to work. Do these newbies that are spending money on NOs?

Why are, especially the young kids, being told to buy NO boosters when it's highly unlikely they are even buying enough protein powder to meet their daily needs. We get alot of people who say they can't afford products like Xtend to take at solid doses. Maybe, it's because they're spending it on NO boosters.

The moral of the story is:

NO boosters shouldn't be purchased for gains, untill your diet and protein level has been maximized. K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid, focus on the essentials!


this isn't a hate post. but i think the thought of NOs being a staple is absurd....
