Thanks for the input. Especially the link sleazy, that had some really good information I had not previously read.


Another quick question, would xtend give me an energy boost as well? I mean obviously it wouldn't be anywhere near what NO-xplode does. But I was wondering if it would. Or if taking 200mg of caffeine with the xtend might do it for me?

Of course. Xtend has calories. NO Xplode doesn't, and so it never gave you energy.

Ok, I'm done being a smartass. I think caffeine sucks...it's a vasoconstrictor. If you really need it to feel hyped up enough to workout, then go for it..

I've veen reading alot and citruline-malate acts as somewhat of a vasodilator, correct? I know not as good as arginine, but it does somewhat? I could be completely wrong, however, so don't quote me. I'm asking to confirm this thought.

If you're being honest with the '1-2 years' of experience, I really think you should worry less about what/how much supplements you take and more about what your training and diet are like ;)

I agree.

Yes, CM will cause some vasodialation.

well, with my "1-2" years experience, I realize that it's the synergy of all training, diet, and supplements (in no specific order) that create a solid plan. I feel I have training and diet down pretty well, at least for myself at the moment, that is the reason for my asking of advice when it comes to supplements. Asking a question never heart anyone.

Sounds good...minus the supplements part. That doesn't have much (if any) long term effect on anyone's training so long as their diet & training are in order IMO. I've never met a serious/experienced trainee that credits any of his (or her) gains to supplements. It probably makes up about <1% of progress..or some insignificant number like that. I think that if people took the money they spent on supplements and spent it on food instead, that there would better gains from spending it on good food. That would make an interesting study...if they compared a supplement group vs a group that spent that same money on food.
