As a big fan of BSN I was excited to try the new formula for N.O Xplode. I had great success with the original formula...that was until I adapted to it and no longer felt the same intense energy rush and insane pumps. I must say that I like the convenience of the "stix" or the cool aide style packets it comes in now. I can't count how many times I had to try and rig a funnel out some papers usually spilling most of the contents. After my first dose of N.O. Xplode NT I could tell it was going to hit me hard. The taste is definitely a little bit stronger but nothing that can't be solved with a quick chug. The warm tingly feeling came quick and was hitting the weights like a mad man in no time. I have to say the beta alanine is at higher dose and led to a strong tingly sensation while I was running but it did shave off a couple minutes from my 3 mile run. Overall it is a step above the original formula and may be for the advanced lifters.
I would have to rate this an 8/10
