NO2 RED by MRI

After trying out NO2 Black, I had to get my hands on the newest version of MRI’s Nitric Oxide supplement: NO2 Red. Here’s an overview of how I would take NO2 Red:
– As directed on the bottle, I would take 3 caplets roughly 30 minutes before I consumed my breakfast. As with NO2 Black, I felt an almost immediate pump and fullness in my muscles. Then it states if you want to “super charge” your N.O. experience, then take 2 more caplets mid-afternoon. I feel that taking NO2 Red before a meal, allows the nutrients to be absorbed and fully distributed to your muscles due to the vascularity and blood flowing at a much higher rate. I suggest taking the “super charge”, allowing the body to utilize the powerful ingredients throughout the day.

-THE INGREDIENTS in NO2 Red are much more potent than any other NO2 product I have ever tried. Not only does it have essential vitamins (A, C, K1, K2, D3, B6, B9, B12, etc), it also contains a large amount of N.O. boosters than no other supplement contains! In the “Advanced 5x NO Booster Complex” it features 5 different types of Arginine. Not only does this product contain Arginine but in the “Myocarn Power Complex” it contains L-Glycine, Citrulline Malate, N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl, Glutamine, Beta-Alanine, and L-Histidine.

-NO2 RED is perfect for getting those maximum pumps, facilitating power, AND increasing recovery. Increasing your vascularity will promote blood flow, which will bring more oxygen and nutrients into the muscles; thus, allows for maximum muscle growth and muscle recovery. I will always keep an NO2 product from MRI in my supplementation, there’s no doubt about that.

Black Powder by MRI

BLACK POWDER

MRI created the first pre-workout to employ the whey “peptide fraction” called the ACTINOS2IR. IR stands for “instant release” of Nitric Oxide and rapid uptake of N.0. levels in the body. After about 15 minutes of my first dosing of Black Powder, I felt in “instant release” of Nitric Oxide and my vascularity started to rise even before my training session began. Black Powder has everything you could want in a pre workout and many more. Check out Black Powder’s profile below:

<img src="https://completecontraction.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120720-182348.jpg" alt="20120720-182348.jpg" class="alignnone size-full"

Flavor and Taste – 8/10: I had purchased the Fruit Explosion flavor, since I know you can’t go wrong with fruit punch! After a few of my close friends saw what I was taking, they had actually purchased Black Powder in Blue Raspberry and Orange Burst and we all had exchanged flavors. Let me say that you CANNOT go wrong with any flavor of Black Powder! I personally prefer the Orange Burst, but they were all outstanding compared to other pre-workouts on the market.

Mixability – 9/10: Black Powder mixes perfectly in my opinion. There were absolutely no clumps, which was fairly surprising for the large serving size. When mixed there was a slight carbonation, which I actually look for in a pre-workout and makes me feel like my body has a quicker uptake of the nutrients and supplements.

Energy and Focus – 8.5/10: This is what really matters when it comes to my choice of pre-workout; what separates the winners from the losers. What I absolutely love about MRI’s Black Powder is that this product is not full of junk and fillers like other pre-workouts. Every single ingredient included on the nutrition panel can be dissected, broken down, and you can find purpose for it being included in the mix. I found that Black Powder has a great blend of useful ingredients in promoting strength, endurance, focus, energy, recovery, and size gains. Most pre-workouts rely on a strong dosage of stimulants, which leave you with a bitter crash later on in the day. Black Powder is precisely measured in potency and I found that it had the perfect blend of caffeine and stimulants, so that later on in your day you don’t feel an instant crash or jitters during your workout.

Overall – 8.5/10: I definitely would recommend this pre-workout to anyone wanting to get that extra edge and focus on their workout. It seemed to me that this pre-workout will become a new staple in my supplementation!

Keep a look out for new blog posts regarding NO2 RED, RED REPAIR, and HEMO SURGE! I just purchased these supplements today and I will be adding them to my stack tomorrow!

NO2 Black by MRI

NO2 BLACK

The second product I tried by MRI was NO2 Black, which is a nitric oxide supplement. I was absolutely blown away by the immediate and intense effects. Let’s start off by taking a look at the profile:
-3 GRAMS of Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (A-AKG) – A-AKG is actually a form of salt created when combining two molecules of the amino acid ARGININE and one molecule of ALPHA-KETOGLURATE.
-150 MG Proprietary Blend of:
– ALPHA LIPOIC ACID – This is an antioxidant that actually helps convert glucose into energy
– ACTINOS2 WHEY PEPTIDE FRACTION – An instant rise in nitric oxide levels will occur

On the directions, it says take 4 pills about 30 minutes before breakfast and 4 pills 30 minutes before lunch (the amount you take varies depending on gender and weight). After my first dosage, I literally felt an instant fullness in my muscles. I felt my shirt literally get tighter. Even after my first dosage, I was HOOKED to say the least. It’s unbelieveable to think I had a pump within 30 minutes, but I know exactly what I had seen and felt.

I had tried one other NO2 pill form product, which was NITRIX, and in my honest opinion I don’t think NITRIX compares at all to NO2 BLACK. My vascularity in the gym was insane, beyond what I thought my body was capable of. Not only was my nitric oxide levels high during my workout, but also during the rest of the day, my vascularity remained above average. I was so thrilled with this product that I even went out and bought a 300 capsule bottle.

Overall, I would give this product a 9/10. It has no comparison in my opinion of effectiveness. BOTTOM LINE, if you are looking for a NITRIC OXIDE supplement, you should definitely look into buying NO2 BLACK. MRI has NO2 RED now, which is an installment of their RED line products. After I finish my 300 capsule bottle, I am going to go for the RED line products, and I will be reviewing those as soon as I can!

Anabolic Switch by MRI

BASIC OVERVIEW:
I had purchased a tub of Anabolic Switch by MRI. Here’s a basic overview of Anabolic Switch in one serving (3 scoops):
– 6 grams of 7 different types of creatine
– 4 grams of 8 different amino acids
– taurine, CarnoSyn® beta alanine, and AAKG
BY MY opinion, the profile looked completely solid and extremely promising to big gains. It instructs the individual to take 1 serving before your workout, and then one serving after your workout. On OFF days, it recommends you drink 1 serving in the morning and 1 serving twelve hours later. Now, let’s get to the good stuff.

TASTE: 8.5/10
– The flavor I had received was Fruit Punch, which is an overused flavor in the supplement industry. Needless to say, this fruit punch DID NOT disappoint me in any way. It had a slight carbonation feeling to it, which definitely brought out a distinct flavor. I almost can relate Anabolic Switch’s flavor with fruit punch gatorade mixed with crushed up sweet tarts. I looked forward to slamming back Anabolic Switch before and after a workout.

MIXABILITY: 8/10
– With the large amounts of creatine in Anabolic Switch, I was blown away by how consistent the mixability was. It wasn’t a very grainy mixture at all, definite “props” to MRI for accomplishing a smoothe blend with 6 grams of creatine. The only issue I had was the foam. The foam sits at the top of the drink, but once you chug it, the foam will end up on the bottom of the bottle. This isn’t a big issue at all, just throw in another 5 ounces of water and shake it up again. Problem solved – and trust me, it’s worth it.

RESULTS: 9/10
– This is the part that actually matters for those goal oriented individuals. First off, make sure you’re drinking well over a gallon of water a day. Taking in 12 grams of creatine is pretty heavy, so be careful with that aspect. After about 4 days, I had saw some pretty solid gains starting to take place. All of my compound movements such as bench press, dips, squats, deadlifts, and others had shot up 5-15 lbs (depending on the lift). Not only did my lifts increase pretty dramatically in a short time, my recovery period had shortened! I was beginning to feel mildly sore, and that’s after hitting new personal bests on compound movements. I had noticed my weight fluctuated from 179-184, which is typically waterweight. But pushing more weight will yield bigger results. If you are looking to pack on some SIZE, STRENGTH, and shorten RECOVERY periods, then I definitely recommend Anabolic Switch by MRI!

MRI: I have also purchased NO2 Black 180 Capsules, and Black Powder (Fruit Punch). I will be reviewing NO2 Black when I finish the bottle in a week. Get ready for this one…First time I’ve ever tried an NO2 Capsule product and I’ve been blown away. Black Powder will be reviewed after I finish the 40 serving pre-workout tub.

Cellucor M5 Extreme 2 in 1

CELLCUOR M5 EXTREME: 2 IN 1

I was lucky enough to receive Cellucor’s 2 in 1 M5 Extreme. This is definitely a step up from Cellucor’s C4 Extreme; since M5 contains the creatine matrix. The top part of the container is the “Ignite” which has an extremely small scoop and contains the energy blend. The bottom part of the container is the “Build” which contains the creatine matrix and other muscle/strength building ingredients.

FLAVOR – 8/10: I had the Cherry Limeade flavor, which definitely tasted amazing. But when comparing it to C4, I didn’t like it nearly as much. In my opinion, M5 tops most of the other leading pre workouts – which is all that matters. The mixibility of M5 is pretty consistent, even with 5 grams of creatine in it. Overall, I look forward to chugging M5 before

ENERGY – 9/10: I felt the same kind of rush that I feel with C4. My energy is always soaring with Cellucor products, and the great thing about M5 is that I had NO CRASH. That’s the thing with the other pre workouts on the market, they overload with caffeine which causes you to crash later on after your workout. Personally, I haven’t experienced a crash yet.

RESULTS – 10/10: Getting to the part that actually matters, I would have to recommend M5 to anyone who wishes to increase strength and size. All of my lifts have sky rocketed, and I have broke barriers that I have been stuck at for months. My bench press increased by 20 pounds. My hang clean shot up to 275 lbs x 3. My squat shot up by at least 10 pounds, while increasing my reps. This has only been two weeks I have been on this; there is something to be said about the creatine matrix in M5. I have been blown away and will continue to use this as my number one pre workout while using creatine.

New Cellucor C4 Extreme Flavors

I was lucky enough to receive the two new flavors from Cellucor’s C4 Extreme pre-workout formula. The two new flavors are Icy Blue Razz and Pink Lemonade. Let’s start off this review with a general overview…

-CELLUCOR C4 EXTREME OVERALL-
Mixability: 10/10: The way C4 Extreme mixes is perfect for the way I like my drinks. It has NO grainy solution at all. Of course, some of the creatine sits at the bottom, but it you shake it up right before drinking there will be no problem with that at all. There is no carbonation like some of the other top pre-workouts on the market right now. I don’t know about you guys, but if I drink a carbonated pre-workout beverage before exercise, I feel like throwing up the entire session. C4 Extreme offers a non-grainy solution, and best of all a non-carbonated solution.

Packaging: 10/10. I only decided to throw packaging in there because of the unique water absorbing packet I found in my new jug of C4. This packet will help stop clumping of the product. It helps to maintain the smooth powdery mix instead of clumps that won’t dissolve in water. Personally, I feel as if my powder has stayed fresher, longer. I love this idea!

Energy: 9/10: I found that my energy was increased from taking other pre-workouts as opposed to C4 Extreme. With one of the current top 5 pre-workouts, I would have anxiety issues after about 3 hours of consumption. I think this was due to the mass amounts of 1,3 DMAA contained in the solution. I never had the same issue with C4 Extreme even thought C4 Extreme contained 1,3 DMAA for a while. The new formulation out now has thrown the 1, 3 DMAA out of the product (if you want to read more about this, look at my last blog). The energy is overall awesome, and rarely ever have a crash.

Pumps: 9.5/10: The pumps are crazy and this is what I live for. My veins thicken, and I’m even starting to see new veins pop out every workout. The NO3 technology is far more superior than any other NO formulation out there.

–ICY BLUE RAZZ-
The first time I cracked open my Icy Blue Razz jar, I was surprised at how it smelled. It wasn’t a too powerful smell that overwhelmed you, but it was definitely intoxicating. The grains looked a bit finer than the fruit punch I was always used to, but that could have been the freshness packet. Anyway, I was BLOWN away by the perfect taste of this! If you like any type of blue flavored sports drinks, well, you’ve got a new favorite, I promise you that! Other top pre-workouts are hard to even swallow, yet Cellucor creates the best tasting pre-workout along with delivering results.

-PINK LEMONADE-
-I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t impressed with the smell of this product at first. I reread the label to make sure it was Pink Lemonade, cause I couldn’t even half imagine it as being that. But my whole opinion changed when I throw a scoop into my shaker cup and chugged it. I normally don’t get excited about any pre-workout taste, but this tasted EXACTLY like Pink Lemonade from any store. I’ve officially got two new favorite pre-workout flavors, but the problem is that I want to drink them even when I’m not about to workout!

Overall, from a non-biased perspective, I would give both of these products HIGH 9/10. Because no product receives a perfect 10. I would definitely advise any bodybuilder, fitness model, track athlete, football player, or anyone looking to get into shape to get these products and I promise you will be just as thoroughly satisfied as I am!

New Cellucor C4 Extreme Formula

– One of the best pre-workout supplements on the planet has just got even better. CELLUCOR’s C4 EXTREME has managed to gain another advantage on other leading pre-workout supplements such as Jack3d. C4 Extreme used to contain the ingredient 1 3 dimethylamylamine, also known as Methylhexanamine (1,3 DMAA).
– 1 3 Dimethylamylamine: This happens to be used for a nasal decongestant, which was discovered and patended in 1944. Although it happens to be a natural extract from geranium flowers, it gives a huge burst of energy and focus. You might be thinking that this ingredient is a great advancement in the supplement industry, but you might think wrong. 1 3 dimethylamylamine is a vasoconstrictor! Wait a second…When you work out, aren’t you trying to get the biggest pump? Therefore, you wouldn’t want any vasoconstrictors in your pre-workout supplements, you’d only want vasodialators, such as L-arginine. Research has also shown that when consumed in large doses, it can create some serious problems for male users. Erectile dysfunction has been increasing in larger numbers of 1 3 dimethylamylamine. Not only does it cause health issues, but it also happens to be banned from large numbers of sports organizations such as NCAA.
– CELLUCOR’S C4 EXTREME has completely removed 1 3 dimethylamylamine from it’s new forumla! I was lucky enough to get a full tub of the new formula without the 1 3 DMAA for testing. I received the Fruit Punch flavor again, and was extremely excited to try it without the 1 3 DMAA. I was a little skeptical after reading how the 1 3 DMAA has such an effect on energy. But after I tried just 1 scoop, I was blown away! I still managed to get HUGE pumps, along the same amount of energy, if not even better! I felt like the energy was cleaner, perhaps it was in my head, but my body just felt like a machine running much more efficiently.

ATTENTION: In my next few blogs, I will be reviewing Cellucor’s other top pre-workout – M5 Extreme. Also, I will be testing out the new flavors of the C4 Extreme – Pink Lemonade and Icy Blue Razz! I have tried the Fruit Punch, and it’s been the best flavored pre-workout I have ever tasted. Orange is yet to be tested, but the Pink Lemonade and Icy Blue Razz will be shipped out to me in the next few weeks for testing, and I will definitely be trying as soon as possible just to let you guys know how awesome the flavors will be and what to expect!
