Claims: Black Powder is the first and only pre-training matrix to employ the powerful NOS Up-regulating whey "peptide fraction" ACTINOS2, delivered with MRI's "Instant Release (IR) Technology. Now you get the over-whelming advantage of an Instant surge of 950% more nitric oxide, combined with the most scientifically potent pre-workout compounds delivered in ratios measured to precise gram-molecular specification. The Science: Driving Performance and Size to New Levels. Scientifically, nitric oxide forms the basis from both performance and size. Nitric Oxide dilates the blood channels that deliver vital training and recovery nutrients to your muscle cells. In addition, nitric oxide signals and regulates muscle growth, muscle contraction, and metabolic adaptation to training. Until now, nitric oxide had a "pre-set" limit. Not any longer. Thanks to MRI's innovative ACTINOS2 IR, Black Powder creates an immediate surge in nitric oxide levels, 950% higher than previously attainable. In an instant, Black Powder's performance/size nutrient complex floods your muscle cells in volumes we never believed possible. Your body's performance and growth signals amplify in intensity, starting at your first set! Your strength, intensity, and focus hit levels they've never known. Your recovery starts before you even leave the gym. That's why with Black Powder, you'll get the most outrageously intense workout of your life, and you'll have the super-dilated skin-ripping pumps to prove it!

Im on my second day with NO2 Black Powder and I can honestly say Im pumped and have full concentration during my workout. Although throughout the day when Im on it I get angry easily. Im not that type of guy whos angry all the time, I don't have that much of a temper. Im also easily agitated with stupid things. It maybe because Im a light weight, I may have to lower my dosage a little bit. Besides that Im def. satisfied with this product and I will soon be stacking it with NO2 black pills. Happy Lifting!!! 5"6 125 lbs.

half of these reviews make me wonder if any of u twerps even took this product. im 22 and began takin NO Black aittle less than a month ago. if ur a 13 or 15 year old shrimper trying to gain mass then stop wasting paper route money and buy weight gainer and some protein. i found that if ur looking for growth potential and strength gains then u better already have a decent base already and are taking in a significant amount of supplementation (and eating clean). i personally have never had a problem gaining lean muscle mass or going up on weight in every exercise, and have noticed that this product has withheld my pumps much longer and given me more focus and motivation which ive been laking lately. i like NO Black and for anyone serious in bodybuilding should research and take it (personal physique permitting of course lol). caz - 5'8", 185lbs, benching 350.... get big people and stay of the juice

WOW!! awsome product. I've used similiar products but this one beats the compitition hands down. From day one I was amazed. I was so pumped I just had to let everyone know. My bench press went up an easy 20 pounds by my third chest workout and the intensity and stamina was surreal. When working out and using this product be careful not to overdue it,believe me you'll be so pump that you will push yourself like never before. at least I did

I've been using this stuff for about a month.. Noticed minor pumps first couple weeks and somewhat more concentration at the gym. But after the first two weeks it actually seems as though I've gone the opposite using this stuff. Now I lose focus and seem to be training a lot less harder. Not sure why, maybe its just me.. but I would not recommend this stuff. NO Xplode is much better than this, hands down IMHO. MRI has a solid reputation, but I think this stuff isn't all that it's hyped to be. Save your money and search for something better.. maybe like NO Xplode?

N.O. black powder give you great pumps and increases stamina. you can run sprints or a mile with hardy breathing heavily. i started out maxing 120 10 reps and 2 days later i could lift 130 with 12 reps. this product has no side effects and simply just allows more oxygen into the bloodstream. Safe for all ages and lasts 40 workouts!

really good product, great pumps and boost strength over period of taking it. but my body adjusted to it after about a week or two, so i up the dosage to 45 min before workout and then a serving while im working out,this seems to be working really good. gonna buy it again, but stay off it for a few weeks.

I used Black Powder for the first time today (20 min pre-workout). I have it stacked with Creatine Pills and Mega Men's. I was really skeptical because I have never taken a NO booster, but I have walked around like Vin Deisel for the rest of the day... I certainly feel like I was able to work harder in the gym and once I was done, I could definately feel it. I did take it on an empty stomach and I felt a buzz before working out.

I bought into the hype surrounding this product. What a mistake that was. It gave me decent focus, nothing special, but no good pumps whatsoever. Save your money and buy a better product.

This stuff is so much better then NO explode. I went through a whole bottle of NO and saw a little difference also the focus was only good the first couple of times even when i up-ed it 2 scoops. but black powder i am not even half way through it and i am seeing great results. i get a great focus everytime. i love the pump and the motivation. i keep adding to my bench every week and a half or so benching 3 days a week (Bi's and tri's 2 other days). I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to break away from what they used to lift.I have heard to stack it with NO 2 black but thats out of my price range i just take whey protein in water right after i am done working out. i got mine at [] for $50 by it being on sale, and buying the gold card + protein.

I had wrestling this past school year and i blew my shoulder out wrestling a kid that was not good at all. i really wanted to get my bench back up considering it was at 265 lbs for my max bench test. when i hurt my shoulder it went down to 135 lbs for my max. i took Black Powder for three weeks and my bench went up 55 lbs. i really recomend this product for serious weight lifters and people that want to recover or gain quick.

I just started working out again and started using black powder. I have to say when i used to work out i could tell how hard i worked for about 3 days after my workout but with BP i feel completely fresh just a few hours after an intense workout. Price is very fair as well.

ok 1st off this doesnt get you pumped at 1st like NO plode does. But the effect when you lift is amazing. When i tried it my 1st time i cant believe the amount of reps and weight i was able to do. The pain and the burn you get is so much less so i just keep pumping away and recovery after every set is amazing literally like less then a minute. I highly reconmend you try this if tryed other product, i promise you wont be dissapointed.

I've tried Black Powder on a whim. I have been taking Nitrobolic Extreme for awhile and heard from guys around the gym that they were trying this stuff. I gave it a shot. The differences: Nitrobolic Extreme..I get that Caffeine zip. Sometimes you just need this to get in the workout mood. I can't run after taking this (lower back cramps)but I get great pumps. Black Powder...I don't feel anything. I don't feel focus, intensity, or stronger, but I have been stacking an extra 5 or 10 lbs a week on almost everything. I do a lot of compound exercises and have been able to throw around significantly more weight. I don't feel jittery or have a caffeine buzz, but it is definitely working. Plus, I can take this and go for a 4 miler and not get back cramps. I recommend this supplement. I am 30, 6'2/225...It has definitely added to my workouts.

I tried NOXplode first, then nano vapor, and then Black powder. This seemed better than the rest for the first two weeks, then just seemed like it wasn't doing anthing. When taking the other two, I noticed great energy levels through out my workout through the whole bottle. This one doesn't seem to work as good. Best results I did see was on an empty stomach though.

I used this for 2 weeks now, so far its the best I've tried! Super Pump = Super Dump lol all I did was run to the bathroom every 30min all dang day! Black Powder seems to have no negative side effects and my fav is not having the runs! The blue rasberry tastes good, kinda like cotton candy, and I love that its only 1 scoop. The pumps are crazy and last for a while. The very 1st day I was adding weights onto every lift I did I felt like I could keep lifting to no end. It gives me crazy stamina too, I ran before the gym then I worked out for an hour and had so much energy I did 30min more of cardio and still wasn't tired. Love this stuff!

I purchased this product from [] for a pretty good price ($49.99) and was really excited to test it out after reading all the good reviews about it. About 2 hours after a meal I took one scoop and felt a slight buzz feeling from it. At the gym I have to admit there was some motivation but nothing special (I've gotten better pumps from listening to music before). So then I tried one scoop the next day on an empty stomach and the same thing happened. Now I haven't tried 2 or 3 scoops, instead I returned it and got my money back. Not worth 50 bucks if it's only gonna last me 14 workouts plus if it's so expensive then one scoop should be enough. Just my opinion though.

This product worked great for me. Within minutes of drinking it, I was extremely focused and my veins were more than noticeable, and in the gym my pumps were great and alertness and determination were at an all-time high. It mixes very easily, but doesn't taste so great (it's like drinking a Flinstones Chewable vitamin, just hold your nose and guzzle it down). I would recommend this for evening lifters though. If you take this without having eaten anything within 4-5 hours, it can make you feel miserable. It did for me and my brother, but if I eat at 12 p.m. and drink it at 4:30 p.m., it works excellent and within minutes, and no bad side effects. I give MRI Black Powder a 10/10 because it works. If your looking for that last extra boost in the gym, if your looking for excellent pumps and a road map on your arms, then your looking for MRI Black Powder.
