I've been lifting for about 4 years now, tried many NO supps, namely NO-Xplode and Nano Vapor. And in my opinion BP surpasses the other NO products by leaps and bounds, Nano is my opinion is garbage and while NO-Xplode WILL give you huge pumps it's effectiveness wears off quickly and you need to start taking more and more which turns you into a jittery mess for the rest of the day. I work long hours in construction and BP give me the energy I need to drag my ass to the gym at the end of the day and I have no problem sleeping after I take it. Gives you the pumps you'd expect from Xplode without any of the outta control heart after math, also in two months of using this product I've never experienced any gut rot. Definitely a top notch supp!

So far ive taken over 10 pre workout suppliments in the past two years, NO Xplode, Horsepower, NanoVap and none of them even compare to Black Powder. The pumps and stamina is much more explosive than with any other supp ive ever taken. Best part is no upset stomach and I'm already a tub in and my tollerance is still very high so I havnt had to switch products yet. If you havnt tried this one you really need to!

I'm typically not a fan of supplmentts. I've never had much luck with any supplement, except protein shakes and just eating right. My buddy, who has about the same luck with supp's as me, got a tip from a very reliable source at our gym that Black Powder was the best supp he had ever taken. So me and buddy decided to grab some up. On the first workout we noticed a difference. We weren't sure if it was a placebo effect or not, but we had a ton of energy and good pump at the end. After a 6 week cycle i can say it is the first supplements that ACTUALLY works for me. After my off cycle we will both be getting back on on it. CAN'T WAIT!

I have used black powder about a month now(not working out EVERY day). First of all this product taste great and is fast working. They say to take it on an empty stomach and i eat lunch at 12 and i wait till 4 to take it. With in 15-20 minutes i start to feel it, your veins will pop out and your arms feel like their about to explode. I've noticed great improvment in stamina while using bp and you definetly dont get tired during a work out you want to keep lifting. My stomach has never got upset from it and never had any side effects at all and im a begginer lifter. I would suggest this product to anyone who is looking for a boostin the gym and looking to be focused.

This product is my favorite i have lifted for 5 years now and have never gotten this big and good of a pump. I highly recommend this supplement to anyone who loves to have a good work out!

great supplement, i never felt the same pumps i was getting a week ago. i recommend taking it only on days you dont feel like training. have to have a low tolerance to get the same pump every time .. go with this or bsn

this has got to be the best no product i've ever been on. I took nano-vapor which just made my skin rash and tingle and my heart beat out of my chest. while vapor did make me a little stronger, this stuff kills it and everything else i've taken. doesn't make me shaky or out of breath, there is just always a little extra intensity there when i struggle a bit with a weight. the strength is ridiculous, i shouldn't be lifting what i am at 179 lbs. recommend 100% for a pre-workout supp.

1st off, try the single serving packets first, see if it works for you so you don't end up buying a whole tub. I'm 37, been active my whole life and been working out serious for about 2 years and tried all the NO products out there. X-Plode - great at first but by the end of the tub, I needed 2-3 scoops just to get a small pump and made me feel real jittery. Same with SuperPump 250. And all Shotgun did was make me sweat more and feel real sick/funky in my stomach. So, I tried B.P. and was very impressed! Been on it for 2 months, just bought another tub. Great workouts, better pumps and size gains. Now, you don't get that "rage" intensity with B.P that you do with Xplode or SuperPump, where you feel like you can punch thru walls, but with B.P. you do get focus, energy, endurance and motivation. A good "pick-me-up" if you're tired before a workout. No jitters. And for me, no crash afterward. Stomach may feel funny (but not jacked up) for a week or two to get used to it, then no problems. Everyone is different but if you've tried the other NO's out there with the same results as me, try B.P!

I hate to review a product that I have not used for more than a week but when using pre workout formulas I feel that it does not take much time to know if it either works or does not. I have been using NO supplements since they came out in pill form. Ever since then, I have mainly used NO Explode. There are definitive results and the energy I receive from it is amazing. However, I cannot take it anymore due to heart palpations I feel derive from it, as well as extreme anxiety. So I gave the NO one last shot with Black Powder, and after 3 uses I must say I did not feel any more energy than I would without taking it, the pump was a normal pump off of a natural work out and worst of all, the crashing effects (not as extreme) were still present. My suggestion, say no to NO Black Powder~

Black powder was the first pre workout supplement I tried and I really did feel its effects. The only problem was, was that after about a week of using it I wasnt feeling the same pump anymore. I think for beginners or people who dont want to push the limit every single time they hit the gym, it is the perfect supplement.

Just starting using this product the same day I upped my weight for several of my workouts (benchpress, bicep/lat curls, dead lift etc..) and I was able to do the same amount of reps as with less weight. I didn't get any explosion of energy, but that may be due to the fact that I was still a little full from breakfast and it took the BP longer to get into my system. I did get a funky kind of sick feeling in my stomach as well, similar to when I tried BodyFortress whey protein powder. I believe it is the taurine that does it but I am not positive. I heard the feeling will go away after a while so hopefully it will...

I tried this product a few days ago, and overall, N.O. Black Powder is the most amazing Pre-training supp I've ever tried. It's not as intense as NO Explode (Hence the lower ratings from people that routinely take NO Explode), but I didn't feel as jittery, I was EXTREMELY focused and the feeling lasted longer. The first day it gave me a small stomach ache, but today I felt great. Yesterday was my first day of lifting in about two weeks, it was a full body bench/squat and all that in between, so I was kinda out of the swing of things, but the Black Powder made me feel like I could squat all the weight I could put on the bar. I was just as strong, if not sightly stronger, as I was two weeks ago! I woke up really sore the next day. Today was a speed day, but in my lifting class I have during school I benched for the second day in a row and did some fies and tris, and I actually performed on the bench even better than yesterday! This stuff is amazing! Finally, the pump I got from the BP was HUGE. After my first set I'd have a good sized pump, and after 4 or 5 my muscles felt like they were going to rip through my skin! It's a wonderful product, and I'd recommend it to anyone. But if you take NO Explode or anything that damaging, don't expect the same effects. Oh, and I was told to cycle with it so your body doesn't get used to it. Like a month on, a month or so off. Overall, it's a great product with great results, and no crash. Even for someone like me who's sensitive to stimulants like that.

The whole line of MRI products work well in conjunction with eachother. I currently work for a GNC and have had some great results with these products. The newest to their line of nutritional supplements is HSP Active. Another Home Run product. I've tried a lot of different supplements and there are a lot of legit companies making products that work well. Consistently, MRI is among the best.

What can i say,Well im new to taking supplements,i teach and train in kickboxing,and im 40 this year,so im needing a little help from time to time to recover and to give me that boost,i took black powder for the first time last night,had a open mind,and then it kicked in,it felt strange at first because i waited a little longer then i should to start working out i did feel a little light headed,but i think i got the mix wrong,too much powder not enough water,hey we all learn from our mistakes,but once i got going that went and the training got better and felt really good,mind you the only down side is that coz i worked harder and this morning an old injury and come back,so be careful guys coz you train hard and know your limits on this stuff you forget about it,but overall a pretty good product,worth a go,

I've been using black powder for about 6 months now, and plan on stopping once I run out... The first couple weeks were amazing, I didn't get weight gains, but I could rep all day, and I could run forever. At this point though, I just feel jittery after taking it, and don't notice any gains. I would find someone who has it and buy a little off of them and take it only on days you want to max-out, cause the effects definitely wear out if you take it often.

This stuff works. Heard good reviews about it at the gym and the GNC shop so I gave it a shot and it works great. You feel the extra energy and want to go for that extra set. Went to the gym one time without taking it and stayed maybe only 20 mins.

Tried MRI Black Powder for the first time today. This stuff is amazing. My energy levels went through the roof. I recently lost 70lbs and ive been trying to get my body back into shape. I lift with a couple of muscle heads and we do legs on fridays so we have the weekend to recover. Usually after starting with squats i barely have energy to finish our routine. After today however I wasnt ready to leave the gym. The recovery between sets was amazing. No jitters, no nausea, just pure energy. I cant wait to hit the gym monday! Even if its psychological its well worth the money.

This is by far the BEST ABSOLUTE BEST preworkout supplement ever. I took this during my workout, between sets. Monday the 16th i went to the gym at 2 and didnt leave until 7. The thursday before this, i did arms. I did arms the day i took Black powder. On thursday i could do 60 pound straight bar curls 8 times. Monday using black powder i did 80 pound straight bar curls 10 times easy as pie. I usually do 60 pound preacher curls for 10 reps. I did 80 pound preacher curls 10 times. For pulldowns i usually finish last set at 62.5 for 4 reps. I did the entire stack (97.5) 10 times. First day using black powder. Im 16. BUY BLACK POWDER NOW!

I go to a military academy in New York for college so working out is mildly expected of everyone, if even just push ups everyday. I've been hitting the weight room regularly again for about two and a half months now and I tried Black Powder after a few recommendations. Damn, I've never worked out that hard in my life. I did more weight, more reps, and more sets with about 80% of my workouts. I took it on a shoulders/traps/upper back day and I'd say that workout is 90% free weights and 10% machines. I mixed one scoop into 16 ounces of water and gave it about 10 minutes to kick in before I started working out. I'll say that I felt like running 10 miles on the way to the gym. This is an amazing product, except for one or two drawbacks. I took it around 2:20 in the afternoon, and couldn't fall asleep until around 2 in the morning. Maybe it was because it was my first time taking any kind of NO supplement, but my heart was pounding all the way up until I fell asleep. DO NOT take this anytime near when you want to go to sleep. I felt like I wanted an AED just to calm my heart down. I plan on taking around half a scoop from now on so my body can build up to the shock. I bought the fruit explosion flavor. It tastes like a fruit drink with way too much high fructose corn syrup in it. It doesn't taste particularly bad, but it just has that kind of weird kick to it. Overall, a product worth investing in, just make sure to time it right in the day because it will have your heart pumping like you just finished working out for hours.

I have been using this product for about 6 weeks now and I have noticable results in strength and mass and as well been told by others. For some one like me who has not lifted a weight in about 7 years this stuff has worked great for me. The only thing that I did not like was the nasty feeling I would get to my stomach from time to time and the taste was not that great so I kind of got grossed out towards the end my supply. Other then that i would totally recommend this to anyone.
