High Weight/Low Reps is probly the way you want to go if your trying to gain mass.

Actually from my reading you should lift in "cycles."


High volume/lower weight and short rests is best for pumps, endurance (from slow twitch muscle fiber growth), and making your muscle cells bigger.

High weight/low reps is best for actual strenth (fast twitch muscle fiber growth) and growing new muscle cells, which is what people mean when they talk about "permanent gains." Like with fat, it's generally believed that growing new muscle cells makes your gains more likely to stick around than simply enlarging pre-existing muscle cells.


It's best to switch back and fourth between the two in order to keep shocking your body. Once your muscle cells are enlarged with all kinds of nutrients from the high volume, you're in an ideal state to build new muscle cells. Once those new muscle cells are built, it's time to get them filled with nutrients. That's my understanding of it, at least.


Regardless of whether you're doing high volume or high intensity, it's best to finish a workout within an hour to avoid staying in a catabolic state for too long.


Also of note when you're doing high intensity: compound excercises where you can move bigger weights (eg. bench, squats, deadlifts, chest presses, dips, rows) naturally increase your production of testosterone, HGH, and other anabolic hormones beyond what you get from isolation movements. You should probably still incorporate isolation moves into your workouts, but the big compound lifts should come first and be what you concentrate on the most. Isolation moves are your "supplement."

I'm with Clint and like NO-EXPLODE best it gives a great pump and amazing gains.

I am not a fan of Creatine it makes me puffy and I hate that. So I avoid it only when I plateau do I take a bit.

I load Amino's period it's one of the best things to do to stay young and fit.

And I use HDT Protein powder with Rice Milk and some Flaxseed oil mixed in. I'm older don't want my cholesterol to get too high.

I was expecting great results given the phenomenal blend of NO, Creatine and Glutamine topped with the fact that it costs twice as much as everything else.

Are we paying for the label or am I just doing something wrong?

I workout 4 days per week and usually on 1-2 of the days I am not working out I will do 400 pushups (first rep of 50, then reps of 25 thereafter until I hit 150, then two reps of 20 and finish it off with a very slow rep of 10) , I do this when I wake up and then before I go to sleep, I start the day out with these on my workout days as well).

I don't use the Xyience for the pushups, I do my regular workout during the day and take the Xyience about 45 minutes before wroking out and Muscle Milk about 45 minutes post workout.

Are the morning pushups possibly effecting the results of the Xyience by me maybe not giving my mucles enough time to recoop (since I am doing 200 in the morning and 200 at night) or maybe by doing the pushups in the morning and using those muscles pre Xyience intake that is causing problems as well?

My results are improved from taking 0 supplements to using the Xyience NOX-CG3 but I am wondering if I should possibly look to a different supplement to replace the Xyience? I have heard good things about BSN N.O. Xplode, does this product achieve much better results than Xyience NOX-CG3?

I am really looking to gain strength and mass though not too much mass that it effects my mobility. I'm 5'-10" and 182lbs, I would like to be at 195lbs.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Xyience is the most overrated brand ever. there prices are way to high. go to vitamin world and buy NOS BLAST by Precision Engineering(Vitamin Worlds brand) and save money and get what you payed for. Im taking it right now and its works really badass.

Ummm ... Just so you know, NO-Xlode has creatine in it. It's not monohydrate which means less water retention, but creatine is in it. All the Nitric Oxide boosters are are different forms of arginine (an amino acid) with a few things like citrulline that aide it.

I know I should of been more specific. Regular creatin is in beef and all sorts of things I did mean Monohydrate and I thought that was obvious.

P.S. Rufio Don't be a head everyone who knows anything knows arginine is an amino. L-Lysine and Ornathine with Arginine create a Natural spurt in you own HGH. Don't get High and mighty with me friend because one of my best friends is a Bio Engineer and manipulates Peptides for a living.

LOL I didn't mean to get "high and mighty." I had no way of knowing whether you knew that or not. A lot of people I talk to in the gym barely pay attention to the actual ingredients in their supplements. All they know about NO Xplode is that "it has nitric oxide." How am I supposed to know what research you have or haven't done in this area?
