I liked NO Explode. It gave me a lasting charge, allowed me to lift heavier and longer. This is no placebo or phycological effect. It was all physiological. As a result, i had better workouts.
It has its downsides though. You build a tolerence to it quickly. Thats why i only use 2 scoops on training days 15 min before workouts. It can give you headaches if your not careful, not good for focus at the gym. It can upset your stomach and give you the runs, like many other stimulants can. This is not good when your body needs nutrients NOW. It is ridiculous for any stim product to insist that you take it 30-45 minutes before a workout AND you should have an empty stomach. For me, that is a big no no for pre-workout nutrition. I had a shake 1 hour before gym, and NO Xplode about 30 min. later. They recommend waiting an hour after a shake. It has the potential to push any food right through you also. It is very expensive for what you get.
I may or may not try it again, i may just stick to what i was going to do, make my own stim concoction for a fraction of the price. If you can time it right, get the dose right, and use it effectively its not a bad option for a good stim before a workout.
