It is approx a 12 week training programso it will workout perfect for me!<BR/><BR/>As for the Nitrix and taking it on an empty stomache - I usually take it as soon as I wake up, around 2pm, and then right before bed. This seems to work pretty well and the only time it interfers with my eating is in the middle of the day. I honestly beleive the Nitrix is the best product out of the three -- I can literally feel my veins when I workout!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-28897162138277605452009-03-31T15:28:00.000-05:002009-03-31T15:28:00.000-05:00Sounds like the BSN supplements have worked for yo...Sounds like the BSN supplements have worked for you. I think I'll add some supplements after my first round of P90X. I've been researching creatine/Cell Mass and have been hesitant to use it on this go around since it may add some water weight.<BR/><BR/>@Boxcarvibe thanks for the tip on the premixed NO-xplode. All I typically need to get jacked up for a work-out is a tall cup of black coffee, but for $3.50 I might be interested in giving it a try.Mark A.http://p90xreviewblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-20084553421692019472009-03-31T06:24:00.000-05:002009-03-31T06:24:00.000-05:00FIFTEEN PIKE PRESSES???

I might have to try this No Xplode after all. My local GNC says I can buy it, and even if there's one teaspoon left at the bottom, I can return it for a full refund if I'm not fully satisfied. <BR/><BR/>They do offer a pre-mixed, by-the-bottle version of No-Xplode (can't remember the name), but for $3.50 a bottle, I can try it and toss it if I don't like it. I do have hypothyroidism, and I noticed on the label that people with thyroid disease should avoid No Xplode.<BR/><BR/>My body is beginning to feel worn down as well, in a good way of course. I'm not injured, but I'm waking up each morning feeling like I could have slept another three hours. That's new for me. But, with only three weeks left, I'm plugging away and leaving it all on the floor.Boxcarvibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403267379168255742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-84685319602550863942009-03-31T00:37:00.000-05:002009-03-31T00:37:00.000-05:00After a couple rounds of P90X feeling beat up is u...After a couple rounds of P90X feeling beat up is understandable. You are going to love your recovery week.<BR/><BR/>Are you going to cycle the BSN products while you do your triathlon training?<BR/><BR/>I bought NOXplode, Cellmass and Nitrix. I was going to start using it when I start round 2. I think the NOXplode will help with the extra triathlon workouts. I am not sure about using the Nitrix because it seems I have to schedule my eating very tightly with the Nitrix schedule and I am not sure I can time everything correctly.<BR/><BR/>Boomer<BR/><A HREF="http://www.projectexercise.com" REL="nofollow">Project Exercise</A>Boomerhttp://www.projectexercise.comnoreply@blogger.com
