NO Xplode Igniter, Hemo Rage Turbo, and Redline Extreme Shot Reviews
Though much can be said about the higher price tag of all 3 of these pre-workout supplements, they all have one big benefit in common; they're convenience. You don't need to scoop any powder, shake any cups, or spill any bright colored liquids on your white shirt before working out... Just me? With these you unscrew the lid, and drink the small amount of liquid within a few gulps and you're done. The lack of bloating is also a nice little perk.
First Off, The Taste...
All 3 of these pre-workouts taste nearly identical, even though each flavor I had was different. They were overly sweet, and bitterly sour and the same time - similar to the sour candies that I used to eat when I was a kid which would my face scrunch up in distaste (yet somehow this was enjoyable then). I had the Blue Raspberry, Sucker Punch, and Berry respectively. If you've ever had a 5-Hour energy drink, it tastes very close to those. My guess would be that by trying to stuff all of those chemicals into such a small container would make it really sour, so they have to over sweeten it just to cover it up. On the plus side, the bottles are so small that you can down it in just a few gulps.
How Did They Work?
NO Xplode Igniter Shots:
This was the first of the 3 I tried and I can easily say that it works quite well. I felt energized, focused, and got to the gym about 10 minutes earlier ( I was still excited about the no mixing part here). It was a high intensity interval workout that they feature in one of the P90x programs. Over the course of the hour session, I was able to keep my energy levels up till the end with a minimal crash following. Stamina certainly felt improved as well. About the flavor, I purchased the Blue Raspberry (not my favorite with anything, but it was all they had) and it was pretty similar to the regular NO Xplode's.
VPX Redline:
I used VPX's Redline for an arms day that lasted about 60 min. Similar to NO above, energy and focus was good but I didn't see or feel much of an improvement in the pump category. And that's pretty odd for anyone's arm day. Besides that my stamina was decent, though I started to feel tired around the 50 min mark which brought a bit of a crash as well. This is most likely from the 300mg of caffeine they stuck in there. It's a rare few people that don't crash after that much caffeine. The Berry flavor was okay, still just sour.
Hemo Rage:
Hemo Rage happened to fall on a circuit training day, which works pretty much all of my muscles at a fast pace. Surprisingly, I found Hemo Rage to be my favorite of the 3. The energy was nice and smooth coming up and going down, focus lasted through to the end, and I didn't feel any crash whatsoever either. And for some reason, the pump I got from Hemo was noticeably better than I had received from the other two supplements. The taste swas still sour, but seemed a little less so than the others too. The one thing I don't like about Hemo Rage is the ingredient label... the only thing that it tells you the amount of, is how much Sodium there is. What's the point of even having a label? Though I can honestly say it was my favorite of these 3 supplements, I'd say that they'd better start thinking about having better label transparency and no prop blends because a lot of the most popular brands out right now show everything on their label.
