The Shotgun Approach To Lean Muscle Nitric Oxide Support!

VPX NO-Shotgun fuels episodes of physical intensity to induce insane muscle pumps that can lead to muscle growth. The biochemical and physiological response to when combined with intense resistance training causes extra trauma to occur to trained muscle. Greater resistance to muscle results in significantly increased internal pressure (the pump)…And as you know, the better the pump the greater the trauma caused to muscle-tissue. The end result: increased ability to build larger muscle!

NO-Shotgun is the first product of its kind to use a superior synergistic blend of effective compounds combined with a cutting-edge pharmaceutical delivery system that yields mind blowing, skin bursting effects, while additionally enhancing recovery and protein synthesis. Compounds such as Creatine (CEX), Arginine (AEX), Glutamine (GEX), Beta-Alanine (BAEX) and Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAEX) that are each combined with Ethyl Ester (EX) technology to insure maximum absorption and uptake! The Ethyl Ester Compounds used in NO-Shotgun help these potent muscle building ingredients enter the bloodstream nearly 100% intact, as opposed to the same ingredients without EX technology that might only be absorbed at 15% to 40%. This highly advanced EX technology shuttles these NO-SHOTGUN™ compounds across the muscle cell membrane where they can cause explosive muscle growth!

Headache

Exotic Fruit

I understand that it is hip to bash VPX, but I will say this - NO Shotgun is possibly the best-tasting pre-workout supplement I've encountered. The fruity taste was not overly sweet and was actually strong, unlike most powders. The profile on NO Shotgun contains a lot of nice ingredients; BCAAs, EAAs, citrulline malate, creatine, beta alanine, caffeine - pretty much everything you'd want in a pre-workout. In addition, it offers whey and casein protein, which is a nice touch, though unnecessary in my opinion. Although I enjoyed the focus this product provided, I was not a fan of the energy - even at half of a scoop, I felt jittery and had headaches, and I'm not exactly stimulant sensitive. Pumps were solid. I might not buy this, but I can see the benefits.

Skin tingling

I can't say enough good things about this product. Ofcourse, I am speaking from my own personal use. Shotgun with Synthesize stacked has worked very well for me. I have experienced tremendous gains in all my 1 rep max exercises. I feel very focused in the gym and have to time my gym time because I feel the urge to continue my training. I am on my 3rd jug and it works exactly as it did the 1st time i took it. I have cycled on/off for 6 months and my body has changed dramatically. Strenth in every exercise has went up as well as my stamina. When Iam not taking Shotgun I can feel a difference. My muscles defenitly get pumped and my veins pop out like crazy. This is a good product to add 15 20 pounds to your bench in a week.

The side effects have been mild for me. The first couple of weeks my skin tingles (mostly my face) I have alot of gas,a little trouble sleeping and a little mild acne on my shoulders. The price is well worth it and the taste is very tolerable, it kinda taste like my daughters fruit juice. I do sweat far more then when I am not taking it.
As far as weight gain I did gain about 8 pounds in the first week but that was all water retention. 6 months in I have hained about 25 pounds of lean muscle. Your body will change on this product.

Use it wisely, 1 scoop is all that is needed. Drink lots of water. My water intake while taking this product doubles.

NO Shotgun V.1 was the best pre-workout product I have ever tried.

The pump, focus, strength and engery from NO Shotgun were incredible. I would drink it roughly 30 min before my workout and about 15 in I would begin to feel the affects and by 30 min it was in full effect. I would feel increase body temp from the redline formula in it and in no time I would be sweating up a storm. NO Shotgun give you the little extra you need to complete one or two more reps and by the end your pump is MASSIVE.

Also another plus is that it contains protein for those working out upon waking in the morning or someone to busy to eat before their workout.

The one drawback is the TERRIBLE taste and I mean offensively bad. It felt like vomit mixed with a little bit of apple flavouring and would make me gag even if I chugged it (and that is the only escape from the taste). Be prepared.

EXCELLENT product

Let me start by saying, NO Shotgun is worth while *IF* you can find it at a decent price, as its retail price is not worth making the purchase. One thing i dont like about Shotgun is the shadyness of VPX labels. They tell you that there are 20 grams of protein per scoop, this is misleading in the sense that they are countin anywhere between 4-7 grams (i think those were the numbers) of it being creatine, then they probably count more for the amino acid value as well.

the product itself is good. I love the taste of exotic fruit (v3), definately one of the better tasting products available. The pump is pretty good, not as intense as i have experienced with some products, but thats good, because its not distracting.

the energy level is not off the charts by any means, but it gives enough energy to get me and keep me going throughout my workout.

Skin tingling

I have been using NO Shotgun for over a year now. It is effective for me now as when I first began using it. Everyone complains about the tast but I have found that using Crystal Light Fruit Punch individaul packets in a 12 ounce water bottle completely covers up the taste. I like it very cold as well. I drink about half 10-20 minutes before I hit the gym, then refill the bottle and sip the rest during the workout. This stuff has as much effect on your head (concentration and focus) as it does on your pump and energy. I occasionaly try other products when given to me by my local nutrition store but nothing has yet equaled Shotgun as a workout eneergy drink. Again, I have been using for over a year and NO SIDE EFFECTS.

I have gotten others to use it and all have agreed it is very effective. Some stop using it because it is TO effective for them, made them jittery. But most of my hardcaore friends are now using it as well and getting similar results as I am.

This is the worst tasting supplement ever. It is disgusting but works wonders in the gym. Outside the gym, this stuff sends you to the bathroom quicker than any other supplement as it tears up your stomach to make you race home after each workout. This product does what it says as it does increase your pump, vascularity, and intensity during the training session. In addition, this product's effects do not wear off quickly like other brands of pre-workout supplements. If you can stomach the upset feeling this product delivers, then it is well worth the money. It is also very hard to mask the taste of this product as it doesn't seem to mix well with anything. I tried juice, gatorade, water, milk, sweet tea...nothing seems to get this flavor out of your mouth; thus, forcing you to just tilt your head back and get it over with. Besides these two down sides of the product, this is a solid pre-workout supp.

Skin tingling

I have tried many pre-workout creatine/energy/NO booster blends and this has to be one of my favourites. I personally had an excellent pump every time I used it. The energy I felt from it was outstanding. I like the various ingredients in it and I can't complain about the profile. The taste wasn't a treat, but it was tollerable. It needs to be mixed in a shaker cup as I found it very difficult to mix in a glass with a spoon. There was alot of foamy residue on the top as well. I did get a tingly feeling about 10-15 minutes after I have a serving, but it usually goes away as my workout progresses. I also tend to get a 'crash' after my workouts with this product, but that goes with anything that has caffeine in it. All in all, this is a solid product.

If you are looking for a nitric oxide product then look no further than NO shotgun. This product will give you pumps and the energy of a monster! When I first took it I waited 30 minutes and I could see the veins already popping out so I was like "Its on lets lift". I picked up the weights and blasted up weight I would never have before. The energy boosting effects of NO Shotgun kept me awake and live throughout my whole workout. Thanks to this product I can finish my workouts with much more intensity and leave much more satisfyed. Some of the great results of this product is the pump, energy, strength, aggresion, physical energy and muscle gain that you experience. One warning though do not overdose on this product, I have heard people who taken too much servings like 3x the recommended amount and I have major heart palpitations. Best no product otherwise definatley go out and buy it!

I have been looking for a pre-workout pump for a while now and I’ve stumbled upon some products that didn’t really work. Some of these examples were NO-Explode, Superpump, ECT. and finally my friend told my about NO-Shotgun. I bought it and opened it and didn’t like the smell then I tried it before workout and the taste was horrible too. But I still gave it some hope thinking that taste wasn’t all that mattered. Once i got into my workout, I was benching more reps then I ever could! I definitely felt the pump and it really worked amazing for me.

I suggest you mix it with at least 10-12 oz. of water and blend it because it is hard to mix even with a shaker. Take about 30 min. before workout, and let it do the rest for you. If you really looking for a animal pump, NO-Shotgun is your best bet!

VPX NO-SHOTGUN

Preparation: Really easy to mix. I just put it in a shaker cup and shook for about 30 seconds. There was just a little bit stuck at the bottom but nothing a spoon or eating utensil couldn't remove. Really simple and easy to make.9/10

Ingredients/Macros: Man, this product is the real deal when it comes to a preworkout supp. It's calorie composition ratio is mostly due to proteins which is a plus on my book. It also contains a variety of aminos, and even a dose of caffeine to increase focus and alertness. Nothing wrong with the ingredient profile. Actually, IMO, real good. 9.5/10

Taste/Appearance: Some people may say that they have to chug NO-Shotgun, but I had no problems with the taste. Tastes like a bitter apple juice, nothing more. Actually pour in cold water and it is a really refreshing drink. One problem was that when one mixed it and shook it, there was an enormous amount of left over foam. IDK why, but there was. 9/10

Effects:

DAY 1: I took it about 20 mins before the gym, and let me tell you that I did not feel much out of it. Maybe a little caffeine rush but that's about it. I started thinking that this product might not be what some people say it is to be.

DAY 8: This time, I took the NO-Shotgun about 15 mins before the gym and about an hour after eating anything as a Preworkout meal. This time it seemed like the NO-Shotgun began to kick in, and I could feel more pumped and amped for lifting. But, it was not anything out of the extraordinary.

DAY 16: Man! Today, I was like a machine, I pulled a good 350+ of rack deadlifts midshin, and set a bunch of new PR's in my back routine. I did not feel as fatigued as when I usually did back, but afterwards I really was exhausted. This product is no joke. Yet, I did feel worn out and tired after the energy rush.

DAY 25: I took it during my leg day about 30 mins before just to play with the times and reaction, and nothing major occurred. Except that IDK, if it was my routine or the actual product that gave me such crazy pumps. My leg were FULL!!! This product, I believe, keeps getting better and better. Solid!

Overall Rating: 8.5/10. According to its effects and results during the last four days and according to its ingredient profile, this product is rated as such. I would like to thank VPX and Shana for the chance to let me review VPX NO-Shotgun Apple.

Just got this stuff from GNC today. I had previously used NO-Xplode. I thought Xplode was alright, gave me an energy boost for about 30 minutes but thats it. So i decided to try some of this Shotgun stuff i had been hearing so much about.

Price: is steep but wellllll worth it.

Taste: I wont lie to you. When i opened the container just the smell of this stuff made me want to hurl. I was afraid to drink it at all, but after mixing it with about 12oz of grape juice i barely even tasted it and it went down very well.

Mixability: I'd give it about a 7/10, spoon and glass did fine but there was still A LOT of particles that didn't dissolve.

Effectiveness: I have never had a workout anything like this at all. I work out at my house where i usually get extremely distracted and tend to take an extra long rest between sets. After taking NO Shotgun i was so focused and pumped after the first set i was like "F*** YEAH LETS DO IT AGAIN." My pumps came faster and lasted longer. My focus was outstanding as well, i didn't procrastinate at all.

Overall: 10/10 This product made my workout 10x better than i've ever had and its effectiveness outweighed any disadvantages.
