Any comments on N.O. Boosters such as Force Factor? Has anyone had any success?

I believe that is the active ingredient in Viagra and Cialyis. So although I haven't used NOB's, I would be careful.

Viagra contains an enzyme that increases blood flow in the penis. Cyalis is about the same. But didn't know that for NO products!

And now wait for the spam!!

My understanding of these products is that they give you a 'pump' effect which I'm not really bothered about, I'm only interested in putting on muscle. I don't think they make any particular claims on this front. They seem like (yet another) massive waste of money to me.

Something that boosts your mentality and agressiveness in the gym is not necessarily bad,but I think that NO products are way overpriced . 1000 times my money on glutamine and creatine.

I agree, but good motivation is free of course A caffeine boost has always worked for me so I have a cup of coffee or a red bull on the way home from work if I think I might be flagging by the time I get home. On my way home I start mentally preparing what exercises I'll be doing, etc. Then by the time I'm home, I'm completely focussed. The NO products I've seen are as you say, seriously over priced!!

Yes,caffeine is a very effective stimulant.And if you are not addicted it's way more effective when used just for the gym.

I think they are worthless personally. They cost a ton and do little in terms of providing real world results other than the mental satisfaction of an increased pump. Also basically all of them need to be taken on an empty stomach right before workout, which is quite counterproductive. Increased energy and pump is all well and good but you'd probably get better results just following correct pre-workout nutrition with whole foods instead of going hungry during your workout with nothing but water and powder in your belly.

Thirty dollars will get you enough caffeine powder online to last you for years. Take a hit of that before the gym, and you'll have all the rage you need - don't waste your money on the other stuff.
