Q: I want to gain a good deal of muscle before next basketball season. i need to advance my spead and verticle to the next level. i have been working out alot but want that extra boost. my friends tell me that NO-Explode could do jus that. i have optimum whey and was wondering if NO-xplode would pack on some muscle and make it stay?

A: See my response in http://www.mikesfitness.com/content/no-xplode-creatine about no-xplode. For basketball-specific training look into plyometrics. Unfortunately I haven't got around to adding a plyometrics section to this site, but I would recommend this book if you are serious about improving your basketball performance.
