is it okay if u take both kre-alkalyn/creatine at the same time with L-carnitine? is it making any sense stacking these 2 supplements??

Saw a women buying RM2000 worth of supplement at GNC today. 15 assorted bottles of supplement I wonder how she eats them. I guess breakfast should be vitamins platter, lunch should be oil shake and dinner would be minerals buffet. Wonders why people eat like shit and take supplement as main meal, the name itself is supplement. Phunny as phuck. No actually I'm jealous cause I can't afford it.

You mean she bought liek this?

Okay. Back to the topic at hand.
Taste is as big a factor as profile in my book, though some can just force stuff down and it becomes a non-issue. You give me the best supplement profile there is, and if it tastes like piss it's no good to me. What I can't get down can't get used.


Proteins :
ON Whey - Used to be my staple source of protein.
A lot of people swear by the chocolate flavour, I don't think it's chocolaty enough. Just don't look forward to it, and will resort to gulping it down. Rocky road and vanilla is just okay. Strawberry tastes very artificial, total no go for me. Mocha cappucino I would rate as the second best flavour they have, with chocolate mint taking the cake.

5/10
It does it's job for the price tag. And that's what's important. But I've moved on, and don't think I'll be looking back.


Scivation Whey - Grabbed a tub as backup.
Only one tub used, whey is whey and didn't notice any difference effect wise as compared to ON. The chocolate flavour tasted much better than ON, and it has a certain amount of sweetness in it. I would look for this first before ON Whey.

6/10
Taste edges it over the gym-goer standard whey.


Cytosport Musclemilk - Hmmm.
I really don't know where to start with this one. Chocolate flavour tasted different. Different in a good way, though it's still behind Syntha-6 and Myo. Effect wise, nothing out of the ordinary. Which makes it expensive considering the price.

4/10
Something different for the tastebuds, debatable everywhere else. Price is expensive for the effect.


Syntha-6 - Used this when I switched from whey to blends.
Coming from ON Whey, this tasted out of this world. The price hike from whey to blend isn't too painful and the taste more than makes up for it. Protein per serving dropped when switching, and it can get expensive when making up with additional scoops. Chocolate tastes like chocolate ice-cream, strawberry tasted the best among all the brands. Chocolate mint is great, banana is iffy at best. Had decent gains on this.

8/10
Used to swear by this until Myo came along.


Myofusion - Reigning king in my book.
I would rate Myo having a better protein profile over Syntha-6, though I suspect Myo has a higher fast digesting protein ratio than Syntha-6 as I seem to get hungry faster on Myo. Chocolate is think and yummy, toe to toe with Syntha-6's choc depending on what you like. Strawberry tastes a little artificial. Vanilla is okay, got some issues with choc peanut butter and I feel it's too much peanut and too little choc. No problems with Myo, it's the new standard in my book.

9/10
I got four 5lbs tubs in my kitchen now.

Cellmass - Stacked this with NO-Xplode
Hmm, recovery was there but I wonder if I would've gotten the same result with just creatine mono. I suspect I would. Nothing to write home about, except it's bleedingly expensive.

3/10
Ain't working for me.


Universal Creatine Mono - Just plain basics.
Refined, powdery and works as it should. Creatine mono in it's basic form.

6/10
Normal rating for normal creatine.


Egonutritions Creatine Mono - Cheaper alternate
Clumpy, lumpy and you gotta knock it outta the scoop everytime. It's one redeeming quality is that it is cheap....er.

5/10
You get what you pay for. Creatine is creatine, I doubt the lumpiness makes a difference?



Pre-WO :
NO-Xplode - First NO product for me
Effect is probably amplified by the fact it was my first pre-wo supp, so don't take it at face value. Gave me the best kick-in-the-face effect and great energy in the gym. Could just go on and on like the duracell bunny. Effects started to taper off as usage continued, by the time I was halfway through the tub I didn't get any noticeable kick from it. Pumps were good. Fizzy grape flavour, I like.

7/10
Works for me, but the effects wearing off with use is a downside.


MRI Black Powder - Placebo effect?
First use gave me some hope, but with every continued use it seemed not to have any effect whatsoever. And that's just after 2-3 uses. Nothing. Maybe my body just doesn't react well with it. Cheap orangy flavour like what I used to get from the school canteen. Iffy at best for me.

3/10
Not for me


Gaspari Superpump MAX - Does the job
Does what it advertises. Good pick me up, gives the 'ready to hit the iron' feeling. Constant focus, no fuzziness even at the end of the workout. Strength levels didn't change though, but finished my workout much faster and the cardio at the end lasted 50% longer. I only stopped because I didn't want to overdo it and my showlace is untied. **I stacked this with X-tend though** Downsides? There's a shitty after taste that I can only describe as...shitty. I'm using grape.

Update : Don't feel it anymore after half the bottle.

5/10



Intra WO :
Scivation X-tend - Finish line worthy
Noticed a difference when I started using it. Constant flow of energy for me means no compromised workouts, even the cardio at the end which I sometimes skip if I crash during the workout. A good workout means I'm happy. Watermelon is fine!

8.5/10
Great for recovery.

new xtend is coming to town, can't wait!

http://www.scivation.com/products/xtend.htm

from wat i gathered so far:

1. less scoop required.
2. electrolyte added.
3. taste has changed slightly (not sure good or bad).

i'm also looking forward for it !

but price increased....zzz

add a pinch of salt n some lemon juice.... u got electrolyte

guys my nitrotech hardcore pro series is finishing, should i opt for a change to myo fusion or any other protien shakes?

i havent really tried them all but i'm ok with nitrotech but i could be missing out haha

mayb trying to test the market 1st.

change brand. save you alot of money. myofusion so far is the best for me, price wise and taste wise. 25g per serving too, can't beat tat.

P.S. close the other thread. one is enough to answer ur question.

my superpump250 finished already.
what should i try next?

jack3d of the new superpump max?
anyone tried both? which do you prefer?

duh, i'm just starting, how should i know
*googled: 56 servings

Added on July 22, 2011, 11:38 pmi'm looking to get myo too as it gets recommended alot, but gonna try it myself to know

good review dude.
those myo gonna last long ha2
mix 1 scoop jack3d with superpump max for extra oomphh. i might getting jack3d in august, give u cheap2

mixing them?

Can't bro, heard Jack3d is full of stim. I workout at night so too much stim is an issue.
Heard Superpump Max has reduced stim compared to 250, that's why I gave it a test drive.

But mixing jack3ed and superpump must be one helluva kick.

Just tried my Xtend watermelon flavour, personally the taste is great.. taste like bubble yum chewing gum watermelon flavour XD

is Jack3D that dangerous? i am abit worried after i bought it :S

just dont drink it overdosed or drink it mix with liquor/beer.. some dude died drinking it to get high for parties...

Anyone tried Dymatize Super Amino 4800mg? Would like to get some feedback here b4 trying it.

if take protein shake morning and before sleep. post workout oso need 1 or 2 scoops?

myofusion i am looking at now
