cell-tech

[taufeedawg1]

I was looking at the allsportsnutrition store and saw cell-tech from muscletech. Is this stuff any good?

[UpstateTank]

overpriced

[Fordfan01]

agreed very overpriced but i think it is a very good supp try looking for a non name brand its all the same pretty much

[taufeedawg1]

alright, thanks.

works really well for putting weight on, I gained 12 pounds off of one bottle, its all water weight though, youll lose it all when you come off, so IMO I wouldnt use it, its really a waste of money if you think about it.

[Shane35aa]

Most of MuscleTech products are overpriced IMO. If you could make gains they advertise would be a good deal. Their one protein mix says 14 lbs muscle I think it was in 2 months... must have d-bol as ingredient

[taufeedawg1]

Lol.

[KAEW44]

Vitargo-CGL by Nutrex is a far superior product for gains, its mostly volumizing effect but the strength gain is amazing for both weights and sports, i was manhandling everyone in Jiu-Jitsu when i was on that stuff.
If you used it on AAS cycle you will definetly blaot up like a balloon but probably make more gains since more nutrients and gear will be driven to your muscles .

sweet.

unflavored whey+dextrose+creatine+koolaid= cell tech


In other words, make your own for a lot less money and it will even taste better.

Taste is every thing. Well to some extent any way.

Muscle tech put some weight on me, but I would have to agree it was all water weight and the stuff was way overpriced.

I always use it for carb loading... the mixture of dextrose, creatine and some other stuff helps top off glycogen. Could you make a similar product yourself - or find one equally helpful for less money? Probably...

Horrible product. 75grams of sugar.

That is a lot of freackin sugar. Are they trying to kill you.

Whats wrong with 75grms of sugar, if your using it PWO its perfect man.

Are you suggesting that there is no application for 75 grams of dextrose in a bodybuilder/athletes diet?

I've always found 75 grams of sugar excessive, and i'm sure its not high quality dextrose they are using.... and what 'bodybuilder' do you know actually uses Muscletech products.....come on..

taufeedawg1, here is a tip - don't worry so much about brand names dude... just stick to companies that have a decent track record versus new, unproven names. Nothing wrong with MuscleTech. But your primary concern should always be what is on the back of that label - not the front. If you hear of a supplement and you want to consider trying it, look at the ingredients... thats what you should be keeping track of - not brand names... but what it is that you are consuming and how best apply it to your workout.

The primary ingredients found in Cell Tech are dextrose and creatine; with some other supportive stuff - basically, it's going to help you spike endogenous insulin and begin the repair/recovery processes in the body. This typically works best right after a workout - to combat cortisol and keep the body anabolic.

All the sugar (dextrose) will add water weight - especially if you are currently overtrained and under-nourished... or if you have been limiting carb intake in general. Glycogen uptakes around 2.7 grams of water with each gram it stores... Creatine also uptakes with water... the net result means you could easily fill out with this. If you are glycogen depleted - intentionally or otherwise - it is easy to swing 10 pounds depending on your current lean body mass. Does this water, glycogen supercompensation and extra creatine uptake affect training? Hell yes - it can help you aerobically and anaerobically... cardio or resistance training... having topped off glycogen and creatine helps better prepare you for a physically demanding workout... period.

Products like this are also good to use in tandem with exogenous insulin use... they can keep you from going hypo. But thats prolly not for your concern at all.

Now, if you have too much bodyfat - than this is generally not something to take everyday - but perhaps once a week to carb up before going back to a hard training week that restricts calorie/carb intake.

WOW.
That is some good stuff. That is the kind of advice I am looking for here. Thanks a bunch.

yeah I dont know too many bodybuilders on muscle tech. But that is not a ton of sugar for a bodybuilder definitely not going to kill anyone
