    MuscleTech's revamped products?

    Was having fun on the net next think im looking at the new formulas of the products from muscletech remembering how their old products were garbage and one product caught my eye. Their new Anabolic halo seems to look like a really good Post Workout product and was looking for your guys opinions on it and their revamped products and their new CellTech (being srs) haha thanks guys.


    This is the Anabolic Halo Ingredient list.

    Honestly I think muscletech isn't worth the price.

    Id rather spend money on food or tried and true supplements. Just my opinion.

    Food > supplemets.
    I tried the old halo, junk, cell tech, junk, nano vapor, major junk.. Ive come to the conclusion most products are just a money grab.

    Simple products that aren't over hyped more often are actually pretty good

    The stuff that you really need is pretty cheap.

    Caffeine tabs pre workout, creatine mono, protein powder, glucose or maltodextrin!

    You don't need super pricy blends!

    They are trying to come back. GNC has Muscletech's new line "Epiq" which they are only pushing because the margins on it are good.

    I didn't mean don't take any supplements. I still take a multi, caffeine pre workout, and bcaa occasionally. All I meant was I used to buy everything under the sun. Pre intra post bed time sleepy powder rala blah blah.. Wish I could go back and not waste so much cash

    Its not that the Muscletech line is that bad it's just often over priced and WAY over hyped.

    Problem is the proprietary blend they have in them. U don't know how much of what is in those blends. Is there 1 or 100mg of x product in that "blend"

    GNC only pushes 3rd party products when they get a good PM (GNC talk for commission) for the product. And technically they're only supposed to push one of those if they get you to purchase 2 P3 items and an OMS (those nasty Starburst-like sups at the counter).

    The salesmen don't give a flying fvck about margin in there. In fact when I worked there, I don't recall ever hearing the word "margin" while I worked there. Of course their P3 items and multi-vitamins give them the best margin, and that's what they require their employees to sell the majority of.

    They don't make shit on those shitty starbursts. They are required to get 10% sales on that garbage.

    I only deal with gnc franchise owners only. This is what they told me. Corporate stores are a whole different animal. I am talking about the epiq line only. Most franchise owners by direct from manufacturers to increase margins that nutrimarket robs them

    I was fired from gnc because I gave my honest opinion of products and woildent push some of the garbage off brand companies they were trying to sell... PMD Celluclor bs... All that crap was junk IMO honestly the only OTC pre workout I've really liked was no explode... I just got some white flood yesterday tho and well see how that goes. Actually looking for a post workout shake other then the whey I use now I'm subscribed and interested in nano vapor

    Ya right franchise gnc's are the biggest crock of shit... They push second rate companies because they get huge margins. Then they bash bsn, muscle tec, and all other huge known product lines. I was fired because I woildent tell people I liked Celluclor or PMD. I didn't even care I was getting a lower pm, I just wanted to give honest advice

    I remember quitting over the fact that they were yelling at me for selling the products that make me PMs and not even bothering with the P3 items. I was flat out "I don't give a fvck about KPIs I just care about money" So I ended up getting another job with the same hours that paid more per hour.

    I like the original Jack3d. They rarely ever keep it in stock though. They usually just get that jack3d micro shit.

    Their supplements aren't bad at all but are they worth the price? I'm not sure. Cell Tech for example at my local nutrition store is something like $70 & all it is is creatine & sugar. I spend $10 on a cheap nasty tasting bulk creatine $1 on a bag of skittles & there's my postworkout. I'm being serious too...

    To cause a blood sugar spike and replenish glycogen while driving protein and other nutrients into your muscle.... Important fact to note is drinking protein immidiately post workout and 25min later hitting carbs because when you raise your blood sugar you slow the release of gh which is really high up to 30 min post workout
