GNC Amplified Mass XXX

So, I ran out of Whey. I had just been picking up EAS Whey from the grocery store. Well I decided to stop into GNC and see what they had. I picked up their Amplified Mass XXX powder. 6lb tub, was $50 bucks. Not bad I say to myself. I even noticed it had creatine, so I figured it would save me money because I was going to look for some of that too.

Got home, and saw that #1) they want me to use 4 friggen scoops per shake, so ill get 13 shakes out of my $50.00, and the creatine is at 3g per 4 scoops. Correct me if I am wrong, but generally one wants 6-10g per day? hm. Oh well, live and learn. It tastes amazing though.

I need to find some cheap whey, and some cheap creatine. Time to research!

You bought a weight gainer... congrats on wasting a ton of money on malto :)

Definitely don't buy GNC products if you want a good value. Even on their BOGO50% it's a ripoff for their home brand.

You want 3-5g of creatine per day, not 6-10g. That's way overkill.

Buy your protein online and save yourself a fortune.

[quote=Shadar]Xtreme Formulations makes the best tasting protein around. Ultra Peptide Whey for post workout, UP2 (or the original UP) for pre-bed. Very high quality protein sources and great taste. Similar price to ON.

ON has more flavor selection but the flavors are mostly not very good. They desperately need to redo most of their flavors. Stick to Milk Choc, Cake Batter or White choc imo if going with ON.

Muscle Gauge makes very inexpensive protein that tastes pretty decent. Very light flavoring. If you like potent flavor stay away. Cake Batter and Cinnamon are very popular, but none of their flavors seems to be horrible.

Myofusion is the final suggestion I'd make. It's got a few more calories than the other but it tastes very good (I'd put it right behind XF). It's a thicker shake and is competitively priced. Strawberry, Chocolate and Banana would be the flavors I suggest.[/quote]

Yeah lol. Well I see here anyway, ON 100% seems to be the most popular.
I also found a 5lb tub for $30 of whey at GNCs website, plus i'll get 20% off. I may do that next time, and then order creatine separately.

So if I want to use 2 scoops rather than 4, to make this stuff last longer, will 1.5g of creatine per day do anything?

If you're already at muscle saturation levels of creatine then it might be enough to keep you there... or close.

Your best bet is to buy a tub of creatine mono, it's very cheap and will let you supplement as much as you need.

Go back to GNC and exchange it for a 5lb. tub of whey and unflavored creatine monohydrate powder. You should be able to do this AND get like $5 back.

Ha too late, I already had a shake. I'll use this and buy smarter next time. REALLLY good taste though :)

You can still return it. Please, I've exploited their return policy far too many times to let someone else suffer. RETURN NAO.

If you have your receipt you can still return it.


It better taste good with the **** load of calories it has in it.

hm I will go back tonight before they close :)

Only time I'll buy weight gainers/proteins from GNC is stuff thats expiring in a couple months...

(e.g., I got 10 lbs of MRI's weight gainer for $17 a couple weeks ago)

Awesome, I ended up buying a 2lb container of 100%, and used the extra money for 1000g of creatine mono.

There ya go. You still probably could have done better... my GNC has their 5lb. 100% Whey for $32.99.. but you're MUCH better off now, anyway.

if i was to take just one scoop of amplified mass xxx will i gain weight? im not trying to gain just trying stuff out...

No. It takes time to pack on good weight.

no i've tried it you have to use it correctly using just one scoop is nothing even on your non training day you shouldn't just consume one scoop of the amplified mass xxx

thanks but will it work the same a protein?

I see you guys say ON is the best whey stuff, but what about as a weight gainer? I'm 130 5'10" and just trying to pack weight, any kind of weight.

It was bought as a muscle masser stuff by my gf, she was under the impression that all whey protein is the exact same and just get the cheapest stuff. I'm not sure if she didn't realize the more scoops needed or not (so that means this stuff has half the proten in it as other stuff?).

I'm quite confused by the replies here, they all seem kinda snobby without explaining anything.

I really have no clue what you are trying to say or what this meme means. Is it bad to want to save money? I have no idea what creatinine even is for.

How would you compare ON whey with Nitrotech? Been reading a lot of good reviews on ON here. But what about Nitrotech?

If you are to keep taking AMP Mass XXX, don't take all 4 scoops at the same time. No way you're body is going to absorb all of that protein. I've used that one in the past and what I've done is split it up with 2 scoops post workout and 2 scoops before bed.

Wat??


I know posting in a old thread

So I want to ask, if a woman was to take GNC Mass XXX just to gain weight w out really working out, how much should she take ? She weighs about 95lbs and its not because she is unhealthy, its just her natural metabolism.

I just bought it last week and im so confused i found a big ass scooper in it and that is suppose to mix with 16 oz of milk!?!? It would be so chalky? Wouldnt it instead i take 1 scoop so it is normal amd easy to shake and stuff like that.. I wonder if thats even right
