First of all big props to BlueRev and MuscleTech for selecting me to run a cycle of their brand new and innovative Test-HD + Creacore testosterone boosting stack and lacing me up good with a mt t/shaker cup to go along with it.

Muscletech stack
Creacore - Orange Fusion
Test HD Caplet
Will be on a stim break my first 2 weeks but I will add Nano Vapor to this stack at or around week 3.
-Muscletech Test-HD
-Muscletech Creacore
-Muscletech Cell-Tech
-Muscletech phase8 - protein
-MuscleTech Nano Vapor Pre
-BCAA-intra
As a Muscletech user for a while my first protein coming back was Nitrotech, first bulk from 150-170 was one tub of cell-tech hardcore series and also have been using phase8, so I've come to expect nothing but high quality and results ever since. I have not used Nano Vapor past a couple servings, so I'm also going to be reviewing it when I can and comparing creacore lemon lime to the new one. I just finished that tub so Ill be able to compare the two as well. I'll be giving honest and real reviews given my experience running Test-HD and Creacore as well and noting changes in overall mood/energy, sleeping habits, diet and any other variables.
Experience
About 2.5 years casual then had an 8 month or so layoff came back in March and havent stopped since.
Routine/Setup
Bench with leg extension, shorter curl bar and ez bar, support dumbbells, pullup combo tower, pushup grips. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done; I have a prototypical basic setup and a treadmill so expect a monotonous schedule, overlap and high volume.
I do not have specific split per se.
What a split might look like:
Arms/biceps - heavy, tricep/legs - light
Chest/Traps/shouders - medium
Arms/Tris - heavy traps/legs - high
legs/chin ups/biceps/core - high
rest* unless doms
Diet procedure
Bulking with about +200 surplus caloric intake. I dont have a competition-level rigid type of diet to speak of, but I have a calculated macro based on past diets. Test HD +Creacore.
Diet: I am free range about it but my macros stand at the medium-small meals (about 5), 1-2 protein shakes+oats a day.
Goals/Expecations
Gain lean pounds and muscle, and add copious amounts of sets/weight to my averages, since I basically upshot last year (started in March and havent stopped trying to see what type of new numbers I can post up. Started lifting pretty basic but then started going for more strength and core/compound. Currently working towards 180lbs as this is my second test cycle.

Thanks man it is a pretty sweet stack, looking forward to what this T-booster does alongside the others. yeah the caplet's not as big as it looks, might be the lighting and cam res and how close I got to it, giving it a more exaggerated effect for sure, slightly wider belly from a small-size capsule but Ill update the caplet measurement. One thing it doesnt have a ridge in the middle to split it in half, but I did pinch each end and split it manually without too much effort. Far as taste, I also grinded em up and I'd say sour level's abt 5/10 can blend with most liquids and not mess it up if you're wondering. Thanks for dropping a line.

thanks brah. me too this formula looks highly promising and it's MT so I really don't expect anythig less, quite a different formula for test boosters that I've seen, new compounds I didnt even hear about. just curious as to how it performs since it's the flagship test booster. I can tell ya already starting to get dry going on the 3rd day but have not lifted yet while on it so, its already looking solid. And creacore Ive been using as well as a huge fan of it and highly interested in the new flavors and how it comps Test-HD.

Updating from last two days
Log #1
Took my first dose Sat morning; got this one so i took it at night (didnt - wee hours when i woke up)
First impressions:
Test - HD
So I took 1 caplet in the morning. Then I took my second caplet mid-afternoon around lunchtime but didnt lift.
Impressions: It's a non-descript plain, white caplet, no inscriptions or anything to differentiate it. It also doesn't have a ridge in the middle to break it in half.
Creacore - Orange Fusion
Mix 9.3/10 - First I did notice it was actually orange and unlike lemon lime creacore (a brown sugar/syrup aroma). Used the stir method, about 8 swirls and most of it seemed to dissolve. Unlike oG lemon lime, this one had residue lingering at the bottom of my glass, which Ive seen with cell-tech orange, so I have to assume it's related to the flavor itself. Unlike og Lem/lime a 10/10 this one surprisingly less able to dissolve. Will be using shaker next time but nontheless surprised, the first time I took it I let it sit on the table for about 10 mins, I did that with OG and was not an issue at all.
Flavor 9.5/10 Tastes alright, it reminds me of metamucil crossed with an orange icicle. Its marginally better than lemon lime which was the only flavor available. I used the same amount of water I always did for lem/lime for orange-fusion, I had to add more water to dilute it. Surprised that the flavor was just as strong if not stronger than lemon-lime. Whereas the 4oz recommended was solid, I feel the need to always use 5-6 instead for orange fusion.. a step back from lemon lime in the sweeteners, and it doesnt dissolve as well.
Effects 10/10 - just as before no bloating or symptoms. Tangibly better libido that increased at a progressed rate (due to the Fenugreek natural test-boosting effect) increased strength with it and muscle fullness over time.Gabber Crew since 2005

Log #2 - 1 scoop creacore orange, 1 scoop celltech, one protein shake 2 scoop oats, slightly better vascularity.. starting to feel like I sleep better. Didnt lift either. Still noticing residue in creacore for whatever reason not entirely dissolving. It almost has that metamucil clump at the bottom. It's not that big, about a fingertip size amount, but still odd to say the least. Hopefully its just an orange fusion thing and not something that happens with the other ones. I like that it's a strong orange flavor and not a "laffy taffy" orange like cell-tech, but with that comes more sweetness.

Thanks for checking in man!
All good man ..although energy a bit hampered mental fatigue this weekend, but T-HD already helping out a bit on the sleep-recovery portion but more results to come obvi. Haha yeah the day I finished my tub of creacore I began the new one so I didnt miss a day. Yeah the best is yet to come for sure! Hope yall had a great wknd btw.
Far as how I'm dosing it,; workout days: 1 scoop creacore anytime before and 1 scoop cell-tech post-workout or as an intra w/ Xtend (because both are orange flavors I can do a cocktail and feel less bloated after taking protein), Ill post how I used it for that session.
Off days: same, just leave out the intra and take it at noon close to lunch or a couple hrs after breakfast. Wish I had Amino Build so this was a Muscletech-only stack lol. But...
Let the party begin!

Thats wassup. thanks guys!
Log #3 - took one in the morning for brunch long grain white rice, 2 baked tilapias, steamed veggies and strawberry-oats shake. One thing I noticed when I woke up, despite not lifting the last 3 days, I felt like I had gotten a deeper sleep. Additionally the way I know im drying up, is when I wake up hand-veins look like rivers from a satellite imagery, srs. Yes it's not full out yet, but from an the right angle hitting my hands I see these veins looking bumped.

for sure it is cant wait for the real work to come through and break all kinds of pr's with it man.
Same here man I did find I had to stir faster and vigorously than lemon lime. Starting to mix better the faster I stir it but lem-lime was damn effortless, still no grit to speak of which is why I really dig creacore HCLGabber Crew since 2005

You arent kidding man night and day, as great as it is to use stir method like I usually do (or funnel + water bottle and shaken up). I've needed to increase to 5-6 oz for Orange Fusion from my usual of 4oz with the OG to dilute it, but its all good. Im actually going to be doing some orange fusion creacore+orange cell-tech cocktails so Ill give you updates on that as well. Orange CT is also more flat and neutral and tastes like an orange laffy taffy. I was hoping to get orange to be able to do this bro and I did lol.

Sounds good tell me how that one went, havent been able to make this one yet. I did however make an Xtend orange dream + Cell-Tech orange cocktail as an intra (used shaker bottle 14oz~) and it really masked the chemical aftertaste of the Xtend a lot this combo really tastes good actually.
