Muscletech

Ok guys, a bunch of us are stuck over here in the desert (location is classified of course) and all we have at our BX (Base Exchange) is muscletech crap...hydroxycut, celltech, nitrotech, etc....after reading all the crap about how it sucks...any recomendations?....38.99 for 4.2 lbs of cell tech...
Also, when I get back (in May, thank God), I would like to continue using my juicer for pre and post workout drinks....some apple, pineapple, cantelope, carrot, and strawberry juice with some creatine and whey powder mixed in. Will that be a a good substitute for maltodextrin and dextrose?

Thanks....all we got to do over here is workout...

i'm a big user of AST Research products... but also Optimum Nutrition and Prolab are some good brands as well....

save your money and stay away from muscletech products

your juicer idea sounds great... you'll be getting all the natural sugars - sucrose, fructose - from the fruit which will help boost your insulin for maximum creatine uptake - there's also new research that a pre workout protein shake is just as effective as a post workout... so do both!!! the carbs in the fruits will prevent your body from using the whey as energy

hope all is well

come home safely

Wish you all the best and pray for your safety daily Rawdog. Might want to check with BB.com here and see if they will ship to an APO/FPO, don't see why they wouldn't. If not and MT is all you got then thats what will have to do. It works, just not up to label and advertising claims, and it is pretty spendy for what you get. You'll ain't missing much back here, just a ****load of rain!

AAFES

Hey talk to the guys at the BX and see if the can get any other brands in stock, I know they carry ProLab and Twin Lab as well as EAS. They might be able to get a shipment in on a rotation aircraft or an inbound MAC flight. If not atleast you'll be back real soon.....

Good Luck and Stay Safe
