Why people dislike MuscleTech!
8.4lbs in 14 days??..........................I call major bull****. Study Results?????? I am curious what steroids/pro hormones the test subject was on in conjunction with this product. Maybe then I could understand those gains.

ALL their friggin money goes into Advertisement instead of research and testing!
They have a new ****in product out like every 2 days lol
For the price they charge for their products, i might as well just go and buy some real juice!
Muscle Tech can lick balls!

no their ad claims you CAN gain UP to 8.4lbs muscle. They never said you'd gain 8.4lbs of pure muscle

I hate them because they're claims are so outrageous it's funny.
and I don't think the test subject used any roids or prohormones that gained the 8.4 lbs he probably just used cell-tech

It just bothers me that people fall prey to their misleading ads, overpriced and over hyped-products when there are much better science-based products and companies with better business ethics.
I am a fan and supporter of many companies, but currently Ergopharm, MAN Sports and Athletic Edge Nutrition are among the leaders in meeting my high demands and expectations in nearly every way. Put your money into companies you want to see improve the industry.
One of the best knowledgeable and no BS guys in this industry I am after learning is def. Patrick Arnold, the genius behind Ergopharm.
If you are on the boards for awhile you will realize Ergopharm has some of the most effective and innovative products, while at the same time they are the least hyped up on this forum.

Indeed, but if we can keep newbies from falling for MT's dejecta, then it's worth it.

Are Muscletech and GNC part of the same company or something. Because they both do major pushes for each other. Or is it simply the fact they can charge alot more in store.

True. I fell for it when I first started, and didn't have the ability to research products online, and had no friends that were using any products other than MT.
Hopefully people have more assets at their disposal to find out what a product is worth before they buy it.

The fact of the matter is that with the internet you can do so much more research and gain a ton of knowledge as opposed to years ago. Back when I was 16 there wasnt really any way to find out information except by reading muscle magazines and just flat out trying them.
People got it good these days

Great points. The internet is an AMAZING tool and anyone can now research and learn as much as possible. Some of the reason you now have a portion of the public knowing as much or more than some dietitians, doctors, etc... when it comes to up to date nutrition and supplement research. These days it almost comes down to who has more time and passion.

I dislike MT as much as the next guy but you have to admit they are smart when it comes to marketing. So many guys at my gym used to rave about Cell Tech so I gave it a go. I threw my guts up after downing it. Never again.

Can you comment on any products in particular?
PS not being a smart arse, just curious since I haven't read many positive things about MT.

I think their biggest problem is the marketing. But in reality it really does work. Their sales increased by a few hundred percent by just adding the word "Hardcore" to everything.
Why do you think Leukic, Creakic, and Gakic are all changing. They are gonna make bank. I dont fault a company for making profits, but yes an informed consumer will see through their claims.
But profit and marketing is what every company is about. I bet if there weren't all these forums alot more people here would be using their stuff.

which of their products is made from less quality ingredients than say Gaspari, Controlled Labs, Designer Supps, Activate Xtreme...etc?
Do they not have in their product EXACTLY what they claim to have? As far as I know, this has NEVER been an issue with MT unlike MANY other supplement companies.

I enjoy their Gakic however the taste is horrendous.
Their Leukic is a great source of Leucine if you have the $ to afford it...I do not so I would prefer to supplement with bulk Leucine.
Their nitrotech is a solid protein powder with a few added goodies than many others don't include. Again, it is still too expensive for me to justify purchasing it.

OH NOES! MT IS HORRENDOUS! THEY USE CONCENTRATE A BIT MORE THAN THEY USE ISOLATE! BURN THEM AT THE STAKE!
Oh come on bro! Besides POSSIBLY farts, have you noticed any difference between using a blend of Isolate/Concentrate as opposed to Concentrate/Isolate?
And you have NOTHING to say in response to the other products? you just want to bash a supplement company because its the "cool thing to do"

muscletech is expensive. no one is arguing that. why should they lower the price if people are buying their products more than ANYONE elses product?
