Hey everyone, just wanna start out by saying that this is a great site. I've been working out for over a year now and I had some greatly resulsts in the first 6 months using weight gainer and creatine. My weight had gone from 142 to 166. After that i stopped using creatin and lost about 10 pounds which was probably water anyways. I have not been able to make any progress for a long time eevn though i eat a lot more and change my workouts frequently and rest alot. I read about ecdsterone on this site and it said that it would help me put on some muscle. SO i went out and bought Ecdyvone by Prolab. I just wanted to know if anyone has every tried this particular supplement or any other supplement containing ecdysterone and the results they got from it. I would like to learn how and when to take it for best results too. Also, I want to know if it is ok to take creatine with it because i have a lot of creatine left from before. It is creatine monohydrate by Interactive if this makes any difference. I would really appreciate any information or suggestions.

Well first off, it sounds like you have been gaining some good quality mass so far, so congraduations on that.
Second, let me just say that the general consensus on ecdysterone is that its pretty much junk. Even if it does work, you have to use it in high levels for it to work sufficiently.
My supplement recommendation for you is what I generally recommend to everyone, and it is as follows:
-Syntrax Swole v2
-Multivitamin (any will do)
-Optimum 100% Whey Protein
-EFAs from flax or fish oil
-Optional: post workout drink in a premix, or just buy some maltodextrin and add it to your post workout shake
Look into bumping up your calories and changing your training and that combination should work very well for gaining some additional weight.
Finally, if you decide to use an ecdysterone product, use Syntrabol by Syntrax. It has the best feedback of any I've read about.

true true pogue. I just stopped telling peole that in order for it to be effective you need high doses like 2-5mg per lb. of body weight, but hardly anyone believed, but still even to get that amount that is major $$$$ that can be better spent you know?

transdermal is where u rub it into ur skin so it absorbs better right in the blood stream.

where can i get maltodextrin w/o ordering it off the internet and waiting for it to ship?
Go to any health food store in your area, a company called NOW makes it for around 2-3 bucks for a 2 lbs. bag, as well as dextrose, fructose maltose etc."Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today."
