I was at vitamin shoppe today and they had it on sale for $49.99. I was thinking that they were just overpricing it, but I checked on BB.com and it is still $47.99.
I look at this stuff and it is only 30 servings. I see that it says you only need to take it once per day, so that isn't terrible. But wouldn't I still need to supplement with some bulk creatine or something?
I may be willing to give this stuff a try due to all of the great logs, and results, but what do you all think of this product? I am kind of comparing it to Storm, which was going to be my next creatine purchase.
UN's Storm is under $30, has 80 servings (two a day one workout days and one on off days would mean it lasts almost 7 weeks... two or three longer than Size-On.)

Size-On is expensive, is it worth it? (Vs. Storm)

SizeON = $35-$38 if you look in the right legit places online... Google is your friend, just type in SizeON. SizeON has enough creatine in it, supplying yourself with extra is unecessary.

Size-on does work, but I found all the dextrose and maltodextrine in it really made me bloated, so I didn't even finish the last 10 or so servings. Honestly, I think you're way better off with pure CEE which is CHEAP. Just take a heaping teaspoon immediately post workout and you're all set. You can take it on off days if you want first thing in the morning, but post workout is really all you *need* IMO. Taste of pure CEE is very bad, so have something to chase it with on hand.

I have not used size on yet (I have a container sitting here, soon)
Storm is the best value (aside from bulk) in creatine, 80 servings for $27 and it's not just creatine, it's an NO booster as well, it tastes great and works great!Free Agent

I really don't like buying bulk too much. Look at the price of Storm, it is comparable to bulk and you get a flavoring system, precise measurements, and a whole bunch of added helpful ingredients.Originally Posted by MindOverMuscle
Bulk supps are overrated if you ask me. They can be quite a hassle.

I have not tried Storm before but I would recommend SizeOn. If you do not have a lot of money to spend on supplements go with storm then, many people have seen results using storm.

06-20-2006, 08:54 PM #7"1 scoop" thats not too precise. not as precise as the digital scale i use to weigh my bulk supplements that i paid 1/3rd the price for :POriginally Posted by bosox1362Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
But I'm debated disputed hated and viewed in America
as a motherf**kin drug addict - like you didn't experiment?
Now now, that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
and see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrased

I personally have tried them BOTH and to be honest, I had better results with STORM.Originally Posted by bosox1362
However, we all knoweveryone responds differently to supps. Both are solid products though. Good luck with your decision.
That was just my .02

storm is the best volumizer you can buy. and for the price to seriving ratio, i dont see why anyone would buy anything else

I have used sizeon with great strength gains. Now im on the shock/storm stack and it is producing similar results, just with better pumps and focus. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either choice, it just comes down to the money you are willing to spend.
