First of all, let me start off by saying that this comparison is purely based on the numbers. I'm not here to compare which ones works better, I really don't care because you can hear a million different opinions in a million other posts. If that's what you want then use the nifty little search feature.
Nobody cares what you think about their advertisements or the claims they make. Saying "dat dere Cell-Tech" is old, and makes you look foolish. And we REALLY don't care if you make your own creatine mix, if you can't afford the real deal then don't bother slamming a product. I don't use CellMass or Cell-Tech so I am just going to get to the point now.
And we all know sugars/dextrose/etc. all make creatine intake much better. Leave it alone.
BSN CellMass
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bsn/cell.html
1.4lbs (640g), $36.95, 40 servings
3g creatine ethyl ester malate, maltodextrin, sucralose
MuscleTech Cell-Tech
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mt/cell.html
2.0lbs, $23.79, 10 servings
4.3lbs, $39.99, 20 servings
6.7lbs, $57.49, 30 servings
10g creatine (creatine mono, dicreatine malate, creatine alpha-ketoglutarate), dextrose, various vitamins/minerals, taurine, alpha lipoic acid
Comparing weight this means to equal Cell-Tech, BSN CellMass would cost:
4.3lbs @ $113.49 (compared to $39.99 for Cell-Tech)
6.7lbs @ $176.83 (compared to $57.49 for Cell-Tech)
Not to mention any extra shipping costs to get those extra bottles of CellMass.
"But CellMass has 40 servings! Haha!". Yes it has 40 servings, but you are required to take 2 servings per day. This equals 20 real servings.
Comparing the cost of creatine per gram, it works out like this:
Cell-Tech 2.0lbs - (100g creatine) 23.8 cents per gram
Cell-Tech 4.3lbs - (200g creatine) 20.0 cents per gram
Cell-Tech 6.7lbs - (300g creatine) 19.2 cents per gram
CellMass 1.4lbs - (120 g creatine) 30.8 cents per gram
Cell-Tech suggests a loading phase for one week. CellMass claims no loading required. I won't argue the idea one way or the other because there is a pile of research for and against loading creatine. Do whatever works best for you.
Another interesting fact, on the BSN website they claim that CellMass' patent-pending CEM3 blend is "no bloat, no load, no cycle". But about 2 inches to the right of that claim the product specs suggest a minimum cycle of 6 weeks, optimal cycle of 12 weeks, and cycling off for 4 weeks. No cycle eh?
Winner: MuscleTech Cell-Tech
Now lots of people have made good gains on CellMass. And lots of people have made good gains on Cell-Tech. It's a matter of personal preference and some people are just non-responders to one or the other. But so many people complain about the cost of Cell-Tech, well just look at CellMass, much worse.
*All costs based on BodyBuilding.com listed prices as of 08/31/2006.
End of story. Flame on all you reps, trolls and shills.

Dude the sugar is cell tech alone f***s up your kidneys. I am however looking foward to see what they have going with nitro-tech hardcore and cell-tech hardcore that they are working on.

monohydrate is more proven..but i said that CEE's absorbtion rate is higher than monohydrate

Creatine mono + 75g dextrose (the proven optimal dose) absorbs much faster than creatine ethyl ester.

hey stix why did u neg rep me???
cell tech is overpriced
cell tech hage huge amounts of sugar
they make outrageus claims that they cant back up
spend all their money on advertising instead of the product itself
muscletech already have a pretty bad reputation
their creatine mono is no better than any other product, infact in mine and alot of other peoples opinions cee is much more effective
they say they have ala(but scaming as they r it is mostly "s" type ala wich is practically useless compared to "R" type ala)

Shill
This guy is clearly a shill.
Read this post:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...68&postcount=6
That is such a bad comparison, it is just awful.
300g Monohydrate = ~$7
2100g Dextrose = ~$5
Homebrewed Cell Tech can cost $15 tops for 30 servings. I personally do not see the need just for ALA or Chromium.
Cell MASS gives you 6g CEE daily, with close to 500mg Cinnulin-PF, which is very expenisve and good post-Workout, for $25-35.
Both product's aren't top notch IMO.

Plenty of people love CellMass, plenty of people love CellTech. All I did was compare some numbers.
Not being a shill, I recommend anyone go read the post this random newbie linked to.

CEE is absorbed better, but yeah for those who love mono but who would rather buy Cell Mass are just being haters on Muscle Tech. Cell Tech is fine if you take it post workout. I don't see why people complain about the sugar. Just use common sense. Anyway, I wouldn't use it because CEE is apparently the only kind of creatine that I've tried that has worked for me. I have beef with BSN though so I'm lookin to buy CEE AKG (a blend of two highly absorbably creatines)

So, bad comparison, and much more while we are going at it. Anyone who does not see this is blind.

The other character might be.
Also, he denied my permission to start a poll.
Looking at his bodySpace, he has two people. Deserusan is possibly affiliated with MuscleTech, and the second character seems to be on a similar bandwagon.
Take a look for yourself. I am here to point out what is already there.

cell tech is an awesome creatine if your going for the classic lets get fat and bloated offseason look.(which ive gotten most overall gains from) but most people go for the poster boy image and dont even care about competing so they have the typical goal of wanting to be 6' 200+ with 8%. lee priest use to do this all the time. sure its harder to diet but hey you get the best overall gains.

All the evidence I need is right on the boards.
I am not affiliated with any company either. You can run a check on my IP address. Either way, it is of no difference because you're the one that needs to prove yourself tonight.

Thats exactly what I am saying. Cell Tech is loaded on Sugar, so it clearly packs more weight.

I'll moderate this debate because it is funny. For all you guys claiming CEE is absorbed faster than creatine monohydrate and dextrose please provide us with your data. Also, please provide with data that CEE is both safe and effective in athletes.............
