Havn't bought because have a huge stock or not using. I have been contemplating stopping and cutting back my supplement use.

I checked my go-to and it's $54 for a 200 serving tub. So it's roughly around that price.

Creatine can still be found on the cheap if you look around.
[QUOTE=crpav;1655037173]Havn't bought because have a huge stock or not using. I have been contemplating stopping and cutting back my supplement use.[/QUOTE]
serious question, why would you stop creatine? We have more and more data that it has so many benefits outside of its muscle-building effects. It is something probably every human on the planet could benefit from taking, and I mean at the least, there are no sides and it's cheap?
whats a good intraworkout carb product to take. I train 4am fasted so I want to try one out to see if it makes a difference workout wise
[QUOTE=Jdot5;1655111183]whats a good intraworkout carb product to take.

Question is, what are you looking for an intra workout drink to contain? What's your price range?

Most guys will say cluster dextrin, I prefer Karbolyn. HBCD just seems so syrupy and can sit heavy on the stomach / cause GI distress. You can get away with just starting out with Gatorade to see if you like intra carbs but do so very conveniently and cheaply, and then branch into a supplement if you choose to do so. If you do want to go with an HBCD product. Granite supps Intra-Carb is a fantastic product so is Morphogen Hexagen.

Karbolyn was one i was looking at. ill check out the others you recommended as well. thanks for your input

I really noticed a HUGE difference in HBCD and all other forms of intraworkout carbs. Gatorade even is pretty heavy on the stomach for me. I drink much more much faster when the carb source is HBCD, but it's also pricier per serving. Here's a few to look at:
I bought Peri-MD back when there was a 20% off sale. Sale might actually still be happening. It was still expensive but since I'm going to compete, I figured it was worth paying about $50 per 30 servings as it has 25g HBCD, 8g EAA, 3g citrulline, and sodium for hydration.
Otherwise I've bought Glycofuse and added an EAA supplement to it. Can usually find some cheaper EAA's whether on a deal or just a lower priced somewhere. You can get Glycofuse for about ~$42-45 for 60 servings. 15g HBCD and 10g Carb10.
You can always just buy HBCD all by itself. $16.00 for 14 servings.

I've had no issue and went through 3 straight tubs last year back to back to back. Might depend on the ability to digest. I take digestion and gut health very seriously, so mine might not be sensitive to carb10.

lol I ordered some this morning from D*S, got a tracking number a couple hours later, then got an email a couple hours after that saying it was out of stock and wanted to know if I wanted to substitute something for it.

Scored a nice discount on some Ghost and the Pecan Pie Farm Fed flavor. Ghost is nothing great, but when discounted enough, I think it's a good option. That also is one of the few preworkouts that sits well with the gf.

Ghost whey is delicious although I haven’t had it in a while. But man I recall it being delicious.
I went through a lot of tubs in 2017/18.

I'm honestly not the biggest fan of the protein. I always got a weird after taste from it. The same after taste regardless of what flavor it is. I never tried the nutter butter flavor though.

Their best flavor was Blueberry Toaster Pastry. It was absolutely incredible…and then they quietly discontinued it.
The rest of the protein line ranges from good to severely mediocre. Not worth the $$.
Their energy drinks are fantastic though.

Good price. It sucks that the sh!tiest flavor is what is left. You’re going to need to take a shot of that one.
The muscle beach pre is on sale here as well. Good profile, especially pumps wise. Not a fan of the caffeine amount though.

Yeah the price sucks even with 20oz of water. But very good profile and nice doses. Worth it imo
Eating a Bang Bar (Bday Cake) right now.
Wow.

DO NOT BUY EVER.
