Gaspari SizeOn is 1 serving per day if working out later in the day and lasts 30 days for around $41 plus shipping. BSN CellMass has 40 servings and is taken 2X's per day and will last 20 days. It is around $32 plus shipping. Then there are several other products that are much lass money.

aww yes. i didn't take the servings into consideration but that does make sense. But i always so to people who take about some things being overpriced. I like saying is it worth a few extra bucks to experiment with a product to see if it has a great positive gain for you? But i'm glad it worked well for you.

And after taking it did you lose alot of weight (well i know you did cuz of the water retention) but did you lose any muscle gains your experience while on the Cell-Tech?

It's been the same with each. I use an NO2 and Creatine product for 4-8 weeks, then take 2-4 weeks off. During the off time I usually lose about 4 pounds and don't look as swollen or vascular, which is a bummer. I try to experiment after cycles with taking more protein, glutamine, ribose, test boosters, etc.

Yes sorry about the typo. HP844 is good and I'm two weeks into a cycle with it now but so far it does not give me the same focused buzz that I got with V12 Turbo. Having said that I've not been 100% health wise the last couple of weeks so my workouts have been a bit on the tarty side. I expect I'll get more out of the 844 when I'm firing on all cylinders again and I'm planning to stack it with Maximuscles NO2 which should be fun.

BSN NO-Xplode was ok but it sat on my gut during a couple of workouts making me feel bloated which is not fun when squatting.

Keep an eye out for Gaspari PlasmaJet, which will be coming out some time within the next 2-3 months I'm told. I don't have details on the product, other than it's suppose to be a sustained release NO2 product that far exceeds anything in it's class. Time and testing will tell.

I use CE2 it works great for me and there is now cycling off thats awesome my strengh has been steadily increasing but i have been wanting to switch up so i may give that Size On a try

**Beast912** · 09-27-2007, 06:17 PM

Animal Matrix is also Amazing i really liked that on i used it for 2 cycles and my strenght was way up i was repping out sets of 10 with the 150lbs on Flat bench dumbells

**Walis** · 09-30-2007, 07:28 AM

I used three types of creatine (all mono)
1) Universal Creatine (don`t remember it`s name) had side effects. I had a huge headache.
2) Crea Pure was quite good
3) The last 2 times I have used Nature's Best Creatine Monohydrate. I had very good results. It easily dissolves in water, not like Universal which I had trouble dissolving in water.

Now I`m thinking of trying something new.
Kre-Alkalyn
I anyone has any experience with it. Please post it

Those advertisements really get me wondering

**dogmai69** · 09-30-2007, 07:33 AM

hi
just wondering what, if any, the difference between creatine capsules/tablets and powder.

i find tablets or capsules would be more convenient to me but do they work as well?

**pennflyangler** · 09-30-2007, 08:02 AM

Guys, when I first started using Nitrix in my BSN Stack, I was taking Animal PAks which contains glutamic acid which I believe is a precursor to glutamine. If you take more than 10 grams of glutamine a day, which isnt hard to do, the Nitrix wont work. I know cuz for the first 4-5 weeks I didnt feel a perpetual pump as advertised. once I got off animal paks I started to feel it. You get glutamine from protein drinks, milk, and some multi-vitamins. So if your doing that stack, watch your glutamine intake or you'll be pissing your hard earned money away!

Higher Power Micronized Creatine

It's pharmacutical grade creatine monohydrate, which is a proven winner in bodybuilding. Plus Higher Power sells is for relatively inexpensive prices.

**McCrary** · 10-01-2007, 06:22 AM

yea monohydrate.....no matter what you get DONT get Muscletech creakic....its a waste of your money.....check the feedback on it

**NHBBareKnuckler** · 10-01-2007, 12:27 PM

NOW Foods Monohydrate.
10 bucks an LBS lol can't go wrong.

Gaspari will be putting out PlasmaJet within the next 1-3 months and should be the BEST! There are also creatine/NO2 products without stimulants though if you don't like that.

where can I find the new flavour? I'm in Canada

The flavor is exotic fruit. I'm not sure who carries that flavor at this time. bb.com doesn't show the flavor. I received the sample from vpx- I believe it's vpxsports.com. Check w/ bb.com to see if they have it yet.

**And055** · 10-01-2007, 12:50 PM

Just plain creatine monohydrate gets it done for me. Prolab's SKW Creapure I used to get at $20 for 2lbs so it lasts forever. I still haven't finish mine yet.

**Willdabear** · 10-01-2007, 04:47 PM

Sizeon or green mag? both have excellent reviews im currently taking arnge krush preworkout and i was thinking of adding in some green mag/sizeon right after i finish a lift.

Are you thinking of adding in green mag and sizeon? Either will be good. I prefer Sizeon if it's one or the other. But I wouldn't do both at the same time. For the prices, it's a waste of money. They are both creatine products and Sizeon would be enough. Try one, then take a break, try the other. See which worked best for you.

**Willdabear** · 10-01-2007, 06:39 PM

nah just one or the other - i found some descent threads already thanks - lol search function

**Anabolic Izzy** · 10-01-2007, 06:48 PM

Cellmass by BSN is by far the best creatine

**Big Guy 0861** · 10-01-2007, 11:46 PM

Anyone else prefer Anavol. It's worked great for me.

**Blue Blazer** · 10-02-2007, 01:51 PM

Is CellMass CEE? Or is it a creatine monohydrate?

**pittjoe33** · 10-02-2007, 01:54 PM

CEE - Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate

**KrazyKevin** · 10-02-2007, 02:09 PM

I just ordered ABB Crea-Force monohydrate. Although for some reason bodybuilding.com doesn't show that it's micronized on the product page...

Even though it is...

Update: I emailed support and let them know.

**rwebb11** · 10-03-2007, 06:00 PM

I'm 2 weeks into Higher Power's Micronized. So far pretty good results and not much side effects.

**DONIV** · 10-03-2007, 08:28 PM

can anyone recommend the best way to load using AST Micronized Creatine???

**7Steve77** · 10-04-2007, 01:12 AM

Mix 1 heaping teaspoon in 8 to 10 ounces of water or juice. Drink immediately.

To maximize results, drink 8 to 10 8-ounce glasses of water daily.

Loading Phase
Day 1 through 5: Take 1 heaping teaspoon 4 to 6 times daily.

Maintenance Phase
Day 6 forward: Take 1 heaping teaspoon twice daily.

**7Steve77** · 10-04-2007, 01:13 AM

Universal Storm

Great price and does the job.

Don't load it. It gets stored in your muscles no matter what. Even if you stop, it stays in the muscles for about a week. 5-10 grams a day is all you need. Don't waste your money.

**Ryan314** · 10-05-2007, 03:13 AM

I am on CellMass right now, but I'm thinking about changing to a different creatine.

I am looking into getting Green Mag.

Thoughts?

**KrazyKevin** · 10-05-2007, 08:56 AM

A little of topic but I read that drinking creatine with certain types of juice like grapefruit or orange juice is bad because the juice turns the creatine into creatinine due to the acidity.
"When exposed to an acidic environment or moisture for a long time, creatine will begin to break down into worthless creatinine."
