So as i explained in another thread, got 2x4.7lbs of muscletech's all mighty CELLTECH HARDCORE (HAHA) for free and i guess i must give it a try.
I still have some doubts that maybe someone can clear for me:
1.- Is it a must to follow the "preload" phase of this overpriced product? 2 scoops in the morning and 2 more after workout
2.- What is better. 2 scoops after workout or 1 during workout and 1 after workout?
3.- Any other advice = welcome.

no its not a must that you do the loading phase. unless you have some plain creatine also which you could use.
celltech can make you feel pretty bloated so i would wait till pwo to use it.
-
How about splitting it? 1 scoop during workout 1 after? Or better to go with 2 scoops after workout?
Also as 4 loading phase, i have always believed its nothing but a way to make you waste * products in less time, that's why i ask for some oppinions :)

well go ahead and try both ways to see how you feel. another option would be to have the shake ready and begin to sip on from the mid point of your workout. personally i like to wait till the workout is over. the only time i use any kind of shake while im training is if im going to do a cardio session right after. when i do that its just a small amount of whey mixed in water and maybe a few bcaas.
the loading phase isnt necessary. if you followed those recomendations you would be back buying another jug of the stuff in no time.
-
Thank you man, i think i will try what you just said: Start taking it in the middle of my workout and then another scoop after workout.
-
If you load with CELL-TECH the first 5 days and use the maintenance dose the remainder of the time, a 7-lb jug will last you about a month. Therefore, two of those 4.7-lb canister should go for about 5-6 weeks.
I don't think loading is a waste of time. I've done so with CELL-TECH and I liked the results.
I just hope you didn't get the orange flavor........YUUUCCCKKK!!!
-
I got fruit punch and orange flavor, but havent started with the orange flavor yet :)
So far i must say the product seems to be ok, whenever i take it, i feel like my heart is bumping faster and sometimes i have a bit of headache, but overall, seems to be a good product, we will see when i finish with it hehe
-
how about 1 scoop 1 hour prior to training, and one scoop during training.
that would be....closer to ideal.
-
Im taking one when im halfway done with my workout and another one when i got back to home, seems to be ok so far
-
i would suggest moving the post workout scoop to pre workout.....
the "during" shake is really a "post" shake becaus eof digestion rates and how long nutrients take to actually enter the blood stream from the time you drink them untill the time you want them to be available to use in your muscles. creatine actually takes about 1 hour to hit the blood stream. the simple carbs in cell tech will stat getting absorbed immidietly though.
for now, use the cell tech, and do it one hour pre workout, and another right before or during your workout. this will be best.
later on, just buy pure creatine monohydrate powder and drink 10 g 1 hour before you workout.
-
MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! another nutrition warrior who mysteriously received 10 pounds of expensive supplements abosolutely free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH TO TAKE AND HOW TO MIX IT WITH A SPOON IN SOME WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since you are a smart person, im gonna explain you how did i get it free, just for you.
I went to shanghai in september, bought some chinese art stuff for my friends who's a collector, and now that he went to usa and couldnt find what i wanted (vitargo), he just bought what the people @ gnc miami told him to buy and gave it to me for free, in exchange for what the things i got for him in china.
It's called frienship, and even though i have money (not any getbig punk is going to buy 20+ containers/year from china right?) and i actually couldnt care less spending 40 or 80 bucks, it's not the idea to waste, in this case, a gift (which i got fully free :D).
Hope that clears everything and have a nice day.
To those who kindly answered my questions, i appreciate it.

I don't think the taste is bad at all, except for the orange kind.

Did you try the original cell tech that came out like 8 years ago or the new Hardcore version...The new one taste alot better than the first version, lol i actually liked the orange in the hardcore the lime is what i hated

They ALL suck. All you need is creatine monohydrate and mix it in with your post workout protien shake. Take all the money you save and go buy some other stuff that works. To answer your question, I have been banned many times BUT all you need to do is renew your IP address and your back in business :)

What do you put in your post workout shake?..Muscle tech is way overpriced ill give you this but cell tech worked very well for me

Natures Best creatine monohydrate. Get like 1000 Grams for something like 20 bucks. I use a serving every morning (more than you really need but it helps keep me pumped more) and post workout. The whole jug lasts 2 or 3 months. Now, thats about 3 months for around $20 VS Cell Tech that cost much more than that and will only get you through a month??? I dont know why people stand by this product. Almost EVERY dam fitness magazine has those dumb ass 4 page MT ads like every 20 pages- IN THE SAME MAGAZINE!!! THATS WHY THEY ARE CHARGING SO MUCH FOR THEIR PRODUCT. I know this is falling on deaf ears BUT, if I can turn just one person well then, it will be worth it. Muscletech is like the NY Yankees. They look good on paper and you would EXPECT them to be the real deal but in the end, for all that money, they just dont get the job done.

Lol like the Yankees thats funny...I do the same thing but just take 10 grams after my workout with protein, i use ON brand i believe but i do miss out on the simple carbs after my workout i would get from cell tech
-
The best thing to do with your cell tech is to site inject it in the proper area an hour before training.

Of course it costs more. A creatine product with dextrose, ALA, and other ingredients is going to cost more than plain creatine monohydrate. The reason people stick by it is simple: It works and works well.

CELL-TECH has been around for over 10 years; and the retail price has been about the same ($80 for a 7-lb jug) since the late 90s. So, the ads have little to do with the price. Plus, getting CELL-TECH for much cheaper than the retail price isn't that hard, especially if you shop at GNC. Of course, I miss the days in 2005, when (due to MuscleTech's changing the formula) the 7-lb. jugs of the old CELL-TECH were marked down to as little as $20. And some stores charge less for CELL-TECH (version 2), now that CELL-TECH Hardcore is here.
And, one thing you continue to forget is that products like CELL-TECH are the reason that plain creatine is so cheap today. Go back about 10-15 years. I can assure you that you couldn't get 1000 grams of creatine for $20. Back in the day, a bottle of creatine a third of that size would cost THREE TIMES as much. I know that firsthand.
When MuscleTech came out with their original creatine product, Creatine 6000-ES, a 325-gram bottle cost $60 (as did many other bottles that size from other companies). Once CELL-TECH arrived, the cost of 6000-ES dropped by 50%. Within 2-3 years (on good sale days), Creatine 6000-ES went for as little as $18. Similar happening occured with EAS' Phosphagen once Phosphagen HP hit the market.
