Probably better off just buying/using plain creatine monohydrate.


 This thread brings me back. I remember playing hockey in highschool and a dude from the team would give us a couple scoops of this orange Tang looking stuff in our water-bottles before the game. (Ultimate Orange) Our games were usually around 8 or 9pm on weekends and we'd wonder why we wouldn't get to sleep until 8am the next day.

 I distinctly remember the guy who first introduced us to Ultimate Orange saying verbatim...

 " try this shit, it gives you more energy than Gatorade! "


  If I Could Turn Back Time...

  .. I would buy a supply of Animal CUTS, Animal TEST, MHP T Bomb, Ultimate Orange and Xenadrine.


 I can't believe hese companies these days trying to sell us caffiene with arginine in deliscious fruit punch flavor for the ultimate pre-workout energy. How dare they!



 - Block.

I'm pretty sure if the real ultimate orange was around most of us would have had a heart attack or two. That shit was lethal, but DAMN GOOD!

does anybody still spend money on creatine?

Yep!! But, plain creatine is dirt cheap. A 250-gram bottle of GNC Creatine Monohydrate costs me $7.

As I said earlier, 15 years ago, a bottle of plain creatine of that size (or a more typical 300-gram bottle) would have run you AT LEAST $50. Now you can get TWICE as much creatine for a third of that price and get a free T-Shirt (if you get Prolab's version, that is   ).

It's because of all these upgraded creatine products that creatine monohydrate is now so inexpensive. Again, when Phosphagen HP hit the market, Phosphagen dropped in price. And, when MuscleTech hit the stores with Cell-Tech, the price of its old creatine product (Creatine 6000-ES, which often went over $60), plummeted by 50-75%.

I tried that back in '96, as well. That mess felt as if someone applied a vice grip on my head, while blasting me in the face with a turbo-charged hair dryer.

That, coupled with my right arm, wiggling involuntary (while I'm on the bus, traveling to the gym, shortly after taking the product), told me that Ultimate Orange was the ultimate no-no for me.

Of course not!!

Why would I own or run a GNC store and brag about marked-down supplements (which would equal a FINANCIAL LOSS, were I a proprietor of such an establishment)?

Lucky you! Mine was Weider's Dynamic Weight Gainer.
