Muscletech Skeptics Nano Vapor/Anabolic Halo log
So yes, these are the first muscletech products I have ever considered trying. I got a pretty fat deal on them (both for $70). I am taking off until wednesday to decondition my CNS after my 20 rep squat workout. I did however go to the gym today for 45 minutes for some low intensity cardio, and a few sets of back and biceps. I took 2 scoops of nanovapor before working out. I have to admit I got a freaking awesome pump. The only thing I did not like is that I'm not used to that much caffeine or yohimbine hcl, and I was definitely feeling it. I felt like I was getting out of breathe significantly easier as well. I took one scoop of the anabolic halo afterwards, and have to admit that I feel that my muscles stayed pumped up for way longer than they usually would. On wednesday I will start logging my workouts on the nanovapor/halo stack, and let y'all know how it goes.


...Guy puts 1000 on the leg press, obviously can't do it. I ask "your gonna bring that deep right? He replies "oh yeahhh" then continues to move it around 4 or 5 inches, and struggle to push it up pressing his hands on his knee's.....

Im open to any brand Ive used Nitrotech which is high quality protein back in 04 and got great gains. also used cell tech which is good creatine and got nice gains in 04. Im unbaised. i go by quality. that being said Muscletech is known to be high even if they do have quality products and Ive found every muscletech product cheaper.

Can you list the ingredients of each?

Yes, I try to be unbias until I try something but I guess muscletech products have never really intrigued me enough to get. Lol I'll list the ingredients but theres a TON in both.

Yeah I know, there is no way to know exactly how much of what is in it. I believe that ingredient quantity ammt. goes from top to bottom but am not sure.

Cell Tech/Nitro Tech combo had me in the hospital sh*tting in bags. I have tried a LOT of supplements... wait that's an understatement.... I've tried a TON of supps and I'm considered to have a cast iron stomach as well. I was diagnosed with some weird stomach ailment and creatinine poisoning and it wasn't fun at all. Nitrotech has so much crap in it, it's not even funny.

I find it stupid how Muscle-Tech has a kitchen sink of ingredients then makes it propriety blend.

As if the mass amount of ingredients blended is so esoteric that no one in the world could ever develop a better product than them.

i believe there is 19 grams of maltodextrin in halo, which leaves 5 grams for the rest of those ingredients...

yah .. i love nanovapor myself .. expensive but i think its the best pre workout supps that you can just take it 10-15 mins before .. others take around 30-40mins to kick in .. how do you like HALO ?and when do you take that ?


I'm not here to preach, im here to learn from the best

I loved the vapor the two times I have taken it...I can definitely tell a difference in pump, and overall feeling while on it. The halo is interesting, i think it makes your pump last extremely longer after you stop working out...Supposedly it is supposed to raise the amount of free test available 100% in 21 days, but lots of outrageous claims are made when it comes to supps. A guy I know that lifts said he has noticed dramatically faster healing, and growth since taking it so we'll see.....


...Guy puts 1000 on the leg press, obviously can't do it. I ask "your gonna bring that deep right? He replies "oh yeahhh" then continues to move it around 4 or 5 inches, and struggle to push it up pressing his hands on his knee's.....
