Nitro-Tech/Anabolic Halo

I'm starting this stack today, yes I know, from what I've read at least, a lot of people here seem to hate Anabolic Halo and a lot of muscletech products because of their fake promises and such, or whatever. Truth is, I was a really uneducated consumer of supplements, so my only resort was GNC. AFter taking these I plan on starting the DRive/RPM stack, because I've heard lots of good things about it.
But my question is, Nitro-Tech Hardcore is a protien supplement, but it also lists that it has creatine in it, but not how much. And Anabolic Halo says it has creatine in it as well. So i was wondering, if I'm taking these two supplements, do I need to use my creatine-mono powder as well? Or would that just be a waste of my creatine? thanks.

SO with those two products you probably dropped about $130.00.
And that is why WE HATE GNC. 130bucks at Nutraplanet.com would have gotten you SOOOOOOOO much more. I would run these two alone. Maybe even try to take them back if they are unopened and get your money back. But if you have to run them. I doubt you will see anything close to what the scam artist at GNC promised you but what the hey. When you get ready to run your next stack and while you are running this overpriced junk. DO your research on what to buy next. AND get it at NUTRAPLANET.com, and get three times as much GOOD products.

GNC has a policy of 100% percent guaranteed money back no questions asked, even if uve only taken a couple of servings u can take it back. On the other hand dont be unethical and take it back if uve already used half of it.

I spent 90 on the two, and the guy didn't promise me anything, I just said I was looking to refill my protien, and try something that would give me some good results, and he just said that Halo was new and he's heard a lot of good things about it thats all. What would you suggest I buy instead? Or would you say I should just start the RPM/DRive stack?

ya he suggested it cause he makes commision on muscle tech products he sells.... but you should be fine taking both if you dont choose to return them, the additional creatine monohydrate is not neccesary save it till you run out of these.

1) Get everything from Nutraplanet next time
2) Creatine Mono Bulk 12.95 a kilo, get one
3) Waxy Maize by True Protein .com, 38.50 for five lbs.
4) Dextrose by NOW get one bag 3.50
5) Protein too many to pick but at Nutraplanet.com or Trueprotein.com you can make your own mix.
Take the Drive + RPM pre workout, Mix a scoop of Waxy maize, scoop of dextrose, and a scoop of creatine in a shaker cup and drink as soon as you do your last set, and in less than thirty minutes drink a protein shake and eat a good meal. Get the rest of your diet in check and add a few daily supp's like fish oil,flax seed oil, a good multivitamin,maybe a few other goodies. This is going to be around 100.00 but this will last you twice as long as the Muscle Tech.

thats a 100 dollars WITH the drive and RPM right? i would think a reg 5lb bucket of protien for less then 30 dollars would be a lil better then waxy maize if funds are tight but thats not too shabby....

but still would like to hear your goals and stats man, maybe theres other stuff that would be better suited for you to take to make them happen faster.

He already has the Drive and the RPM, I just wanted to show him what to replace the Muscle Yech with.
