what supplements? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

fingers · 15-09-2004, 11:52 PM

Hello forumites,

This is my first post here, nice board by the way. I have been working out for 2 years now and lift weights 3 times per week, I am a hardgainer but have put on a fair bit of weight since i've been training. I am currently taking whey protein and plain creatine.

My friend is a big guy and he has recommended that I try a new creatine called swole v2 - has anyone tried this? My friend swears by it and i've read some good reviews on other forums, but also reviews from people who haven't responded to it. My friend buys it from www.cheapuksupplements.com - he told me its very cheap but is there anywhere I can get it cheaper? Or does anyone recommend a similar product? I currently take creatine mono but want to try one of these more advanced formulas.

Also from the same site I am interested in trying Syntrax Nectar - it tastes amazing apparently - can anyone recommend a flavour? I'm thinking apple at the moment but am open to offers to those who have tried it.

And can anyone think of any other supplements I might need?

Once I buy a product I intend to keep a log so I can keep you all updated.

Thanks Guys

Jonny

Welcome to the board Jonny. Cant help ya on the supplements because I have never tried them. I have tried the creatine monohydrate but you must take it with a sugar to get it to work. Even then it just worked fair for me. I had a workout partner that exploded on creatine. Works for some barely works for others. Anyways welcome mate.

Jonny, you,ll like it here, and on the creatine sorry mate havent tried it yet, prob will soon though just to see how it goes.

OK guys, thanks for the help, I've ordered now from cheapuksupplements, I couldn't find anywhere that Syntrax Swole V2 was nearly as cheap - so I ordered 2 tubs for just under £56 and I have also ordered some Syntrax Nectar Crystal Sky flavour and Roadsie Lemonade! I cant wait to try them! I'll let you know how they taste!

John · 16-09-2004, 02:45 PM

keep us posted, i forgot to say on the creatine front one of the guys in here Hackskii did a piece on creatine he said he liked the v12 brand, see how you go with your own then next time try another, it just seems to be trial n error,good luck.

fingers · 16-09-2004, 03:03 PM

Yes i've heard that v12 turbo is very good, i was tempted to try it but in my research i read that a lot of people favoured swole v2 over v12, plus swole v2 was a lot cheaper, so i went with that. I'll definately keep you all updated though and i'll consider v12 for the future!

Hi guys,

Just to let you know I received my supps this morning, I only ordered them yesterday afternoon! Ok well I've had my first seving of swole (orange flavour) it tastes quite nice, I will have one more serving tonight before the gym.

Ok and I have tried the Roadside Lemonade Nectar, it is amazing!!! I hate the taste of protein and have to gag it down everyday but I'm sitting here at my computer just sipping it down and enjoying each mouthful! I can't explain how nice this tastes!!

I cant wait to try the Crystal Sky flavour!

If anyone is looking for a nice tasting and quality protein (this is whey isolate) then I highly recommend this!

Thanks and I'll keep you updated on the swole!

Mate I don't think they are that cheap, looking at the weight gainer its half a kilo for £30 now that's taking the pi55.

Try the sponsors on here mate all of them do a much better deal you can get 2.5kgs of Pro-Mass from proteinfactory.co.uk for about the same price.

And welcome to the board.

fingers · 17-09-2004, 02:07 PM

Hi Harry!

Yes I have tried the unflavoured proteins before and I really cant stand the taste! So I prefer to pay for something that tastes nicer and has added extras and that i can read a wide range of reviews on from people! I have found that site to be the cheapest for all the products I want compared to other sites!

Thanks for the advice though!

fingers · 21-09-2004, 02:32 PM

Just an update: I am taking swole v2 once in the morning and once before my workout in the evening, i have already gained 3lbs, although some of it may be water weight, and my body feels really pumped evn when im not in the gym! I think I also look a bit bigger and fuller as I've been getting more compliments recently. The pump when I'm in the gym is amazing, bicep curls make my muscles feel like exploding! Im just hoping that I can put on some more weight.

Hi stevie, sorry to disappoint you but im not advertising any products, i am trying to document my thoughts of a product for the benefit of myself and others.

Ive just got back fro the gym, my weight is still the same, but im still up 3lbs in total, gym was great again, i had an amazing pump again but i mainly felt it again in my biceps and chest depsite the fact i was doing my back! wierd but it feels good! Strength increased again but not hugely.

Fingers,
You may want to try M1T in addition to your protein supplements. I have had good results using it. Big strength increase and some size increase as well.
