All the hype over Xyience???


Do you guys think any of their products are quality enough to match the hype or is this just the same marketing blitz being used by Dana White and the UFC / Spike TV that Bill Phillips used back in the mid nineties with the EAS craze. (Which admittedly i feel into).

Just getting your opinions....I'd probably only try the bars or maybe the creatine for supplementation as i've grown out of the $50 a week on supps phase!

Thanks.

way too expensive. you're better off just stick with protein, creatine, etc aka the basics.

Balanced, whole food diet, protein/carbs/natural-healthy fats.
Suppliment with whey protien/milk/add a banana if you wish, creatine postworkout only (use with dextrose koolaid or even sugar koolaid if it's all that's available).

How much do I spend on suppliments in a month? 20-30.00 for protein/ 11.00 for creatine to last two months. How much did I gain since July? 30lbs. Don't spend too much money, keep it simple and CHEAP.

I just get either the life extension brand of pure creatine monohydrate and make my own dextrose/creatine mix. Life extension is about 30.00 for a 6 month supply.

Sometimes I stop at walmart and get the body fortress creatine with the dextrose already added for 11.00 a tub which lasts a couple of months. Got a free tub sitting in the cabinet right now that a friend gave me because he switched to CEE.

thats a really good deal. i may just have to go get myself a some of that life extension creatine. its hard to believe that cellmass at my local GNC is something like 75.00 + tax for a 20 day supply, you have to wonder how much profit there makeing off that stuff!

I can't recall reading any reviews on any of their products. But my feel is that they're all hype. Protein, creatine, and a vitamin pack will do you well.

I get most of my supps from Trueprotein.com. Their service is average, but their products are top of the line, and dirt cheap.

if you look around, e-bay has great deals on supps, usually about half retail price after shipping.
