Nitro-tech or Muscle Drive HP?


I have a question about 2 protein powders. Which one is better, Nitro-tech or Muscle Drive HP?

If you don't support those two products, which one will you reccomend?

6'1, 170, trying to get bigger almost completely naturally

Don't use either... Go for Optimum, EAS simply whey, or something similar.

Ok, are you new to weightlifting? Nitro-tech is basically protein powder with some creatine and koolaid thrown in. Yes, I'm being over simplistic, but you can really make your own. I like the instructions "For maximum results, consume 3 servings of NITRO-TECH and 1 serving of CELL-TECH daily." Yea, please buy more of our overpriced crap and use it extensively .

Ok, the other one I haven't heard of so let me go look at it. OK - it's made by EAS and is different than Nitro-tech in that it doesn't contain creatine.

The best bet for the money is to just buy plain 'ol whey protein, creatine, and dextrose . You'll save a heck of a lot of money and you'll get the same results.

Kitara,

Are you certain Nitro Tech contains creatine? But you are right, some whey and creatine are a dynamite duo, even for a beginner.

I looked at the ingredients here: http://www.netrition.com/nitrotech_page.html

It's in the ingredients list, but it's not in the breakdown of nutrients so I think the amount in there is minimal.

Kiatara is right, all Muscle-Tech stuff is overhyped, overpriced sh*t. Go for a quality protein powder. Most people on here use Optimum Nutrition's whey but I prefer, EAS' Simply Whey.

I like EAS' Simply Whey as well. I got it for the same price as Optimum and it tastes just as good (even better, who knows).

I really like Kitara Good Stuff!

She's right stick with EAS or Optimum protein. Basically any cheap whey protein will do the trick just check the ingrediants before you buy. I think Pinacle has some stuff too but that's pretty hyped right now so I don't know the quality but you could look into it . . . . . .

cheers

Pinnacle huh? I think your talking about JUICED protein. It contains myozap (green sea algea or something like that). They make huge claims about the stuff, but thus far there isn't any science to back up all that talk. I would stay away until they provide some studies and just use a basic whey concentrate product from a reputable company.
