I am somewhat anti-muscletech guy…they typically make out of line claims and are over priced.

it all depends…i have used themm for years, with great results

@Orr89rocz"

thats what i’ve heard too. their stuff is overpriced and do make big claims. I havent used them so i cant say either way

@beat90tsi

It’s very hard to gain just muscle, or lose purely fat. The pro’s gain both, then cut, coming out with more muscle. Anyone trying to do this “gain muscle only” or “lose fat only” programs is fighting an uphill battle.

not true, anyone who practices a strict diet and exercise program will gain muscle and lose fat, pros just have other things helping them

And admittedly, those programs are only good for a couple pounds a month anyway. I say bulk up/slim down later, set your goals and work hard, alternating between the two, don’t try to do both, that’s part of the reason so many people fail with weight loss.

a few pounds a month equals around 15-20 lbs. a year, which is around the range of most pro bodybuilders…
