Product Review: MuscleTech, CellTech Hardcore Pro Series

Let's face it - when it comes time to choosing the right muscle-building product available, there are just too many variables to take into account; too many brands, too much science, too many compromises, too many promises that you don't know are true or well-scripted fiction. You may be looking for a product that fits your budget, you may be looking for a product that possesses or lacks certain compounds - or you may just be looking for the best possible product available that will meet your personal goals.

So what do you do? You do your homework. After all, this is your body we're talking about; you need to know that all your hard efforts, dedication and pennies are being supported to achieve the most efficient results possible. But this can prove to be a time-consuming project - for every proponent you find, there's always an opponent. But the chances are that the true quality, effect and value of any particular product will be reflected in sheer weight of numbers; That means that unless you have personally tried a particular product and know the effects that you can obtain that are unique only to you, you put your faith in others - as many 'others' as possible.

It takes a wise man to ask for the advice of others, and with that being said, I'm going to continue to select certain products that are available from Explosive Nutrition that have received numerous, wide-spread reviews, so that you can make your purchases with the most comprehensive information available.

This week's product review: MuscleTech's Cell Tech Hardcore Pro Series.


As you tell from the above statistical analysis, CTHC/PS is by no means a 'people's choice'. MuscleTech as a company has taken a battering in recent years in perceived consumer value and the ability to make good on their product range abilities, despite remaining one of the biggest U.S. players in the sports-supplementation industry. With barely a 55% approval rate from nearly 100 reviews, this is a poor performance. Perhaps more concerning is the 21% of people that would not recommend this product. Below are the main pros and cons that were given by each person that reviewed this product, giving you more specific insight to what this product is really all about:


FINAL THOUGHTS

With this particular product, I have the benefit of being able to draw upon my own experiences. MuscleTech's Nitro-Tech and Cell-Tech were the first sports-supplements that I ever took - I had come to America to begin my wrestling ambitions and soon realised that I would need help to run with the big dogs. I was referred to MuscleTech by a former Welsh Body-building judge that was living in the States, and I knew no better than to try it.

I have used this product throughout every stage of its evolution; from Cell-Tech/ CT Hard core/ CTHC Pro Series. The most notable improvement was the taste and decrease in acidity. Personally, I achieved some great results with this product, despite the considerable bad press about the product and it's company (my body shot on this blog site will show that). Yes - there is a lot of sugar in this product, but used immediately after an intense resistance workout, it is mostly put to good use by the body. I was never really made aware of the bloating factor until after I got back on this product after taking several months off it when I returned to the U.K. My mother and sister (biased, but honest judges of mine) were the first to notice a distinct protruding belly after only the first week of use.

I would definitely recommend to NOT follow the 'loading phase' guidelines of this product. It will lead to bloating and water retention, and depending on your seasoning to sports-supplements, active use of the toilet. I believe the reason why I didn't really experience any noticeable negative effects was due to my high activity levels whilst I was wrestling - working out twice a day with intense cardio, 6 days a week probably off-set these effects.

Price has always been the biggest drawback to MuscleTech products in comparison to its rivals, and I believe that a main reason for why this product has received such negative press is due to the perceived failings of the Company, more than the product's own. However, isn't this just as telling as to the rating of the product?

Bottom-line: This product does work, I can attest to that. Pro Series has a great taste, and your strength and mass will increase significantly. But I believe that there are much 'purer' products available, without the high sugar content that this product possesses. Would I recommend it? Yes, but be aware of any negative changes in your physiology, and come off it if you do. Click Here to buy MuscleTech's Cell Tech Hard Core Pro Series.
