MuscleTech keeps on coming out with new supplements and one of the new ones is After Build Lab Series. When you get done with crushing your work out you need a great post work out supplement and MuscleTech's After Build Lab Series is the one. I was sent this product to test and review. 

Here is a little bit about Lab Series After Build. 

4:1:1 BCAA Matrix  
L-leucine       4g
L-isoleucine  1g
L-valine        1g

Growth & Recovery Matrix
L-glutamine                   2g
Creatine Monohydrate  2g
Creatine HCI                 1g

Lean Muscle & Performance Matrix
Betaine              2.5g
Taurine                 1g

Hydro-Electrolyte Support Blend
Sodium Chloride            63.5mg
Dipotassium Phosphate  55.5mg
Coconut Water                   50mg
Black Pepper Extract        5.26mg

You need to read the whole label and follow the directions to the "T". This supplement is powerful. When I went and got this to test and review I went and tested this product to the max. First I tested the taste, It tasted very good with no after taste. For the mixing test, I went and tried the old stirring with a spoon in the glass of water and it mixed fairly good. Then I went and tried to mix it in a shaker cup and it passed with flying colors. And for the final test I tried it in a fruit punch smoothie and it tasted great and mixed extremely well with no funky after taste.

Phase 2 of my testing was to see how the recovery and strength  went after using it for a month. After the first 4 days I noticed that my recovery was getting better and by the 4th week I had to work out even harder to feel the soreness but the soreness was very minimal. During that time I noticed that my strength was increasing as well as my muscle mass as well. 

MuscleTech's After Build Lab Series post work out far exceeded my tests in everything. I highly recommend this to family friends and anyone who wants a faster recovery and that extra strength and muscle mass. Also with this post work out you need to drink lots of water because of the Creatine in it. What I like about After Build Lab Series is the BCAA's and the support blend. The BCAA's help with the synthesis of protein that you need for your muscles and also the Support blend because it helps with the replacement of the electrolytes that you burn and use during your workouts. When you stack After Build with the 100% Whey Advanced you will see more results.

100% Whey Advanced Protein Lab Series by MuscleTech Review

Photo Taken by Joseph Valo III

MuscleTech came out with a new protein powder called 100% Whey Advanced a few months ago and I had the opportunity to test and review it. MuscleTech takes great pride in the taste and what they put in their product. What MuscleTech did was create a whole mew protein powder with the highest quality ingredients and pure protein.

What they also did was put BCAA's in with it and also Glutamine too. What that does is help and aid in the absorption of protein and help with recovery and to build lean muscle as well. This is great to take right after you are done with your work out and great with smoothies too.

This protein powder has 25 grams of protein, 5.6 grams of BCAA's , 4.4grams of Glutamine and Precursor per scoop. Also it is Banned Substance free as well as the serving size is 1 scoop.

I tested MuscleTech's Lab Series 100% Whey Advanced protein powder in the following categories, Taste. Mix, how much muscle I gained and also how the recovery was too. So let's get to it now.

The taste was really great and it tasted just like triple chocolate brownie and didn't have funky after taste as well. First, when I mixed it I tried several different ways too. I went and mixed it in a shaker cup with bottled water and there was no clumps and everything blended well. Then I tried it with vanilla soy milk and it still mixed well. I also tried it with the water in a glass and mixing it with a spoon and that worked to a certain point but I recommend that you use a shaker cup to mix it. Then for the ultimate test I went and made a triple chocolate peanut butter brownie smoothie and it passed with flying colors and tasted just like the real thing.

Since I have been taking the 100% Whey Advanced protein powder I have noticed a faster recovery because of the BCAA's and have gained about 4 pounds of lean muscle in about 4 weeks.

I also want to stress about reading the whole label and look at the indigence to see if you may be allergic to anything.

I would definitely recommend this protein powder to anyone who wants to gain lean muscle and a faster recovery. Also I would definitely recommend this to family and friends as well. I am completely satisfied with this supplement and will be buying it in the near future. You can find MuscleTech's Lab Series 100% Whey Advanced Protein Powder here.

MuscleTech's CellTech Hyper-Drive Review

Photo Taken by Joseph Valo III

I would like to take the time to let you know all about MuscleTech's newest product called CellTech Hyper-Build. When I got this product to test and review I was happy because I remember the CellTech Hard Gainer and how good it was. 

What MuscleTech did was take the old CellTech and made it better and made it a 5 in 1 powerful post workout supplement. They added more BCAA's, Electrolytes and added Tart Cherry to it and many more things. 

When I first tried it the first thing that got me was how good it tasted. There was no funky after taste at all. I decided to put this to the test and it passed. I read the whole label and followed the directions to the "T". The end result after taking this for a week was more strength. I also noticed that I wasn't sore like usual and I was starting to get more muscle mass as well. What I like is that there is no loading phase with this and that it has electrolytes in it to help replenish what you lost during your workout.

The one thing I want to stress is that you must drink more water due to the creatine and you must read the whole label front and back and follow the directions. 

CellTech Hyper-Drive is broken into 5 parts.

BCAA Matrix -  4g L-Leucine, 1g L-Valine, 1g L-Isoleucine, 1g L-Glutamine.

Muscle Growth and Stregth Matrix - 4g Creatine Monohydrate, 1g Creatine HCL.

Cell Volumizing amino Acid Matrix - 1g Taurine, 240mg of Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate.

Electrolyte Blend - 180mg Sodium Chloride, 50mg Coconut Water, 50mg Watermelon Juice, 40mg Dipotassium Phosphate.

Support Blend - 100mgWhite Mulberry Extract, 50mg Prickly Pear Concentrate.

How to take CellTech Hyper-Drive is you mix 1 scoop with 12oz of water and mix. Or if you have been using it for more than a week you can use 2 scoops in 24 ounces of water for the full effect. But if you are just starting to use this supplement just go with the 1 scoop for a week and then go with 2 scoops. but just remember that you need to drink adequate amount of water. And just take it right after you work out. 

I would definitely recommend CellTech Hyper-Drive to anyone who wants great muscle recovery and strength. CellTech Hyper-Drive will do what it says. I'm completely satisfied with this supplement and I will be using MuscleTech's CellTech Hyper-Drive as my post work out.

Hydroxycut Gummies Review

Photo taken by Joseph Valo III

For everyone who is either trying to lose weight or thinking about losing weight. Here is a wonderful weight loss supplement that you can use. Its, the Hydroxycut Gummies from Hydroxycut, America's #1 selling weight loss supplement. What Hydroxycut did was they went and put a whole new spin on weight loss supplements by creating the Hydroxycut Gummies. 

When I first got them, I was taken away because I thought who would do something like that. But if you think about, it's a great idea and this is why. A lot of people dread taking pills and powders and find it a little cumbersome. When I first tried them I was expecting a supplement taste but that was clearly not the case at all. They tasted really good and guilt free as well. 

Since I started taking the Hydroxycut Gummies which was about 2 weeks ago, I have lost about 6 pounds. How the weight loss supplement works is, that you take 3 Hydroxycut Gummies 30 minutes before your 2 largest meals and that's all. How easy is that, right? Just one thing to remember is that you can't have more than 6 in a 24 hour period. How the weight loss supplement works is that it helps to control your appetite and has B Vitamins in it to help metabolize fat. Also one great thing is that it is stimulant free too. 

For best results; combine with exercise and a well balanced. If you are all the time on the go you can also take them with you as well and the best thing is that they taste great.. 

Now don't get fooled by the candy appearance because they are a weight loss supplement and not for little kids. Also with anything you put into your body read the whole entire label. The reason for that is because you may be allergic to something in the product. That goes for everything like shampoo, food, skin care and so forth. 

This weight loss supplement has Robusta Coffee Extract which is a key ingredient and has been clinically proven to help with weight loss. For more information you can visit there website here. I would definitely recommend this weight loss supplement to anyone who wants to lose weight and friends and family. 

So, if you are interested in losing weight when pills and powders are not your thing, check out the Hydrocycut Gummies.

MuscleTech's NANOx9 Next Gen Review

Photo taken by Joseph Valo III

When I got NANOx9 Next Gen as a sample to test and review I was blown away because I remember using the NANOx9 Hardcore before with good results. 

What MuscleTech did was take the old NANOx9 Hardcore and made it even better than ever. Whats even better is that it's stimulant free and helps to boost your muscle pump at the same time it gives you the mental focus to your your workout the boost you need.

When I took the first dose and worked out I wanted to put it to the test and I lifted heavy and after the first set I could literally feel the extreme pump and it continued to get even better. My strength was increased as well. I also didn't have any fatigue either. The Sensory Matrix gave me the mental focus that I needed to concentrate on every rep and contraction of the muscle group that I was working out.

But just to warn everyone, this is not a supplement that you can just start off with the full dose especially when you are using another pre-workout with 1600mg of Beta-alanine in it. Before you start taking it with the pre-workout, start by taking 2 of the capsules of NANOx9 Next Gen and get a fell for your tolerance. Then you start adding your pre-workout just start with small servings of the pre-workout until you find your tolerance. 

On the label you will find that the supplement is broken in to 3 things. 

First is the Vaso Prime (N.O.x Maximizer) which gives you the pump with 1,500mg of Arginine Inositol Silicate (Nitrosigine) as the main ingredient in the Vaso Prime. Also you have Hawthorne and Pomegranate to round it out as well.

Second is the Vaso Amp (Performance Matrix) which has 1,600mg of Beta-alanine (Carnosyn) which gives you that tingly feeling in some of the workouts you take. It also helps with muscle endurance to increase your productivity of your work outs as well. And then you have Brown algae extract to round out the Performance Matrix.

Third and final is the Neuro Amp (Sensory Matrix) This has Choline Bitartrate, Rhodiola Extract and Eleuthro to help give you the mental focus that you need to use for when you are really crushing your work out. 

Also I cannot forget about how they use their rapid diffusion technology to make the supplement absorbed by the body faster than the capsule. 
This supplement will do everything that it says and I will be purchasing it in the future. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants that skin splitting pump and the extra strength as well.  As with everything you must read the entire label and directions. 

I am completely pleased with the supplement and the NANOx9 Next Gen is way far superior to its predecessor NANOx9 Hardcore.

For information about MuscleTech's NANOx9 you can visit their website here and find everything else you need about this amazing new supplement and other great supplements they have there as well.
