Thread: Supplement questions again.

Alright, about seven to eight weeks ago I asked about supplements. I took the advice of a couple posters and have been on a whey protein (three times a day), a creatine supplement, a multi-vitamin, and fish oil pill.

After seven weeks I have been very happy with the results. I feel like I have gotten bigger, but look more cut (my weight has stayed the same, 180 pounds at 5'10"). I have been working out six days a week (haven't missed a day!), hitting each muscle hard only once a week. I have also been getting at the cardio very hard too. Four days a week I am running on the treadmill for 40 minutes, and then the eliptical for 20 minutes. On the other two days (my legs days) I run on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I have also been pretty strict with my diet. It has been all lean meats, eggs, natural oatmeal, salads, peanut-butter jelly sandwitches, and fruits (especially with my shakes) the past seven weeks. I have not cheated with any junk or fast food.

Now this is where you guys are going to get mad at me, and this is where I need advice. The protein supplement I have been using is Nitro-tech, and the creatine I have been using is Cell-tech. However, after seven weeks, I am pretty broke (I am only 18, a full-time student and part-time worker).

So can anyone recommend me a new protein supplement that is high quality, but less denting on the wallet?

I did a little looking around, and what do you guys think about these two protein supplements?

GNC - GNC Tree: Sports Nutrition: Protein: Whey Protein: GNC Pro Performance® 100% Whey Protein - Chocolate

GNC - Protein: Whey Protein: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard™ - Cookies N' Cream

One more question. I am not too sure if the creatine is working, so I want to go off of it for about 4 weeks to see for myself (I do not want to be spending on it if it is not doing much). But I want to try something new. Does anyone know anything about these two stacks?

GNC - MuscleTech®: MuscleTech® Shredded Stack

GNC - Sports Nutrition: GNC Pro Performance® Cut & Burn Physique Program™

Do any of these two stacks help you get more cut? Any reconmendations on supplements or my workout regiment would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks, those are good finds. Out of the two protein powders I listed though, which one is better? And do you know anything about those two stacks I listed?
