Real Weight Training has got the inside scoop on a hot new product coming out from Scivation. The new product is called Quake 10.0 and should be available mid February. I am a huge Scivation fan and use many of their products (Whey, Xtend, Showtime) on my regular supplement schedule. I have written to Scivation president Marc Lobliner to see if I can get a tub of Scivation Quake 10.0 to review and log here on the blog. I will be posting updates if he agrees to send me one According to Marc, Scivation Quake 10.0 is some really powerful stuff. He’s been using it in his lead up to the Arnold show and says that “it’s really powerful stuff”.

Keep an eye out for future posts about Scivation Quake 10.0 - as I am definitely going to try it!

Optimum Nutrition has just announced their latest whey protein product, Platinum Hydrowhey. This comes as big news as Optimum has been holding out on the bodybuilding community for quite some time about this release, things we’re kept very quiet! Optimum usually goes the GNC route when launching their new products, but this time internet retailers we chosen to lunch Platinum Hydrowhey to the public.

Here’s what Optimum had to say about their new Platinum Hydrowhey:

“Platinum Hydrowhey is the fastest, purest, most advanced whey protein we’ve ever developed. In a word: excellence. By hydrolyzing the protein in this premium formula we’ve created our fastest-acting whey protein yet. Hydrolyzing breaks larger proteins down into smaller pieces that are able to get into your system rapidly, enabling your muscles to start rebuilding quickly.”

Platinum Hydrowhey is not going to appeal to everyone though, it’s more expensive than most protein supplements including 100% Whey Gold Standard (also made by Optimum), and most other premium protein blends. I think Hydrowhey is really going to appeal to the serious athlete who won’t mind spending the extra cash to get the best protein product available.

Have you tried Platinum Hydrowhey yet? If you have tried it, please leave your comments and reviews below!

News just in, CytoSport (the makes of Muscle Milk) have just released Muscle Milk Refuel. Muscle Milk refuel is an energy shot with a twist, it also contains 5 grams of whey protein isolate. This is what I like about CytoSport, they take existing product ideas and make them better, not just clone them like some other companies.

I have tried quite a few energy shots, and being caffeine sensitive they usually result in hue amounts of energy and a BIG crash. No matter how much the bottles say no crash, I got one. I think that the new Muscle Milk Refuel shot is going to be much better for those that are sensitive to caffeine, as it contains less than half the caffeine than many other energy shots. So rather than taking one per day, you could space them out and take 1-3 and really get “hours of energy” without the crash.

Anyone tried these? If you have, let me know in the comments!

I try a lot of supplements, especially protein powders. I like to try out what mixes good, what tastes good and what gives you the most bang of your buck. I have tried dozens of protein powers over the years, probably quite a few you haven’t tried! So I thought I’d post some of them up in case you might want to give them a go.

All these protein powders are decent value for money and taste good, I wouldn’t post ones that I didn’t like! These are all whey protein products, not weight gainers etc. If you have any comments or have tried any of these let me know in the comments at the bottom of the page!

Alright guys n girls, it’s time to review CytoSport Fast Twitch Caffeine Free! I have been itching to try this stuff since I stopped taking Gaspari’s SuperPump 250 because of the caffeine it contained. Like a lot of people, I am very caffeine sensitive. One cup of coffee and I’m bouncing off the walls! But  a few hours later I’m crashing and have no energy.

I have been taking CytoSport Fast Twitch for about 6 1/2 weeks now and thought I’d share some of my experiences with it, especially since I’ve tried quite a few nitric oxide products.

In the past you could say I’ve been a bit bias when it comes to weight gain supplements. The truth is I have tried a lot of weight gainers, and all of them apart from CytoGainer and N-Large II had at least 1 thing I didn’t like about them. Some tasted like ass, others didn’t mix well, and my pet hate with weight gainers, some were full of filler ingredients and high in sugar and lactose.

I am lucky enough to have a friend who works at my local GNC, so he gets me good deals from time to time. He’s a big True Mass fan and said if I want to try it he can get me a real good deal. So why not!?

I’ve always liked eating protein bars. I always have a few laying around the house, I keep some at work and I take them when I do other outdoor sports like hiking and mountain bike riding. I’ve tried a few over the years, about half of which I didn’t like the taste/texture of at all!

I recently came across this post over at the Supplements Explained site: best tasting protein bars. These guys tested about 20 top protein and nutritional bars on the market, definitely worth a read.

I consider myself a supplement skeptic. I don’t go for hype, I don’t believe what I read in magazines and I am the first person to write of a new supplement when it comes onto the market. Today I’m going to write about my experiences with nitric oxide supplements, in particular, Gaspari Nutrition’s Superpump 250.
