Has anyone tried Gakik by MuscleTech yet? I read it gives instant results. I walk into GNC today and they tried to sell it to me also, saying one of the guys there uses it and it is very good. It's just so darn expensive at 80 bones for 16 serving scoops. Thanks in advance.

If money is an issue i would hold off and see hold the reviews go, i'm sure its nothing that's going to rock the bodybuilding world. I remeber looking over it, it looked pretty well like a highcarb/high protein supplment to me. Much like alot of people here do by adding simple sugars to our whey post workout. But i'm just thinking out loud.

What kind of "instant results" are we talking about?

They say a "10.2% immediate muscle increase".

Nothing gives instant results.:nope: Not even steroids.
I just looked it up. That is TOTAL B.S. Ain't no way anything is gonna increase your strength 10% after your 1st dose!!!

I just finished with my bottle of Gakic. Just my luck that they come out with the pill form after I buy the powder! Trust me, if you ever buy the stuff, buy the pills. And HONEST TO GOD my strength has gone up some. It took about 3 days to kick in, but what I would do is down the stuff about 30-45 minutes before my workout. I'm not saying that this is a miracle drug or anything, but it's also not a placebo drug. The added weights did all the talking for me! IMO, if you have the money to spend, might as well give it a try. Then you will know if it really works for you. :gl:

BAN GNC.

and BAN MUSCLETECH.

By the way - http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mt/gakic.html - $53.89.

By the way again - http://www.gakic.com/register/register-free-gakic.shtml - instead of spending money get a free sample here (note that I keep seeing people on other forums saying that they have not received their free sample yet).

By the way again - http://forum.bodybuilding.com/search.php - type in "Gakic" and do a search, there's tons of threads and some logs. Be sure to spell it properly too. :)

i knew ppl would be against me on this one lol. just letting u know of my personal gains. i know many don't have much faith in supplements, and they have reason to believe so. For years, there have been fads on the market that are worthless. science has come a long way though. other guys in my gym swear by this stuff as well. but i do agree with you doordude. even steroids don't boost strength immediately. i think the "immediate gain" is a bit of a stretch. but i was able to break through some plateaus :tucool:

I have no doubt and for the record, I believe everything you say. However, 10% immediate gains is a pipe dream. I'll kiss their :moon: if that's true. :whistle:

Don't forget that placebo is quite powerful.

I'm not saying this stuff is a placebo but you're 100% correct. The mind is very powerful!!!:tu:
Unless of course you do this>:bang: for an extended period of time.:D

I don't know that it is all placebo either. I didn't really look into it much but I will just out of curiosity. Looks like a lot of carbs so far, but I'll read about it when I get a chance. I can't stand Muscle Tech but I will agree it seems to be getting better reviews than most of their past products (except for the rediculous price though).

Oh wow! I just drank a protein shake and my biceps grew 2 inches immediately! j/k :D :spank:

Here's the thing I don't understand. If it's not a placebo effect. How can the pill's work as quick as the powder?:confused: The body couldnt break those down and absorb the goodies in them as quick as the powder.:confused: Not saying it doesnt work. I dont know. I havent tried them, but 10.5% immediate increase with a pill. C'mon. :nono: Any thoughts?

Unless there is some kind of time release component specifically built into a pill, powders are absorbed only slightly faster.

But seriously folks, I'd have to do this :bang: about a hundred times in a row before I believed anything in those magazines.
