cytosport?
i got some free samples, myofusion is a lot better in taste and mixing, you can email them for free samples, i emailed their american team, who then forwarded it to their UK team, didnt take too long for them to arrive.

Unflavoured whey is definitely 'meh'.

ive emailed a lot of people for free samples, they usually send them out no problems.
cytosport
body temple
gaspari
a few others too, just look at monster supplements website, get the names of the manufacturers, google their websites and then get the email from there. then email them asking politely for some samples or forwarding the mail onto someone who can help them.
its a pity we dont get the same treatment as the americans, if you look at bodybuilding.com foums theirs guys who have got enough samples, t-shirts, bags, etc to last them a long long time.

samples anyone?
^ Amazing! How did you pull that off? (assuming they're free samples)
Anyone using the standard creatine mono from MP? Been using their CEE which was fine, but opted for mono this time as I was starting to get sick of the horrific taste of the CEE. Seems like the mono just doesn't dissolve in water at all really, there's probably 70% of a serving left at the bottom of the glass as powder. Strange as the reviews on MP's site all say it dissolves really well, so perhaps I've got a bad batch?
Not massively important other than having read that and undissolved creatine won't be absorbed as well as possibly causing digestive issues.

How much water are you using you need around 100ml per gram of powder.

How the hell did you get all those samples 
I just keep mixing like a maniac and drink. Drink, mix, drink, mix. To be honest, creatine is one area where I don't usually shoot for MP stuff. It's cheaper, yes, but it taste ****** horrible. Next I'm buying Cellmass from BSN which I've used before and the taste is rather pleasant too. Pure creatine is just too rough to neck.
Tried it with varying amounts of water both hot and cold. Pretty sure there's something wrong with it so have emailed MP to see what they say.
regulas, you reckon that brand name creatine is that much better? tbh there's no noticeable taste to the mono so isn't a problem for me.

Mitotropin, a week in use
Mitotropin is a fat burner, and is taken for 30 days. It's supposed to be 30 days before a contest or before you finish the diet. It's got rave reviews from some amateur bodybuilders and forum users. I decided to give it a punt
So I've been taking this the past week. By no means did I ever buy it to perform miracles, I never expected it to do anything special, but as I'm competing, any help I can get I'll take
You take 6 tablets a day, 3 in the morning 30 minutes before food, and 3 6-8 hours later. I'm currently taking 3 before my hour cardio in the morning, around 6:30 then have my food straight after that, and the next lot I take at 1pm right before my workouts. These are big pills, and they stink, kind of smells like paint
Now taking them is where the fun starts. In the morning on an empty stomach, for the first couple of days, I felt like I was going to puke. A horrible feeling of nausea, but energy shoots up, and you feel, well mentally you feel great. They really do give you a boost both to your energy and your mood. It's quite a bizarre thing to do, improving your mood, no other caffeine supplement or energy booster has done this. And the best thing is, a week into it I no longer get the nausea, well ever so slightly, but I still get the energy and mood lifting just as intensely.
There's no crash and the energy remains there throughout the day. Now again, this was an issue the first two days as I barely had any sleep and was up all night. But my body soon adapted and I was back to sleeping like a baby
These last few days I have felt slightly warmer, not uncomfortable and not bothering me but it is noticeable. The only other side effect I've noticed is I'm suffering with really bad head rushes if I get up after being sat down or led down for a while, not a bad effect if I'm honest, feels kind of cool haha but never got this before
As for what it's intended to do, this week I have lost 1.4kg. Which is my highest for a while and very impressive for 8 weeks out. How much of that is down to Mitotropin remains to be seen but so far I'm positive and would recommend it.
Pros:
- Great and constant energy levels throughout the day
- Mood lifting benefits
- Seems to be working
- No crashes
Cons:
- Dodgy first two 'bedding in' days
- They are big pills which can be an issue for people

How the hell did you get all those samples
thats not my pic, stole it off the bodybuilding.com forums, i see pictures like that posted all the time on there, in america, you get samples given out by the bucketload, here in the UK we pay for them, lmao its a joke, if i wanted samples of every flavour of myproteins whey or ironsciences whey i would need to fork out. in america the company would just send me them.
also every time you make an order with a supplement company in america, be it bodybuilding.com or gnc or any other company, they throw free samples and other things into the box, stuff like free t shirts, free shakers, free bottles, free bags, etc. here you get nothing what you ordered and nothing else.
look at this

he probably got those packets free with that order
look at this thread, some of the stashed will amaze you
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...highlight=post+pics+supplement+stash&page=146
supplements are like 50% the price over there than they are here and they get treated like royalty, we pay through the nose and **** on
supposedly we have 2 reps for some companies that post on here, i asked them for free samples and i got nothing lol.
