currently trainin 4-5 days a week in the gym for rugby and for personal goals...i hav been reccomended cyclone by a fair few people but as a student i cant afford its high price for the amount of servings it has just wondering if makin my own out of monohydrate, protein and glutamine wud make much of a difference?

Im sure if ya save a bit you will defo be able to afford some stuff from this site...Its not so expensive plus its good stuff and lasts:) There is a wide variety to choose from.I aint that loaded myself, dont think the supplements here are that pricy at all>
Goodluck to making ur own man:)

Stay away from maximuscle. I think when most people started taking supplements it was the natural reaction to go to maximuscle but its way too expensive. All your paying for is the branding/advertising.

Too be honest you would probably grand with some standard protein from the likes of IDS or Optium Nutrition. They will last you way longer than anything from maximuscle. The 5lb tub will give you 60 to 80 servings for the same price as cyclone compared to about 20 servings with cyclone.
If you really want you could get some micronized creatine monohydrate as well cause you can get it fairly cheap and just mix it in or take it with some sort of quick release carbs.

The alternative is to look at some of the other weight gainers such as smart gainer from IDS. You get 30 servings for about 70 and it tastes really good.

But if your getting something on a budget id probably just invest a good tub of protein. Just remember you can train and take as much creaine etc as you want but your body needs protein to grow.

cyclone is a waste of money get your self some waximaze micronized creatine and a whey isolate, it will be cheaper in the long run than forking out 60euro every 10days for maxi muscle products that dont work that well

Well said HornDog and seanydee,if you keep your diet clean,high in protein and calories and combine it with products such as IDS Waximaize and Dymatize Microized Creatine (which lasts forever by the way) you will be seeing gains in no time,just stay focused and the rest will follow.

my diet is unreal at the moment and i getin good gains just wunderin if cyclone was any use!!..gona just get sum monohydrate and ids whey i think seems to be the way to go

The waximaize is good shit as wel man.

cyclone is not good for the amount of money you are spending i found IDS smart gainer to be the best if you are looking for strength and gaining weight. i currently go to the gym 6 days a week with 2 training sessions and a match at the weekends smart gainer is the way if it is strength and size you want!
