How's Gakic?

[Steve A]

So has anyone tried this new stuff from MuscleTech, Gakic? I heard it's pretty good as far as strength enhancement and pumps go. Is that true?

A good rule of thumb: If it says "Muscle Tech" anywhere on the label, don't buy it.

Just got back from my workout where I tried my inital dose of Gakic. I was/am extremely disappointed. I took 1 scoop of the supp 1/2 before my workout (I have to say that it really tastes like shit...can't believe that they couldn't do something about the taste). Anyways, started out with squats (as I usually do) expecting to experience the claimed 10.5% increase in strength immediately. I felt absolutely NOTHING!! As my workout progressed I didn't feel any increased stamina either. I would have expected at least a moderate psychological gain but felt nothing. Hopefully, I was just having a bad day & I'll notice something with my next workout; but if I don't feel anything I'm going to make a concerted effort to find MuscleTech's email addy & send them a real nasty email. Never was a big MuscleTech user but had some hope that this prod would dispel all the nasty things I've heard about them.
I will also add that I am traditionally a 'low responder' to supps but thought due to the hype this stuff might be different...live and learn.

If you really want to waste your money, you would be better off waiting until next year when MuscleTech will likely bring out a new, enhanced form of GAKIC called GAKIC-C.

It will be promoted as being able to reduce fatigue, increase energy levels, and increase strength at much greater levels than regular GAKIC. It will also have the added bonus of giving your muscles a pump as well as being great in preventing a post-cylce crash. The reason for all this will be the result of an added ingredient ... Methionine.

The current version of GAKIC is glycine and arginine. So the New GAKIC-C will be glycine, arginine and methionine.

The reason it will be called GAKIC-C is because glycine, arginine and methionine are the three components of CREATINE.

Since it is a MuscleTech product, expect to pay upwards of 100 (US$) for a bottle of creatine ... oops, I mean GAKIC-C. Expect GAKIC-Cmd to follow a few years later with even better promises as the 'md' stands for maltodextrin and dextrose.

<<---- How could anyone hate this face.


It would explain why alot of my enquiries to supplement companies are answered via their legal departments. I guess I am just the boy they love to hate.

i too find gakic sucks big time...i took it twice and still got two more sample bags left. I got to meet jay cutler when i got these..so that made it all worth it but as far as the gakic goes...it didnt do anything for me AT ALL.
oh, fyi..i used the pills not the powder.

Well, in all fairness, I have to say that I ended up with the flu last week & maybe my 'results' from the first two doses of Gakic were related to that. I'm feeling better this week & will give it another try.
