How to Cycle Cell Tech

Cell-Tech is a nutritional supplement manufactured by Muscle Tech. Although the main constituent is creatine, the product's patented formula features numerous other ingredients to maximize its muscle-building effects. Dextrose is added to ensure insulin will send the creatine into muscle cells, while taurine, malic acid, vitamin C and other nutrients also work in synergy for maximum results. The manufacturer claims that in an 8-week study, previously untrained subjects using Cell-Tech gained over 9 lbs. of mass, compared with 4 lbs. for the placebo group.

Instructions

• 1

  Weigh yourself and take detailed measurements. To accurately track your progress, take proper measurements. Start by weighing yourself on an empty stomach in the morning. Do so over a few successive days and record the average reading. Next, measure the circumference of your upper arms, thighs, chest, neck and waist. For arms and thighs take two sets of measurements, with your muscles fully relaxed and flexed. To keep your records objective, take these measurements before your weight training session. Recordings taken when the muscles are "pumped" will be influenced by the intensity of the training session and be therefore less accurate.

• 2

  Start a weight training program. Cell-tech is designed for use in conjunction with a weight training program. Before using the product, research different training protocols and consider working with a personal trainer. Ask fellow athletes questions you may have about your existing routine on discussion forums and try a few different exercise protocols before you settle on one that you really like.

• 3

  Take two servings of Cell-Tech daily. Consume one serving in the morning and another 12 hours later or on workout days immediately after your training session. Continue this dosing protocol for the first 5 days. This is referred to as the "loading phase" and will ensure that the concentration of creatine in your muscle tissues reaches a critical threshold as quickly as possible.

• 4

  Take one serving of Cell-Tech immediately after your training session on workout days. On days when you will not go to the gym, take one serving upon waking. This is the maintenance phase and should immediately follow the loading phase in step 3. This dosing schedule will ensure that you will always have sufficient creatine in your muscles. According to the manufacturer, Cell-Tech should be used for a minimum of 8 weeks. There is no maximum duration you can stay on Cell-Tech, and you do not need to take a break from using the product, unless you so desire.

• 5

  Combine Cell-Tech with a second supplement. The optional practice of combining two supplements for maximum effectiveness is called "stacking." Two popular stacks involving Cell-Tech involve combining the product with Muscle Tech's Nitro-Tech or Hydroxycut. The first combination aims to maximize muscle gains, while the second is designed to increase muscle, while burning fat. Refer to each product's label guidelines for further directions.
