MuscleTech keeps on coming out with new supplements and one of the new ones is After Build Lab Series. When you get done with crushing your work out you need a great post work out supplement and MuscleTech's After Build Lab Series is the one. I was sent this product to test and review. 

Here is a little bit about Lab Series After Build. 

4:1:1 BCAA Matrix  
L-leucine       4g
L-isoleucine  1g
L-valine        1g

Growth & Recovery Matrix
L-glutamine                   2g
Creatine Monohydrate  2g
Creatine HCI                 1g

Lean Muscle & Performance Matrix
Betaine              2.5g
Taurine                 1g

Hydro-Electrolyte Support Blend
Sodium Chloride            63.5mg
Dipotassium Phosphate  55.5mg
Coconut Water                   50mg
Black Pepper Extract        5.26mg

You need to read the whole label and follow the directions to the "T". This supplement is powerful. When I went and got this to test and review I went and tested this product to the max. First I tested the taste, It tasted very good with no after taste. For the mixing test, I went and tried the old stirring with a spoon in the glass of water and it mixed fairly good. Then I went and tried to mix it in a shaker cup and it passed with flying colors. And for the final test I tried it in a fruit punch smoothie and it tasted great and mixed extremely well with no funky after taste.

Phase 2 of my testing was to see how the recovery and strength  went after using it for a month. After the first 4 days I noticed that my recovery was getting better and by the 4th week I had to work out even harder to feel the soreness but the soreness was very minimal. During that time I noticed that my strength was increasing as well as my muscle mass as well. 

MuscleTech's After Build Lab Series post work out far exceeded my tests in everything. I highly recommend this to family friends and anyone who wants a faster recovery and that extra strength and muscle mass. Also with this post work out you need to drink lots of water because of the Creatine in it. What I like about After Build Lab Series is the BCAA's and the support blend. The BCAA's help with the synthesis of protein that you need for your muscles and also the Support blend because it helps with the replacement of the electrolytes that you burn and use during your workouts. When you stack After Build with the 100% Whey Advanced you will see more results.

100% Whey Advanced Protein Lab Series by MuscleTech Review

Photo Taken by Joseph Valo III
MuscleTech came out with a new protein powder called 100% Whey Advanced a few months ago and I had the opportunity to test and review it. MuscleTech takes great pride in the taste and what they put in their product. What MuscleTech did was create a whole mew protein powder with the highest quality ingredients and pure protein.

What they also did was put BCAA's in with it and also Glutamine too. What that does is help and aid in the absorption of protein and help with recovery and to build lean muscle as well. This is great to take right after you are done with your work out and great with smoothies too.

This protein powder has 25 grams of protein, 5.6 grams of BCAA's , 4.4grams of Glutamine and Precursor per scoop. Also it is Banned Substance free as well as the serving size is 1 scoop.

I tested MuscleTech's Lab Series 100% Whey Advanced protein powder in the following categories, Taste. Mix, how much muscle I gained and also how the recovery was too. So let's get to it now.

The taste was really great and it tasted just like triple chocolate brownie and didn't have funky after taste as well. First, when I mixed it I tried several different ways too. I went and mixed it in a shaker cup with bottled water and there was no clumps and everything blended well. Then I tried it with vanilla soy milk and it still mixed well. I also tried it with the water in a glass and mixing it with a spoon and that worked to a certain point but I recommend that you use a shaker cup to mix it. Then for the ultimate test I went and made a triple chocolate peanut butter brownie smoothie and it passed with flying colors and tasted just like the real thing.

Since I have been taking the 100% Whey Advanced protein powder I have noticed a faster recovery because of the BCAA's and have gained about 4 pounds of lean muscle in about 4 weeks.

I also want to stress about reading the whole label and look at the indigence to see if you may be allergic to anything.

I would definitely recommend this protein powder to anyone who wants to gain lean muscle and a faster recovery. Also I would definitely recommend this to family and friends as well. I am completely satisfied with this supplement and will be buying it in the near future. You can find MuscleTech's Lab Series 100% Whey Advanced Protein Powder here.
