Z||000000||TxRugby_8||09-04-2000||10:29 PM||txruggin_8@yahoo.com||the other day i read this article that said if you take a insulin mimicker and creatine it's supposed to work a shit load better.  is this true?  should i take alpha lipoic acid, chromium, or a diabetic fuel which has all that stuff?  should i cycle in glutamine and other aminos with creatine and insulin mimickers?  any feedback will be much apprecitated.  will this work with a liquid creatine such as ATP?  if so which is better powder or liquid?<p>[This message has been edited by TxRugby_8 (edited September 04, 2000).]||12.86.161.90||reg||

To be specific, here's exactly how I did it:<P>5 grams of creatine 10 mins before the end of my workout mixed with a bottle of grape juice (should be nearly 100 grams of carbs).<P>Post workout (20 mins later) I took 50 grams of protein plus 10 grams of glutamine.<P>I know you'll hear a lot about competition between glutamine, creatine and protein, but all I can say is that this combination was really effective for me.<P>I liked micronized creatine from Met-Rx the best. I could get a container of 100 5 gram servings for under 30 bucks. I never tried the Creatine serum, but have had too many negative stories run by me to take a chance. At any rate, you'll have to experiment to see what works best for you.||63.17.95.241||reg||
