After Cycle, During, or Both? (Creating and Glutamine)

[rogerwilcox]

First week - first cycle.

Creatine and Glutamine worked great for me (in my pre-gear days), but I'm wondering if I should lay off them during my cycle - thinking that kicking them in when I get off my cycle will help prevent me from going catabolic and give me an extra kick of strength during my workouts.

Any advice on this from the pros?

I use L-Glutamin at 20g's a day year round but I always save the creatine for post cycle (which just happens to be right now ) What does your cycle look like ?

M18,

Why do you only use it post cycle? Is it b/c the reason roger stated....? if not, reason?

Your body is under enough stress while on gear and I just don't feel it is nessesary on cycle unless you are using Anavar. I like it post cycle as it helps you recover from a workout and helps you keep your strength

Hey M18,

Thanks for the advice, bro. I see you helping everyone out on this board all day and think that's pretty fucking cool. Karma bump to you.

Here's my cycle:

Ditto on KBs question. Also, why the glutamine all the time?

Thanks, amigo.

L-Glutamin has had many positive effects on me. It helps me recover on and off a cycle faster. I have also noticed it helped with my anxiety and joint pain. I have read in a couple books that Glutamin can have that effect. I did not expect it but I am glad it helped and I will continue to use it year round as long as I can afford it

M18 what kind of anxiety do you have? Do you ever get chest pains? If so do you think it is because of AS? I have recently been getting some anxiety attacks(never had before) and sometimes I get chest pains, and during my work out my heart sometimes races and I get short of breath. I no longer use products with ephderine in them and am not on anything right now but vitamins. I drink plenty of water and eat good. I am going to the doctor next week. What should I tell him and do i let him know that I have used AS or just say andro creatine and ephedrine products.

M18 - thanks for the words. I'll start doing it on cycle.

As for joint pain - you're talking to the friggin' king of joint pain here. For me, Glucosamine, Condroitin, and MSM combo works miracles. GNC (I know, I know - they suck) finally came out with a combo pill with all 3 (only place I know to get all three in one pill - very convenient). I'm sure you already know about this, but just for the brothers reading this who need the info...

My anxiety started with my use of E/C/A products and when I started my first cycle which contained Eq my anxiety got real bad. It is all but gone now but I can never use Eq again cause it really messes with my head. Both times I have tried it I have got back anxiety and panik attacks. Stay away from stimulants!! I did get chest pains toward the left side of my chest so I thought it was my heart but when I got a bunch of tests done they all came back negative for any heart probs. The sides you described are very common sides on anxiety. I would be honest with your doc.
