Anavar and Creatine

So Anavar stimulates phosphocreatine synthesis in the muscle cell. Does this have any relation to creatine? Would taking creatine while on Var improve the effectiveness of the Var... interfere with it... have no affect at all? Thnx

ADP + Phospate = ATP

ADP = Adenosine DI-Phosphate(2 Phosphates)
ATP = Adenosine TRI-Phosphate(3 Phosphates)

The theory is that Oxandrolone increases the amount of phosphates available for ATP synthesis, giving you greater strength.

You first have to understand that no biological process is 100% effective. Quite the opposite, they are always quite ineffective.

Ok, now we add Creatine Phosphate to the mix.

W/o Oxandrolone, Creatine Phosphate use does the exact same thing as Ox. it donates a phosphate to the ADP-ATP synthesis, creating more ATP.

ADP + Phosphate fro Creatine P. = ATP

Now, what nobody really knows is that if you add Creatine to Ox, you get a synergisitc increase in the ADP-ATP synthesis. This has yet to be proven.

Now, there are 2 empirical scenarios.

If the increase in ADP-ATP synthesis caused by the Ox is smaller than that caused by the Creatine, then you will get some benefit.

If the increase in ADP-ATP synthesis caused by the Ox is bigger that that caused by creatine, you won't get any benefit.

The problem here is, that you simply don't know which scenario is true because different people have totally different responses to ox and to creatine. So we're left with the old trial and error scenario. Try them both. And whichever works best....well then that's the one for you.

Not overly scientific I'll grant you.
