Creatine and cutting

[Babyfaced Assassin]

If i wanted o enhance my workouts and explosive power bt still cut fat, would creatine fit into my diet well?

right now im taking ECAY stack
ALA
as supplements as well as post workout shake and protein throughout the day but will creatine help or hinder me?


Thanks

of course it would be beneficial for maintainin muscle mass etc but it might not b so great psychologically when you hit the scales and look at yourself in the mirror.I hyad to drop a cycle because it was to hard to determine cuttin progres.

I will probably make you look a little less defined (since the creatine will make you hold a bit of water, but I've brought myself down to pretty low bf %ages (7-9%) while taking creatine.

Just space out the dose of creatine and your doses of ECA by about 4 hours.

Usually I'd take the ECA at 7am, 12:30pm, then again around 4-5pm. After work I'd go the gym and have my postwork shake with creatine around 9-10pm and this worked just fine for me.

I was reading on CEM that creatine COULD possibly be fat-sparring. I'll see if I can dig up the thread.
