Kinda scared to ask this now coz I dont want to get flamed again for being a newbie. But if I'm not trying to be a body builder do I need to do the loading phase? I just want to get a lil bigger but not really that big.
Creatine and Protein

Sorry kid, i thought i, or one of us made it clear that you could take them together or not, doesn't really matter. They can be taken together or do it like jerkbox sugested.
Anyway, i think the loading phase is crap, but if you want, do it for a couple of days but for a whole week... i think it's a ploy to sell more. Don't worry, just because you do the loading phase, doesn't mean you will blow up like Nasser.
Just find what works for you. Just get some creatine in your body once a day after you work out and see how you like it. Everyone is different.
Nothing you do with this stuff will make such dramatic changes to your bady that you wont be able live with yourself.

Think of the taste, I know if you mix cell tech (comes in flavours like Grape, Lemon and lime) with a flavoured whey protein shake, it's going to be rancid taste. Been there tried that and still remember the taste of grape flavoured cell tech and vanilla flavoured whey protein shake mixed together, it was some kind of sick.
I do as someone else does, creatine/simple sugars drink then about 5 minutes after a protein shake, that's right after a work out.

5g creatine 30 min before workout with some carbs (shake, sandwhich), then 5g creatine immediately after workout with carbs (shake, sandwhich etc....)
thats all you need to know...
oh and drink a gallon or 2 of water through out the day... i wouldnt take creatine with anything acidic (juices, etc..) they breakdown the creatine into its waste product, creatinine. so... just use water

I agree with Matt. I have been buying the EAS Creatine. I probably am the only one that take my Creatine during my workout (with a lot of water). I prefere to follow up my workout with a protien shake. Protein powders and Creatine are the mainstain of my supplements. Two Protein shakes a day, and 10 grams of Creatine during my workout. But, like said earlier, don't substitue shakes for good protein sources like fish, and chicken. I use these shakes to help get to my daily goal of 220 grams of protein a day.
