Creatine and Protein

[Matt_Cham]

in my opinion cell tech is wasting your money. take some pure whey right after you work out. and before you hit the sack at night.


most people use creatine right after you work out and right when you wake up on non lifting days.


i have tried 3 different creatines so far.

vitargo cgl (sugarless)
cell tech
eas phosphagen HP


i like the last one the best so far and its cheap.

www.netrition.com has been great to me as far as supplements ...check it out.


anymore questions feel free to email me

yes, EAS phosphagen HP is the shitttt no doubt from all the choices above

i've been cycling with EAS and TwinLab Aminos for over 2 year back in the days and would recommend this combo for a beginner.....

Ok. I just ordered the EAS. But now I'm wondering how I'm suppose to take it in junction with the creatine. Can someone give me a daily guideline on how I'm suppose to take creatine and protein at the same time? I'm still confused about that.

Are you kidding me!
O.K.
1. Phosphagen HP contains creatine.
2. Take it exactly how the label sugests. (just to make it simple) Let me repeat... Take it exactly how the label sugests. Easy right?
3. You need some source of protien in every meal to grow. 5 to 6 meals a day about 3 hours apart.
4. You may or may not take them together. It really doesn't matter. You need protien right after you workout and if the label of the Phosphagen suggests that you take it right after you workout, then take them together. You can mix them in one drink or one right after the other.

Got it. The reason i'm harping on the protien so much is because it is so much more important then the creatine. Protien is what muscles are made of. You seem so fixated on the creatine. It's not a magic potion.

Good Luck,

T Bone

Dude why don't you do a search before you keep on asking stupid questions. There must be 1000+ posts asking the same question. And no matter what anybody tells you: NEVER buy Cell-tech or Creatine Serum. You'll get gains on any creatine if it works for you. I personally like AST's Micronized Creatine mixed with dextrose (which you can get from your local health food store, AKA glucose/corn syrup).

T Bone said it best, everyone thinks creatine is a magic potion, if anything protein is your magic potion and you should take lots of it! get 2 g of protein per bodyweight for a month, then up it to 2.5g the next month, and then if you really want to see strengh go 3 g the next month. If you insist on taking creatine i would go with V12 by SAN, its the shit man.

sorry guys I am not some body building pros like you all. And serioiusly I did try to search before I did try to ask my 'stupid' question. show me one freaking post that talks about taking protein and creatine at the same time. I saw nothing I was looking for. I just wanted to be sure about something before I take it. I am already taking protein so I already know how it works thats why I'm not asking about it. You guys may have big muscles and shit but they ain't as big as your freaking egos. Thanks for all the help

i think the dude was really tryina to ask if its ok to take creatine and protein at the same time or split them up.

 

[jerkbox]

here's what I do:

immediately after workout:

creatine + some type of simple carbs (be it already mixed with it, or gatorade or whatever....dextrose seems to be the prefered )

about 15 minutes later - protein shake.



very simple.


i personally love the phosphagen - it tastes great...the optimum stuff looks like a good deal too.

 

[moneyshotz]

Thanks guys. Thats about all I wanted to know...
