Creatine what type and when

[Babyfaced Assassin]

Hi guys

Creatine
Ok i wanna supplement with creatine as part of my thai and kickboxing regimen

I can afford to put on a few lbs at this stage as i want to move up a weight class anyway so im thinking of creatine as it will also hopefully enhance endurance and explosiveness

so what type would be best?
Monodyrate, citrate, phosphate etc?
Powder, cocktails, serums?
And when's the best time to take pre workout or post workout?

also what product/brand would u guys reccomend?


Thanks

If you respond to creatine, then creapure is a wise choice...

If you're a creatine non-responder, then my vote goes to Syntrax Swole V2

With creatine, you don't need to load up on it. Take 5g PWO and you'll do fine

I've always used powders... mostly Prolab and Met-rx Creatine Monohydrate. I would do 10 day load @ 25g a day and then maintain by taking 5g 30-45 minutes prior to training and another 5g @ some point during the day. On for 12 weeks off for 12 weeks. There is a newer one out that people are asaying some good things about. It's called Russian Red - they use a new technology called Acujube... it's basically a gummi bear w/creatine in it. Apparently they have figured a way to keep it stable in the gel form.

if you don't want a lot of waterweight and lose it all when your done taking it. Take CREATINE TITRATE. In the morning or before your workout. when your done taking it you'll lose 1 pound or 2 compared to phospagen and monohydrate you'll lose like 10. also its great for energey. And it tastes like lemonade !!! GOOD STUFF
