creatine whilst "ON"

[andyjb]

I read somewhere that creatine and AAS compete for the same receptors and thus are counterproductive when run together.

However whats your experience with creatine and juice together?

Ive never heard that. I think they work via different pathways. Creatine swells muscle cells with fluid, increasing contraction strength and hypertrophy. It does not have any interaction with androgen receptors to my understanding.

I agree....I usually leave the creatine alone until I complete my cycle...but i've done an Anavar and creatine mix with some damn good results. I've read a few studies on Anavar and how it can increase the effects of creatine. Other than that i'd just stay away from it and use it when you come off. Anyone else heard of how effective Anavar and creatine are?

 

[Cauliflower Ear]

yeah cause anavar like allows your body to use more creatine or phosphocreatine or something...so it makes sence to take var and creatine

doesnt NOexplode have creatine in it? ive heard many a bro say they use that while on.

I'd read the same that anavar and creatine make a good combination. I haven't found any studies, though, so how much is just Internet folk lore is anyone's guess.

I think I read somewhere, too, that being on test increases creatine synthesis which would mean little point to taking more but that might also be BS.

For me, the main point to taking creatine is recovery. It helps a lot with recovery between sets and, I find, with recovery between sessions. Since being on aas does that job so very much better than taking creatine, I'd leave creatine to while 'off'.

What creatine does is increase the synthesis of ATP energy in the muscle cells; thereby allowing you to recover faster and to increase your strength. Another effect of creatine is cell volumisation. So as you can see it has nothing to do with the receptors. As for usage i prefer to use it while "off" since it's effects are subtle compared to AAS.
