I have never experienced any "crash" on AMP02 or Lipoflame. Both are good stuff

We are a very very small school but I think D2 or 3. It is changing I'm sure because enrollment is going down

----------

So Protein Shakes and some Creatine? And if Creatine , what brand or kind? It sounds like Amp02 is good stuff?

At 17, I wouldn't mess with anything else besides creatine and protein....

It really doesn't matter what brand. You can find lots of good deals on the internet, as well as protein.

Creatine basically increases the amount of water retention in your muscles, which will allow you lift more, get stronger, etc.


I haven't heard or used Amp02, in my experience, creatine is creatine, and I'd buy it as cheap as possible.

I do know a great company for protein: www.allthewhey.com.

I've bought from them for years, and have had great results.

Being in a small school, it gives that much more of chance to be the all star. Even coming here has automatically given you an advantage, with all the information here. I wish I would have found this site before I graduated, cuz it's only good info you learn here.

I went to a division 5 school, went to state 2x my junior and senior year, I always think about how much better my team could have been if they knew what I know now.

On here there was a guy who wasnt taking Lipoflame just Amp02 and it did that for him. Is it best to have them together or is just AMP02 okay?

Didn't see your post rage...

That's what I was thinking with my age. Some creatine has the better, more high quality stuff in it. Does that matter?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. But if you have a place to buy it then I wouldn't hesitate, nor stress too much about it....

I checked out that AllTheWhey.com site. When looking for Whey there is Isolate, Blend, Concentrate and Opti-Blend. Is the difference just in how they come?

I'll go hit up a local store for creatine and probably Whey also even though it seems the prices are lower online. I see there is a guide on here about creatine when buying but what about whey? What should I be looking for?

Well IMHO , creatine is not a good choice for an endurance athlete due to increased water retention and increased chances of dehydration. This is what I like about CEE products. You can get size and strength increases without the bloat of old school creatine. Water will still need to be consumed in decent amounts either way. But CEE is much safer. Not only that but many creatine users are non responders , meaning that thier liver will simply destroy any creatine taken orally.

This is what I like about CEE products such as lipoflame or amp02

Honestly I am constantly drinking at home, school not as much and then when lifting a ton. Between sets actually.

I always buy the blend because it's a bit cheaper but if you have the money go with isolate. Don't sweat the little stuff too much, just get your muscles some protein.

I'll probably pick up a 5lb of the Whey. Whats the different btw Isolate and Blend?

As for the Creatine, I'm gonna pick up some of the Micronized Creatine Monohydrate 1000g.

All of this from AllTheWhey.com .
