Taking Creatine? Please help...

[WannaBPowerful]

Do i have to take it with grape juice? Can i take it with fruit punch or iced tea? They are both high in sugar. Should i just buy dextrose and put it in the drink i use? I want maximal results here.

As long as you don't take it with citrus drinks, just about any of those will work pretty much the same. I've taken it with gatorade, grape juice, even coke when I was desparate.

I am not an expert about this...maybe Cornholio will post here. I'd be interested to hear what he says too...

I mix mine with powerade that I drink on Sundays when I event train (3-4 hours long). I also add it in the last 2-3 weeks pre-contest (strongman) to help with recovery and potential better muscular endurance increase. I drink mine throughout the day though..

I dont know if it is in my head, or if my body just loves the stuff, but I notice great strength increases when Im taking creatine. I love the stuff, and my weights have gone up a considerable amount each week! I know all good things come to an end, but I want to postpone this as long as possible!!!!

Your strength will most likely increase. I can usually lift about 5-10% more weight once I'm fully loaded on creatine. So a 100 lb max lift will jump up to about 105-110 lbs. I'll admit, thats not a huge jump, but its for real.

You'll also gain a few lbs, for me its about 5 lbs.

The only problem with creatine is its a one time deal. You get your extra 5-10 lbs of weight and strength, and then it stops. You don't keep getting gains from it. And when you stop, you lose the weight and somtimes the strength.

So I'm not sure if its really worth it or not.

cool aid will do too.

avoid acidic beverages.....and try to not have too much caffeine while youre on it----it works against cell volumization.

Creatine in a sports dring that contains some sugar is ideal.

Do bot load.

Take 5-10 grams per day.

I had good results taking 5 grams PRE and POST workout.

Help boost atp energy. More beneficial for exercises, or in FOlds case, events which have a high rep threshhold or an endurance factor
