Thread: Creatine & Coffee ?

i dont think its going to be a big deal, if anything, caffeine is gona bbost you "reformance"

but some research seems to suggest caffeine interferes with creatine uptake, but the benifit you get from the coffee (energy to work out) is probably more than the benifit creatine can give you. WHat ggod is it if you don't have enough energy to get in a good workout?

Sounds good to me....Coffee it is!

I've read the caffiene interference thing is just a rumor. I believe bodybuilding.com just did an article over it. Do a search.

Why not take the creatine post workout.That would be the ideal time.

That is what I was thinking. I think some people take it both pre and post workout. I for one take it post workout, but whatever wets your noodle.

EDIT: I have heard conflicting reports regarding caffeine interfering with the creatine. Just to be on the safe side, I keep the two separate.

I used to do the "after work only creatine." But ever since I started taking some before my workout, my strenght is a lot greater. Thanks!

why the fuck u need to take it twice anyways??? ur just pissing ur god damn money away that way, have some coffe if you want b4 your workout then eat and take ur creatine half hour later......plus a lot of people have that in their mind that creatine helps them do better right away, i remember wheni took it the first time and i dindt know much about it, the same day i went working out and it was such a great workout that i thought it was the creatine but it wasnt since it was just the first day.......................

QuestionGuy - Isn't it a personal opinion? I personally take creatine about an hour before and immediately after a workout. Maybe it's just mental, but I notice a better pump and better overall workout. If he wishes to take creatine pre workout and post workout let him have at it.
