Thread: Creatine Question

Loading that much is just a way to make you spend more money. You can double the dose instead of quadrupling it and still get a decent frontload. When I take creatine, I find it works better and I get less cramping if I spread it out in more than one dose. Usually two to three, one before and one after. Take it with fruit juice or I might be wrong on this but I used to use Gatorade with it. You're protein supplement won't hurt or interfere with you creatine.

Hey Guys


I made a post over on the bodybuilding forums aswell and thought it would be easier then re-posting it all on here

If you could take a look and give some helpful advice on how I should be balancing out protein and creatine on my cardio and weight lifting days it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Do you make your shakes with milk? Milk has sugar in it, so that would work. I'm still not a big proponate of going apeshit with the loading. Only ever caused cramping for me. You should like the strength gains you see with it rather quickly. Still one of the best supplements for strength gains that doesn't require going to the darkside.

Usually just mix it with water, althought I have never thought if using milk.

I pretty much stick with skim milk, do you think there would be enough sugar in it to carry the creatine along with the protein? Also would the protein counter act the creatine or would they both work together.

Worst comes to worst I can down my protein with water....then a small glass of grape juice with creatine 30-45min prior to workout.

Im doing pretty much a balance of cardio and weight lifting
