mixing creatine - any downsid?

DPK325 · 07-15-2006, 03:29 PM

just a simple question from someone not incredibly familiar with creatine. i have used GNC creatine and NO-XPLODE creatine in the past, and i currently prefer NO-XPLODE. however, it is much more expensive, and it includes a lot of other ingredients like caffeine, n.o., etc, that from my understanding are only really helpful on the days you work out. so my question is this: would there be any downside to just using NO-XPLODE on the days I lift, and taking cheaper GNC creatine on my days off, to save money?

thanks in advance

no. in fact you should take that GNC creatine with the NO XPLODE. there's only 1 g of creatine in that stuff

No. If you are taken cellmass, that's all you should need.

indeed to both of those. I started working almost a year ago, and lifting has been sporadic, if at all since then. I suddenly have a car payment, and responsibility.

I got a better job now, and more time to lift.

bahh!!!! make time to lift! I get up at 330am!! Hulk smash!!!!

i failed 2 classes because I had no time, last year. Now I have WAAAAAY more time. And more motivation

EDIT: and money!

I make about twice as much money as I did at my last job. I rarely work much more than 20 hours a week during school, now, and still have more money and time than I did before

good, the cafe is kicking ass, I just got a great review in a county newspaper, I got a new yeeob (job) and I'm in the middle of a good cut using carb cycling. After September, I plan on carb cycling during a bulk. Life is good!
