Creatine Monohydrate.

bigsahm21 · 06-05-2007, 09:17 PM

Before workout? After? Both? How many grams should I take each time?

**Prince** · 06-05-2007, 11:08 PM

most use around 5grams post work-out, you should consider CEE.

MUbodbuilder · 06-06-2007, 06:37 AM

CEE is the way to go. you wont have to take as much either with it.

danzik17 · 06-07-2007, 09:34 PM

Is there a compelling reason to use CEE over monohydrate? I have 500g of monohydrate that I got for like 8 bucks off of ATW that I need to go through (never been on creatine)

CEE has many benefits over CM, but if you already have CM use it.

Yea, use the CM. 5g after workout in grapejuice or a sports drink. Something w/ sugar.

There have been so many debates over which is better and everyone manages to come to the same conclusion and that's that it usually depends on who you are, some get better results from CM and some get better results from CEE.

I use CM for that reason. I did see some decent results back when my source of CEE was "CellMass" from the BSN stack. But CM is cheaper and works better for me.

is it critical to do the loading phase when taking cm? i have been taking cm and havent been seeing much of anything and my buddy said its because i skipped the loading phase. what do yall think?

forum9351 · 06-15-2007, 05:33 PM

no loading necessary. Big debate on the topic of creatine, but I see no purpose in loading. Do a search, theres more threads on the topic of loading.

liljojo4711 · 06-16-2007, 08:53 AM

so i guess im just a non responder. i will finish what i have and then switch cee and see how that works.

many people don't respond to CM but do respond well to CEE.

+how much water are you taking in bigsahm? That's a big factor.
