Glutamine

[Yanick]

Speaking of creatine, what your opinions on the theory that creatine and glutamine compete for absorption into the muscle? I don't know if i believe it or not, but i still take creatine pre w/o and glutamine post just to be on the safe side.

I have no opinion on that theory as I'm not familiar with it.
I take 5/g glutamine in the am after an intense workout the night before to alleviate DOMS. Otherwise, 5/g of Glutamine and 5/g of Creatine before and after a workout. Only take 5/g of each on my off days which is only one of two days a week.
By the way.... 5/g of Creatine 45 mins before Cardio has increased how fast and far I can run!
Also seeing more muscle mass in addition to strength,

That is cool, however, I do not believe that they compete even though the theory is thrown around. I have always used them together with tremendous results.
