when to take protein and creatine

[JackBauer121]

i have a post workout creatine and whey protein. i am wondering if right after my workout i should take the creatine then right away take the protein or what. im not sure if i would get the same effects as having them together or having them seperated. if you could help me it would be great. thanks

It depends on the user. Myself for example, cannot take them together because I get dehydrated easily from those two mixed. When I do, I get severe headaches, and when that settles in over night, it hurts for a long time. Note: I also drink 2 gallons of water a day, but that is just how my body responds. 5 grams of creatine cannot be absorbed at once either. It's best if you can split the doses up. An example would be maybe a 2:2:1 ratio throughout the day.

take the together within 15 of the end of working out.

Jack Bauer doesn't need supplements. Supplements need Jack Bauer.

What kind of creatine, and how much are you looking to take?

 

[JackBauer121]

Im looking to get the bsn mass stack. Which has no-xplode. nitrix and cell mass. So i would use cell mass and i would only take 1 scoop after my workout. Maybe another one 6 hours after like it recommends.

 

[JackBauer121]

Anyone try that stack? if so let me know how it went and the results. thanks

When Jack Bauer gets in the tub he doesn't get wet, the water gets Jack Bauer.

My husband doesn't wish he was Jack Bauer. He wishes I was Jack Bauer

BSN stack is the "louis Vuitton" of stacks. My point is that there are just as good if not better for less $$$

But do they have the famous LV? Huh, huh, do they???

I dont know man, I was just trying to make a comparison.

i never had trouble drinking both whey and creatine after my workouts. dont see why you would either unless your body has a strange problem w/ the combination

It is physiologically IMPOSSIBLE to gain 20 lbs of muscle in 4 weeks! Nice try. YOu may have gained 20 pounds in 4 weeks, but not 20 pounds of muscle.

i believe one pound of lbm in a week is near impossible unless you are a new lifter or taking something hormonal (aas / ph etc.). this is what i read from the acsm i believe. so yeah it was probably some water weight + fat + muscle = 20 lbs.
