NO Shotgun -- off days Prolab Mono, or GreenMAG?

Trevor03 · 08-30-2009, 08:10 PM

First off, apologies for asking this question as I realize it's basically been asked multiple times already, sort of. But my question is slightly different.

I'm about to order a couple tubs of NO Shotgun, and after searching around the forums, it appears it contains roughly 5g of creatine. The general consensus seems to be that on workout days, it's NOT necessary to take any more creatine than the 5g that's already in Shotgun (if you have a differing opinion, please post it as I'm still a noob).

Since I won't be taking Shotgun on my off-days, I need to take creatine then. My question is which of the two (Prolab's Creatine Mono, or GreenMAG's Magnesium Creatine Chelate) would be the best to go with NO Shotgun?

Looking over the ingredient list in Shotgun, it appears to have both mono and chelate, so I'm not sure if it will matter if I take MAG or mono on my off days.

Any advice would be appreciated, cheers!

either would get the job done. do you do cardio on off days? or are they true off days?

if you only have one off day you will be fine just taking protein. sometimes its best to give your body a break from things.

I sometimes do cardio, sometimes not. But there are definitely numerous days that are simply off days, where I do no exercise of any kind.

nemesisman, I only workout 3-4 days a week, so I have 3-4 days of no weight-lifting each week, so just taking creatine on the weight days doesn't seem like enough.

i know a couple of ppl that took Shotgun without any other creatine product involved and had great strength gains. it's totally up to you, but i think you would be ok without adding another creatine product.
