Creatine

Creatine Monohydrate or creatine ethl ester? I mean whats the difference between supplements companies? if MHP have 100% pure creatine monohydrate and Sci mix have 100% pure creatine monohydrate but more expensive, there's no difference, it's all the same isn't it? Stuff like BSN Cellmass are only so expensive because are transporters aren't they? you could pretty get the same effect by using why protein mixed with dextrose powder and creatine?

CEE has been shown to be inferior. Avoid it.

Creatine Mono definitely. Years of research backs it up and %90 of the people here will tell you mono is the way to go.

Yeah that's what I thinking, I tried Ultimate Nutrion creatine monohydrate in 2006, worked well, but I never tried this CEE just heard stuff about, probably just all over pirced hype lol

I've only been back to training a couple of weeks (Been out of training for a year coz of leg problems) I really want to start taking some supplements now such as creatine and nitric oxide but Layne Norton says I should wait until I platau before using them, what do you's think?

Does it matter which company you buy creatine mono from? they're all the same right?

For the most part, yes. They all should have the same amount of CM. Just don't go to wal-mart and buy some. Get a good sized portion for like 20 bucks offline. Optimum nutrition has some good ones.

Make sure you don't get capsules either, they suck.

I'm getting curious about C-Bol. Read up some good reviews on it. Take a look at it OP

Take a look at Kre-Alkalyn by AAEFX. Comes in capsules and powder. The high PH balance allows for better absorbtion .

I've always been a fan of the mono, my only complaint with it is the water hold

Brian15 · 10-25-2009, 07:18 AM

Should I take Creatine mono right now, or wait and keep training without supps for a bit?

If you are going to be consistently working out I'd start taking it now. Its a simple supplement. Just drink 72+ oz of water a day with it.

Yeah, I'm gonna be consistent with it/already drink a gallon per day

Then start loading for 4-5 days, dont be alarmed that you gain a few lbs in water weight.You will probably experience a little bloating as most people do but you will also see your strength increase a bit.

Yeah, alot of the water gets stored in the muscle along with glycogen too doesn't it?
