The most propper way to use creatine? Plzzz Help asap!

[imabomb]

ay wassup errybody! I'm about to start using creatine. Tomorrow is my chest and bi's day and it's gonna be my first day with creatine,
So now i'm really confused on using it!! i know for sure that i should take it after my workout, but i dont know how! it's so confusing cause i take a
whey protein shake post workout, so im not sure what to do, should i just mix it with the shake? what about spiking my insulin? should i eat like 2
banans? or should i mix the creatine with grape juice?

And also should i load on it the first day? how to?
and how much creatine should i intake a day?

And one more thing, i didn't get my creatine supplement yet, i'm getting it tomorrow, and im getting the Optimum Nutrition creapure creatine,
now is this a good choice? if not, what do you reccomend?

lots of threads on this. Also , you are 16 so I dont recommend you take it.

Since you probably wont listen and still buy it, I will give you the information so that you dont mess up. Your creapure is fine.

No loading. Take it at any time of the day with anything. It doesnt matter if its morning, evening, with juice, on a sammich, sprinkled on your pancakes, on your hand or on a stick.

Take 3-5g a day. No more

I would personally cycle ever few months and take 6+ weeks off. Others will tell you that you dont need to. Be smart about it and decide for yourself.

So tomorrow after my woorkout i can just mix it with my whey shake and just eat sth for my insulin, so like two banans with it will be fine?

you can take it with anything or without everything. If you so desire, you can take it with 2 bananas post workout. You can also take it pre workout or after you wake up etc.\

i wonder why i shouldn't load.

Because there is no need to. Sure it will saturate your muscles quicker, but after 30 days whether you load or just use 5 grams a day, your muscles will be equally saturated.

You can load. Weather you go 20gr for 5 days, 10gr for 10 days or 5 gr for 30 days they are all loading protocols. Since 5 gr is maintence for most body weights anyways its easier to just take that. You wont notice effects till around 30 days that way.

The generic 3-5 gr recommendation kind of bothers me because 3 gr will never saturate most bodyweights (girls maybe). Take 5 not 3......at least for the first 30 days.

Sounds pretty good, any recomendations on weather i should just mix it with my whey shake and eath 2 bananas or not?

taking it regardless of mixing will have it in your body. Carbohydrates may help with other reactions increasing its effectiveness.

your really stuck on those 2 bananas arent you? Creatine can be taken with anything, and quite honestly after a good workout i want more than two bananas. mix it in some fast carbs like grape juice or gatorade. it all works

[imabomb]

alright i think the best thing to do is just to mix it with my whey shake and eat sth with carbs and some sugar . thats it.

A simple carb is known to help absorbtion. So banannas work.
