Creatine mixed with Protein shake OK? (did a search but no real answer)

**nWo** · 05-26-2002, 11:09 PM

I was wondering if it is OK to mix with my protein shake?

I have taken creatine in the past before working out and now I read to take after...so is it post or pre workout?

Thanks.

yeah you can mix it. Take it post, yeah theres reasons to do it preworkout for like energy and such, but IMHO it's better post workout.

Pre Workout= Strength Training, Endurance

Post Workout= Size

Take it before and after workout, Creatine is dirt cheap and then you won't take any chances with gains.

personally i say take the creatine once upon waking and once after a workout, wouldn't it be better to space out the times you take them? i'm not sure

unless you workout right after you wake up.. =)

Bump JB. I do the same.

Taking it once before and after workout usually means your sitting on the toilet in a couple hours. If you use it pre workout, its only for strength training only. You will not get bloated but won't get the growth benefits of creatine either. Twice a day including post workout is for size and is the way the majority of bb'ers will use it. It use it pre for cutting though to minimize strength losses.

bump that, using it pre right now for cutting also, keeps my strength and gives my ass energy..otherwise this lowcarb diet has me ****ed

LOL! Bump! I used to do that, then after lifting on my leg days i'd run to the toliet and start getting horrible leg cramps. It can get messy.

Not much. I rode for 5.8 miles today in 30mins flat. You're just as bad as me when it comes to lifting! Those things any good? Are you going to any picnics today?

**Jonblaze639** · 05-27-2002, 11:57 AM

just went and ate....i can't ride my bike anywhere..it's all jacked up...some drunk **** like kicked it and bent the tire and i found out who it was and i told my friend (who lives 3 doors down from him) to tell him next time he talked to him that i wanted $30 or i'd rip his head off...

then a few days later someone unscrewed my front tire and tried to roll my bike somewhere...lots of bikes get stolen here....actually more get stolen than not, we have a 52% stolen bike ratio here..lol =) Turns out whoever tried to steal my bike had left it since they couldn't wheel it to whereever they wanted to, so i never took that guys money.

**nWo** · 05-27-2002, 11:57 AM

So it is OK to mix with my protein shake and take it twice a day...after waking up and post-workout.

**Jonblaze639** · 05-27-2002, 12:00 PM

Do it that way buddy, and you'll be fine.

**Jonblaze639** · 05-27-2002, 12:04 PM

i have no idea what it is...its got all these shocks and **** and looks ****en badass, but i have no idea what it is.

Hey did it ever occur to anyone that even while we cut, most of us still get like 2500-3000 calories which is more than most people take total?

**97LT1** · 05-27-2002, 12:07 PM

Hummmmm. I never really thought about it . Good point JB.
