Still mostly bodybuilding Member 501, 10465 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250620.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq | Anyone used this before? I bought some because it was cheap and had decent reviews but the packet says to use 5g with water before training. 5g bearly covers the bottom of my shaker - is this right? | ||

Just seemed less than the bulkpowders creatine i used before but having said that it never had any guidelines so i was prob using too much. | ||

Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | IainKendrick said:How bigs your shaker? A heaped tablespoon will do the job. It's not essential to take creatine (it is not a pre-post type supp) around training but it's no bad thing. heaped teaspoon you mean. thats about 5grams. And yes, that's the correct amount. People used to load with 4 or 5 servings of 5g per day for a week, but it's not necessary. | ||

Member 535, 618 posts SQ 267.5, BP 140, DL 275682.5 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq | the best way to take it is put the powder in your mouth and then wash down with fruit juice or sports drink this is the most economic and effective way of taking it as it gets in the muscles faster with the sugar | ||

Much better is an approx 50/50 protein/carb ratio as this gives same effect but without 90 odd grams of sugar Personally there's no need to complicate things with creatine. It's highly biovalable in the first place and the body takes it up like a sponge! Off course it changes as your muscle creatine content increase and you have to transport into the cell against a larger concentration gradient. Bottom line is take you dose whenever and after a couple of weeks max you'll have greater muscle creatine stores. | ||

Why not just not get fat in the first place? Member 132, 1406 posts SQ 331, BP 200, DL 320851.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Just put a level teaspoon in your pre and post workout drinks IMO. Myprotein's Creapure is pretty good for mixing unlike normal monohydrate so you shouldn't really lose any. | ||

Ive just been using Bulkpowders Monohydrate and when i had drank it there were still bits in the bottom of my shaker. When i mixed and drank the Creapure before i trained tonight there was nothing left in the shaker. | ||
