LukasMcNeal Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Been looking at creatine but theres like a million different options. Some directions are vague eg take twice a day, some say in the morning and after a workout and some say they need a loading phase. Can anyone reccomend a decent one with decent instructions?

Pashley26 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) MaxiMuscle Creatamax 300 is great. I've been using it for years. 5MG in the morning, 5MG at lunch and 5MG in the evening for the first 5 days as a loading phase, then after that just cut it down to 5MG morning and night as a maintenance dose and an additional 5MG half an hour before you train. Take it with 500ML of water. I have found my water intake to be much higher, I am drinking 4.5L of water a day at the moment. I could probably do with more. HUGE increase in explosive power, so for sprinting/mountain biking/road riding/trials etc it is perfect. I've found since my water intake has improved with the taking of creatine I have had a much better recovery period. Make sure to take an overnight drink or a protein shake after whatever exercise you are doing too, it really helps. I have been taking my pre training creatine with a "4 Goodness Shake", they are pretty awesome and are on 2 for £2 in Sainsburys at the moment.

LukasMcNeal Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 What about mass and size notice much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 What about mass and size notice much? A fair bit, it started off as water retention but the rest of the gains are natural. With creatine it is basically giving your body a boost of what it naturally does when using up creatine phosphate, allowing you to train as you currently do harder and longer. So it's a fairly natural progression but after you are through the loading phase you might not SEE a difference but you will certainly feel it if you are training in the gym. I found my muscles stayed pumped for longer, so when I was doing say 8 bench presses of 50KG I wasn't aching so much; it is a weird feeling to be honest but certainly a good one. This is a fairly realistic read I just found whilst checking my information was right - http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne13.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
