Couple of questions about Creatine - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Keyser Soze · 14-06-2006, 01:40 PM

1) I'm cutting, and will likely continue for a few months - am I wasting my money starting it before bulking?

2) If not, what are the best buys?

Thanks in advance,

KS

I've never used creatine whilst cutting before but I don't see why not, apart from maybe the added water retention (I never noticed any) Have you tried CEE (creatine ethyl ester) in tablet form, as it tastes rank as a powder... most say this is the better option over mono...

Creatine just helps you have a more intense workout and volumizes the cells.
It does not put any excess flab weight on your body. Maybe a couple of pounds from the volumization of the cells but that won't affect your cutting in the long run.

If you are a red meat eater, the affects may not be as noticable as in a vegetarian or fish eater, but nevertheless taking Creatine will help recovery and allow your muscles not to fatique as quickly during your work-out.

Take it before and after a work-out.

Here's a good general article on Creatine

Keep your Vitamin E levels up too for added benefit.

Vitamin E and muscle fatique

A nutritionist before her time told me to take Vitamin E for muscle healing and endurance. Seems the science of biochemistry is proving her correct.

V12 is my favorite but also the most expensive.

I used ProE2 when dieting for my last show and it kept me full all the way up to the show.

CNP - It's just CEE in capsules.

Cell-Tech is good Creatine for losing fat and gaining lean mass is it not? I got shredded on it a couple of years ago, but it is expensive stuff
