  |  Creatine Help... Hello, although I am new to the forums I have spent quite some time just reading through both new and old posts, so hopefully the advise I am looking hasn't been covered too many times before! Currently this is my training schedule... Monday: Back and Quads Tuesday: Shoulders and Triceps Wednesday: Off Thursday: Hamstrings, calves, traps and forearms Friday: Chest and Biceps Sat/Sun: Off And my eating should be this (I am trying very hard to get into a routine and its working slowly but surely) Breakfast: Cereal and Orange juice (would be scrambled eggs if I had the time) Mid Morning: Protein Shake (LA Whey @ 48g per serving) Lunch: Always potatoes with either meat, chicken and a tin of tuna Afternoon: Protein Shake Pre Workout: Pasta with either Chicken or Tuna/Salmon Post Workout: Protein Shake Supper: Scrambled eggs It was recommended to me to take in at least the equivilent amount of protein to bodyweight in pounds... so far I am either maintaining that or exceeding it. I have only been training for about 3 months and for the last two have been taking the protein shake. I am now keen on adding some creatine to my schedule, though could do with a little help with regards to which one to take, and welcome any comments/pointers on my training/diet thus far. I am training with a guy who has been into bodybuilding serious for about 4 years, and he has been natural up until now. Although he hasn't started a cycle yet he is determined to and naturally I have contemplated it also but 50% of me is chicken with regards to the side effects etc and the other 50% knows that I haven't been serious into this sport long enough to justify taking anything more than protein and creatine. So regardless as to whether he does go ahead with a cycle I am determined to continue how I am and try to get my diet 100% and train hard, then in a couple of years time if I am still training hard and want more I can cross that bridge... But for now all I need help with is choosing a suitable creatine. My goals are to build muscle, to an athletic shape. At the moment I have no aspiration to look like Ronnie Coleman, yet I don't want to remain looking like the guy from the Mr Muscle adverts! hehe!! I am 25, 6"2 tall and weigh approx 165lbs... Thanks! |

because they are too big of muscle groups to be training together, better is what ive suggested above, as when you do deadlifts the hamstrings, back and traps are being worked, so it makes sense to put them in one day, instead of back and quads. some good sources of carbohydrate : brown rice, pasta(whole durumwheat), sweet spuds, oatmeal etc. sources of fat : olive oil, flax seed oil, almonds, fish oils etc. as for the creatine, i beleive a good recommendation would be BSN's CELLMASS. | |
