Hey /fit/,I went to my local Vitamin Shoppe today and got their generic brand "100% Creatine Monohydrate".The back label says to mix 1 rounded teaspoon, only 5grams, with water. My question is whether the 1 will be enough.Should I just stick with 1, or add more?Also, should I consume this PRE or POST workout?My goal is to bulk up in the next two months.Another thing, there was this deal so I decided to get a small container of L-glutamine powder. I hear good things about it that it helps with recovery and minimizes any muscle loss at night, such as during sleeping.Any specific info on how and when to take this?
Every morning.
fuck off with all the supplement shit dude.same fucking person.>>324715>>324745>>324730
glutamine doesnt improve athletic performance. its been debunked in countless studies. If you decide not to believe me and take it anyways, just make sure you dont take it with your creatine as it will compete for absorption (so will caffeine).take 2.5g creatine pre workout with simple sugars and 5g postworkout with simple sugars
>>324752hmm. Alrite thats good to know. Thanks for the input.>>324750Looking at the other threads I can see how you think Im all three, but I just got here so chill out.
>muscle loss at nightwut
On a related note, I got a tub of the "Body Fortress" Whey protein mix, but whenever I take it I end up pissing out of my ass or feeling like shit for the next 4-8 hours. Am I just allergic to whey protein or what? PLZ HALP.
>>324817quite possibly contains a lot of additives or something, I've seen that shit at walmart (i work there) but havent really looked at itpretty low possibility you're allergic to whey, its basically powder milk
>>324817Body Fortress = Wal-MartYou best be trollin' missy...
>>324745yea personally i do a teaspoon and a half or so usually you can do 10grams for the first couple of days to build it in your system and then just do the 7 or so from there on out....grapejuice+creatine 30minutes before you drink your pre-workout whey is supposed to be the best way....but sometimes i'm lazy and just throw it in my postworkout with some chocolate syrup I'm not going to lie to you :)Well yea possibly you are lactose intolerant. There are other kinds of whey that don't have lactose in them but they are more expensive. If you are non-white your chances of being lactose intolerant go up sharply. Read the labels whey is actually a commodity there are different kinds of it WP20(cheapest) WP80(concentrate) WP100(isolate) that one is all WP20 and WP80 but probably mostly WP20 to keep cost low. I get ON supposedly it is all WP100 WP80(their order on the label shows which I dunno i probably should just buy pure isolate its not that much more but ON fucking actually tastes amazing......
