Creatine.

[Charlie G]

Hey guys I just wanted some advice on creatine.
Is it worth getting the stuff?
If so how regularaly should it be taken and with how much water etc??
Thanks a lot, Charlie.

Search the Supplements and formula's forum for loads of 'creatine' info..

Wow my bad, this thread seems kinda pointless now!

[Charlie G]

one more thing though just to clarify, it is completely fine to take creatine with a whey protein shake + water yeah? If I were to just add 5g of creatine to 30g of impact whey protein then mix with water would this be fine?
Thanks

[Tox]

ye no probs with that..thats how I take it of I do.

[Charlie G]

oh my goodness tox unbelievably I have one more question.. With my protein shake i have about 350ml of water. If I am adding 5g of creatine should I up it to 500ml as I hear you should have 100ml per 1g of creatine you have??
Thanks, mate

i don't find creatine to make me bigger, but to push out those last few reps on exercises, which is kinda good!

but personally, get your diet in good nick, and then when you reach plateau's etc. then add in supps like creatine

and it perfectly fine to add to water+whey
(and depending on your weight, i wouldn't have 5g unless you are 85kg or more!) i would have like 2-3g, otherwise its a waste

[Charlie G]

Alright cheers.
Well should I drink 100ml of water per 1g of creatine yeah?

[suj]

yeah mate, sounds about right, and have alot of water through the day (i already have alot of water, so if your like me, you've got nothing to worry about mate)

Sounds like a good idea... can't hurt :P Make sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day too I like to keep a litre bottle of water with me whatever I'm doing, and take sips from it throughout the day.
