What do you guys think about Creatine. The latest research shows that not only is it not dangerous but in fact it is healthy. It has powerful antioxidant properties and improves athletic performance in the gym to boot. I take it and I am experiencing its great benefits.

people should take creatine with white grape juice because it goes straight to the muscles

DownwithIslam · « **Reply #4 on:** April 09, 2008, 01:20:56 AM »

Taking it with grape juice is not required if you use cell-tech hardcore like I do. It has plenty of sugar in it to drive it into the muscles. You only need to drink juice with it if you take pure creatine monohydrate.

I use these things before the gym, and you can get them at GNC. I don't bother using blenders and all that cause then it taste like crap. And I recommend all of the following if you are serious into muscle building but you must work out after you drink this its designed for muscle tissue build up.. And even ladies they got Myoplex lite.

Turbo Tea is good

I take nano vapor and cell tech hardcore from muscletech. I also eat lots of tuna and fish during the day along with some protein shakes. I eat lots of protein often.

You take all these supplements, MW. What order do you take them in?

MasterWolf1 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 09, 2008, 01:55:56 AM »

Not everyone of them but these are the ones I do recommend from these companies

ABB (american body builder)
Met-Rx
and EAS

MasterWolf1 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 09, 2008, 01:59:28 AM »

Also, don't bother with supplement pills I find those a bunch of bull.

Ari · « **Reply #12 on:** April 09, 2008, 02:04:31 AM »

Yeah, I always thought so too, though I have been tempted to try some of the fat burners.

MasterWolf1 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 09, 2008, 02:34:02 AM »

Best way to burn fat is to sweat it out

Jasmina · « **Reply #14 on:** April 09, 2008, 01:24:52 PM »

do cardio exercises! run, bicycle, treadmill! I'm totally against creatine! why? because it will increase your muscles, right, but NOT ONLY THE SKELETAL MUSCLES, HEART MUSCLE WILL INCREASE TOO!!! and believe me, that is NOT what you looking for! WHY? because your CORONARY ARTERIES (which suplies blood for the heart) will NOT increase in size proportionally with HEART MUSCLE, and that is one of the reason why you get CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE and LATER on, ACUTE MIOCARDIAL INFARCT, even STROKE, ATRIAL FIBLILATION and so on!
Normal girls don't like big muscles, that's for crazy men who doesn't have enough self confidence! That's my personal opinion!

MasterWolf1 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 09, 2008, 04:51:23 PM »

If you also plan to work with weights such as powerlifting IT IS A MUST you wear a weight belt so you don't throw your back out

DownwithIslam · « **Reply #16 on:** April 11, 2008, 12:51:41 AM »

I would highly recommend Gaspari Nutrition for all your pre workout and creatine needs. I really think they are the best. Muscletech is great as well. For protein I have tried nitro-tech, as well as some other whey proteins. I think you just need to go with one of the reputable brands and you should be fine.

MasterWolf1 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 11, 2008, 01:34:05 AM »

Muscletech is pretty good too DWI

I agree, I think both Muscletech and Gaspari are good.

I had gotten high protein oatmeal with blueberries at GNC over the winter. It wasn't bad at all. They come in these portable cups incase you are on the go in the morning.

Good point, Jasmina.
