Ok I have whey protein already and glutamine. I am goign to stack those with fish oil, multi vitamin, flax seed oil, BCAA, and creatine.

First question:

1)when looking got creatine and BCAA if you pay more is it better? Or are you paying for the name? Should I buy the best deal?

2)I am looking at a 500 gram tub of creatine powder. serving size is 5g of creatine, I am 23 how many grams of creatine should I have daily while lifting?

3)This also goes with BCAA powder. Follow the directions or should I take more/less??


I found a good cheap online dealer for this. what do ya'l think of this site prices and products??
AH it won't let me... it's called A1 suppletments.com and the product is called ABB Crea-Force, 500 Grams

Glutamine is not scientifically substantiated. Most of it is used in the gi tract. Simply, don't buy it.

Creatine: no the most expensive is not the best. (that goes for all supplements.

Follow the directions on the bottle/container.

Looks like you read my primer

[chrispghmuscle]

Creatine mono hydrate, take the recommended dosage.

[Freak]

Nice spot Chris thanks for clarifying. Yes creatine monohydrate!

[chrispghmuscle]

Got your back bro

[TheNaturalOne]

so if each tablespoon is 5g just take the dosage got it. Freak do you take more? How much do you guys usally take of creatine?

What about ZMA? Not worth it?

[Freak]

No I don't take more. Never tried ZMA. Have heard good things about it but I'm not spending my money on it.

[TheNaturalOne]

freak your normal dosage of creatine daily is?

[Freak]

A serving is one rounded tsp (teaspoon)!

[TheNaturalOne]

I will take a pre and post creatine dosage. thanks for the info...

[youngage]

... lol he says 5 grams and you do 10 lol

[Freak]

Oh jeez... YOUNG AGE

5 + 5 = 10

1 serving before work out and 1 serving after

1 serving = 1 tsp

1+ 1 = 2

[Beefcake]

Youngage man, Freak already told you EXACTLY what needed to be done. Why are you making this so difficult?

[TheNaturalOne]

lmao, anyways.... thanks for the info, got a shipment in the mail with goodiess

[DaniCali]

for me when first time i jumped in to bodybuilding. a lot of my friends recomended Purple-K or Kre-Alkalyne they are pure monohydrate creatine. i know they are in tablet forms which powder is better and i tried my 1st tub i like the result so i sugest to give it a try its really up to you, hope this will help.

thanks
Dani.

[TheNaturalOne]

[Freak]

[phatkid77]

[phatkid77]

i jsut drudged up this.. i read it on anabolicminds... HRT sections....some people go crazy on blood work and the guy said flax messed him up....in a mix its ok, but str8 is bad....who knows

|| DukeMedNews || New Pilot Study Suggests Flaxseed And Low-Fat Diet Can Be Protective Against Prostate Cancer

"At the end of the study, the researchers observed that the men on the diet had significant decreases in cholesterol, and both total and free testosterone. While there was a decrease in testosterone levels, they noted that none of the participants in the study suffered decreased libido or sexual dysfunction. There was a trend toward a decrease in PSA levels in men with early-stage prostate cancer (Gleason sums of six or less), but in men with advanced prostate cancer (Gleason sums of more than six) PSA levels continued to rise. "

[Freak]

Is it because it was all unsaturated fat? We know we need sat. fat for test. production. That might be it.

[phatkid77]

all i know is this.. i restricted fats, for no good reason really

when i started on HRT, my test levels were 18.1ng after 6 wks of treatment....then 5 wks later (anabolic diet.. 220g fat day!!) my levels dropped to 14ng... and my SHBG went up 5pts, which restricts free test levels..

but my body is an anomoly.....lol

results may vary

Oh ok, how ofton do you get blood work done? Should I get blood work done after I take a few suppletments?

I got my BCAA and creatine. I am excited for the results!

[JakeVendetta]

I agree with phatkid i've heard this as well about flax seed oil, i think its similar as with soy protein Phytonutrients that carry phytoestrogens. Thats why i always reccomend taking fish oil.

[TheNaturalOne]

Hey guys got a question about my BCAA I bought. On the bottle it say's per serveing it only has 5g of bcaa, and 10g of free forming amino acids. Does this sound like enough bcaa?

[TheNaturalOne]

guys the bcaa I am talking about is called Vassive-EA8..

here is a link from another forum Seems like this may be good??
