creatine+Noxplode+whey!! how to take them

Kaiser · 03-15-2008, 01:13 PM

Hi, I've just purchased ON whey, NoXplode and GNC pro performance creatine monohydrate. I used to take only whey before training, but now I'm confused about the proper way to take them all.

ON Whey: Emphasize it post-workout as it's fast digesting. Think of it more of a nutritional supplement rather than a training aid. It can also be taken in the morning as well as pre-workout.

NO Explode: 30-45 minutes prior to training session.

Creatine: Although many members here on the forum aren't fans of this, I feel the loading stage is necessary for complete and faster saturation. Loading phase; 20-25g/day taken evenly throughout the day focusing around whether you take it pre, post workout or both. Maintenance stage; 5-10g/day taken either pre or post-workout or both. Experiment a little.

Something tells me you just dropped over 100 bucks on supplements. And dont really know how to use them...

Listen to KM, he explained it pretty well. Make sure you take the creatine on off days as well. I like to take it first thing in the morning if i remember on off days, usually with some gatorade mix or perhaps even some kinda juice. Some people even suggest taking it with whey protein in the morning as well. Both are good ideas imo. Id suggest lowering your amount on off days though, as i like to take 5-7.5 grams on off days.

You want to cycle off after about 8-10 weeks imo. And stay off for about 3-4 weeks. Then if you want, start up another cycle.

Well lets see... Km explained it well. But i m also on the exact same things right now and this is what i do.

1hour before work out- 2scoops ON whey+5g creatine
15mins before work out- 2scoops Noxplode
Right after wok out- 2scoops ON whey+5g creatine

I'd give the n.o xplode more time 30 mins at the least, it can make you feel kinda ill if you train too soon. Also it is worth mentioning that the n.o explode has 3 grams of creatine anyway , so you might as well not take extra pre-workout creatine.

Actually, it has 1 gram of creatine. Where do you get your facts? I got mine from BSN website itself.........

Thats per scoop and most people take 2 or 3 so........do the maths

Also he's clearly an inexperienced guy not knowing how to take all this stuff its's probably best he doesn't overdo it on the creatine. You should probably think a bit more before you come on here and start patronising people.

Not saying the same dose works for everyone, but generally speaking you should be taking the recommended dose. This is the purpose and reasoning behind cycling supplements. If you fail to do so, your receptors become tolerant and you spend more money.

Just a though.

Most people isnt relevant to a single serving having one gram of creatine.

And this guy is completely new. Telling him no-xplode has 3 grams of creatine without giving the context of most people taking 3 servings only misinforms him.

If you were taking a popular supplement, and someone said it had 3 grams of creatine, you would probably come to the conclusion that every SERVING has 3 grams.

Dont throw a hissy fit because i am trying to help the guy out.

3 scoops is a serving according to the bottle i have...
it says test tolerance but 3 scoops is recomended serving

<3Frosty · 03-17-2008, 11:18 PM

That's weird, because on my bottle is says Serving Size: 1 scoop.

Recommended Use To Assess Tolerance: Begin by using 1 scoop.

Recommended Use on Training Days: Once tolerance has been established, use 1-3 scoops.

So while it might be recommended (hey, at 3 scoops, that is 3 times faster you will use up the bottle), it isnt the standard serving size that they go off of for their nutrition facts.
