when to take glut and creatine?

i bought some glutamine powder and some creatine monohydrate yesterday. i also bought these ripped fuel pills from twinlab (a fat burning pill that has caffine in it so workouts burn more fat and give you more energy).

i don't know at what times i should take all of them however. some people say before a work out, some say after, some say right when i wake up.

so at what time(s) should i take them and why?

after you work out is best for creatine and glutamine

I take both an hour before a workout and then after a workout. On non training days I take them in the morning and before bed. I just think that before a workout adds a little extra for the body to draw upon and then obviouslyt after a workout when the body needs all it can get after an intense session! Just my opinion!

Creatine: morning, post-workout.

Glutamine: morning, pre-workout, post-workout, before sleep.

^what if you're like me and not cycling creatine...should I still take it in the morning for non training days?? I've been using creatine mono for about 10 weeks taking it just pre and post workout...
