rafterq Posts: 19 Joined: 2004/08/01	2004/08/05, 12:36 AM Hi Paul- Is that pre just a plain protein shake w/o the glutamine and creatine? Then the protein/glutamine/creatine combo for the post shake? ============ Quoting from davisp: Protein shake and brown rice here.

davisp Posts: 313 Joined: 2002/10/26	2004/08/31, 09:27 PM rafterq, Kind of a late response, but here goes. Actually, I now use quick oats mixed with protein in water. I have the creatine first thing when I wake up on an empty stomach. Currently I do not supplement extra glutamine.
