Confused....

m0nsta Posts: 6 Joined: 2001/11/10	2001/01/23, 02:54 PM I want to keep gaining mass, but lose the fat on my stomach. I have both hydroxycut and creatine, and don't know which to take. I have read that you shouldn't take them both at the same time. If I stick with the creatine will I keep gaining muscle mass that will help me burn the stomach fat? Or do you reccomend the hydroxycut?

Then right after your workout, have your creatine combined with 5 grams of glutamine to aid the transportation of the creatine into your receptors. 10-30 minutes later have complex carbs with protein, preferrably a meal replacement or whey protein shake. Be aware that the water retention that the creatine is know to give will be at a minimum. But you mentioned that you were interested in muscle gains not water gains so you'll be alright. Good Luck! .oO Arnold Oo.

bore Posts: 320 Joined: 2000/12/30	2001/01/23, 07:58 PM Its near impossible to gain mass and lose fat at the same time. Because in order to gain mass you have to eat more calories and to lose fat you have to burn more calories than you take in. But you can use hydroxy and creatine togrther. Just use the hydroxy as a booster for your workouts, and drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. Rob

The ECA stacks are great fo work intensity.Can't trim and bulk at same time.Drink lots of H2O due to water loss effect from all of these components.Use both but ECA stack just for workout intensity.INTENSITY BUILDS DENSITY!
