What Should I Use?

Mac242 Posts: 7 Joined: 2001/02/14	2001/02/28, 11:11 AM I'm about to start taking Creatine next week. I'm already taking amino acid supplements and glutamine. Is their any other supplements I should add to this combination that will help me see results?

Read the label on the creatine package, but it's usually 25-30 grams per day.. 5 grams servings. You should always take your creatine following your workout along with glutamine. 5 grams mixed in a shake or with water. The aminos can still be taken with your meals. Which creatine brand did you get by the way? .o0 Arnold 0o.

Begginers shouldn't even use supplement beyond vit/min and maybe a protien pow if you don't get enough in diet. They'll get great gains just because they are new at it. But still it's kinda fun exprimenting with supps. Kinda like playing the lotto.
