i am a 19 yr old male and i took creatine before which gave me great results.. the only problem was that it wasn't lean muscle, i gained a bit of fat too.. do you think hydroxycut is a good mix with creatine to gain lean muscle?

Oh no I don't think it's that good of an idea to take creatine with a fat burner. Why? Because of the hydrating-dehydrating balance.

Any scientists out there for a better explanation?

What you need to worry about is the caffeine. Caffeine is a diuretic (depletes your body of water) and creatine, an amino, hyperhydrates your muscles. You do the math. They have counteracting effects. Creatine is a bulking supplement, hydroxycut is for cutting. Pick one and go in that direction. You're trying to do too much at once.

If what you guys are saying is true, that mixxing bulking and cutting supplements is bad, then why do the people on animalpak say take Animal-Stak and Animal Cuts to get really lean muscle and lose fat?

At the very least, don't take creatine and caffine together. Their chemical structures are very similar, and due to this, caffine can quite possibly attach itself to the receptor that creatine uses, and thus block the creatine. Take them a few hours apart if you are going to do both.:)

i use the caffiene free hydroxycut and it does well so far.....the mainpart is that the hydroxy has an appetite suppresent in it and they tell you to take it 30-60 minutes before eating.....it has worked well......ive lost 9lbs in 4 weeks, but can see signs of muscle mass building in my chest and arms......it just takes longer to see results this way i believe

Fireb17, if yours does not contain caffine, there is no issue.
