Question abt creatine whey

bluebird007 Posts: 5 Joined: 2005/01/09	2005/05/17, 12:30 PM Hey guys Am a newbie in bodybuilding, so i need some help for the usage of creatine and whey protein. I want to know, is it gud to use both creatine monohydrate & whey protein concentrate together everyday. Plz show me the dosage for using both of them together. Thanx

Following that do a maintenance phase of about 8 weeks taking 5 g of creatine. If you want, after this phase, you can reload, or just continue taking your maintenance if you feel you are still increasing. I personally take my creatine right after a workout rather than before. I think its more beneficial that way, to get the creatine into the freshly worked muscles. Remember to mix it with a simple sugar to increase absorption. Aim for 30 - 35 g of that sugar per serving of creatine, as it will increase absorption of the creatine into the muscles. The best mix is 50/50 maltodextrin to dextrose (you can pick it up cheap at a local nutrition store), but it can also be mixed with an unsweetened juice or gatorade. hope this helps..
