Well I dont work out much, been too lazy recently, but i do have a small gym in my house that i can use. My question is in regards to creatine serum. My doc told me several months ago that i should consider using it to boost energy and see if it worked. I never tried it but thought i'd give it a try now. He recommended it because i have MD and get tired sometimes, so mostly of energy not for working out, but i do, or did work out heheheh. So my question is, i just bought the serum that is sold at GNC, is their own brand, and it says this

"consume 1 serving of 4 droppers full 8ml first thin in the morning or immediately following workouts"

Now i thought that you are supose to take creatine serum a few mintutues before working out. I would have asked the girl their but she looked like she didnt know shit, and i also didnt realize what it said untill after i got home. I thought it was like the ATP performance serum that says take it before work outs. Anyone have any experience with this?

 

i would defintely do without creatine.

ask yourself why you are taking it, try obtaining your goal without it, and you will see that it is really unecessary.

 

Ain't nothin wrong with it.

I take mine in cycles though.. I dont like having it too long term.

 

I found personally, it doens't matter when I took it. As long as I exercised and drank GALLONS of water, it worked fine. It might be different for different people. I never took the serum, I took the tablets. I usually take it everyday for 2 months, then go off of it for 2 months, and so on.

Creatine only works if you drinks TONS of water(not liquids), and exercise daily(doesn't have to be a 3 hour workout, but a run or something).

Hope that helps a little. If you need some more info, lemme know. I was a personal trainer for 2 years.

I'm more a fan of the all-natural workout... by watching what your intake is & focusing your workout you can achieve trimming, cutting, and/or weight loss all at the same time. What you eat and what exercises you do has a huge impact... moreso (IMO) than what supplements you take.

At least, this is what has worked for me... I've dropped from a 36"+ waist down to a 31", and from 230lbs. to 180lbs., yet have added 3" around my arms & 4" around my chest from focused exercises and rotating my workout, along with eating a stable diet so my body knows exactly what it gets and what it needs.

 

yea...i eat alot of junk food...I actaully just came back from the doc, since when i did work out recently i would feel a shortness of breath and weezing kindof like asthma, so i went and tehy gave me an inhailder, said i ave some type of bromchirous something like a really mild case of asthma, so i use it before i work out.

As for the creatine, i guess i will try it out and let you know, i'm really lazy but i have a goal to lose some weight, its really hard for me to work out and gain muscle since i said i have muscular dystrophy, which is why i was lookin for a supplement or somethign to help out and give me energy. As for my diet, i eat alot of junkfood and the reason i am trying to work out again is because over the last yr or so i've gained about 20-25 lbs, might not seem like a lot, but i'm 5'2 and usually weighted 95-105. So yea but i'm still unsure on how to use it i guess.

My main question which i'm still uncertain is wether to use it before or after. I asked the doc and she said after, but she wasnt ware of the serum, so she's not a good source i guess, she said what creatine does is add protein, so it helps rebuld muscle on the days off...

 

http://www.abetterbody.com/get-fit/f...glutamine.html I use cell tech .. It to be used after your work out .. first week is the loading stage which you have to take the creatine 2 times a day.Then its one time after your work out BUT I have found out that its better to drink it while working out. I work out for 90 minutes and i drink the creatine 45 minutes into the work out.
