A close friend of mine, has been recommending german creatine to me for a few weeks now.
In all of my years of training, believe it or not, i have never tried pure creatine. Would it be beneficial towards PFS and the protocol? Id like to get peoples opinions, before i try it.
I would use the one cd uses (I linked it on the supplements thread)
curious as to whether this should be used on cycle. (I'd assume no?) holding off cuz I already got facial bloating which I hate lol. though it claims it doesnt cause bloat.. I don't fully believe that though but might experiment later.
the ConCret, 72 Capsules, Micro-Dosing Creatine right?
The yellow and black bottle. that one right ?
Yes. Best creatine I've ever used. No loading phase and NO BLOATING. That's why I couldn't use regular creatine. It made me hold water something fierce. The Concrete works and it works good. Muscle fullness, strength increases and no down sides. You'll notice it for sure. Take it 45 minutes or so prework out.Quote:

For years... back in the day for me, it really was just all about eating protein powder and going to the gym.
I cant believe i never experimented with creatine and all these other things! Im quite excited!
I also drink coffee before my workouts too. Can i still drink the coffee and both the creatine pre-workout?Quote:

LOLLLL!!!!!!
That was great!!! =)
And will do! I'll do both. I love coffee/caffeine already, and ill probably end up loving the creatine too. I just ordered it.
Could this be used more than one time per day?
For example. lets say on a friday morning... i choose to do HIIT sprints. and then later in the day, i head to the gym for biceps, or something like that. Could i take two capsules prior to the sprint workout, and then later on in the day take two more capsules prior to the biceps workout? so 4 capsules total.. would that be overkill?
Just take it prior to lifting. You want to take the full dose all at once for best results. It's best utilized for weight training.Quote:

Wouldn't it be useful on non workout days too to speed up recovery? had a scoop today cuz i'm still sore from squats 2 days ago..
The directions on the caps are four caps pre-workout and two caps on non workout days so the answer is yes.Quote:

It's the same thing. I prefer the capsules because it's easier to doseQuote:

yeah I got the powder cuz that's what they had at my local supplement shop and I couldn't wait for the caps to come in the mail XD.
Well, now youll have both the powder and the capsules so even better. When your powder runs out, you can just goto the capsules, and that way you wont have to restock on the stuff for awhile.Quote:

Im curious to how much gains an experienced "natural" lifter whose reached his genetic limits can get on this stuff. obviously, there is no such thing as natural when you have pfs. with pfs, youre below natural as ive always said before. fuck pfs lol. only one way to find out. its obviously not a prohormone or a steroid, so i know the numbers wouldnt be super high.
for months now, ill do incline bench press with 225lbs, and i always get 3 reps!! at least 15 times. a week in a half ago, i had a super high energy day, and i got 225x4 on incline. since then, i keep getting 225x3 again. maybe the creatine can get me to 225x7 or more on the incline. something like that.
what's the difference between this stuff and nromal creatine. i know the claims but we're also taking like 1/10th of a regular dose lol
is just marketing or is it legit better?
if I took 1 gram of normal creatine i probably wouldn't have bloat either cuz it's such a small portion lol.
I did some research earlier today. This creatine that we are using is hydrochloride. The other type of creatine is monohydrate. From the research i did, the monohydrate his shitty absorption, more likely to cause bloating, diahrrea, etc. The hydrochloride much less. Just like CD said pretty much. Im sure monohydrate has its purposes, but yeah, i get the hint that its better to stick with the creatine hydrochloride that were using. Like i said before though, as experienced with lifting as i am, i never tried creatine until now.Quote:
