    PCT and Creatine

    Hey,

    How much creatine can I add in with my clomid/clen /nolva pct?

    Is 2g ed enough, or will I have to start off with a loading phase (20g for 4 days).

    What's your opinion of laoding phases? I've read that it's essential and that it's useless.

    T.

    ditch the loading phase(waste of money) and take 5g before you workout, then 5g RIGHT after you workout with dextrose.

    It causes an insulin spike and thats what you want. Its cheap , just mix it with your creatine and youll be good to go.

    I usually take my creatine immediately after my workouts and 20 minutes later I have about 80 grams of dex with my PWO shake......my .02 cents

    Conflicting opinions!

    Why do I want this insulin spike? Won't that just make me sluggish afterwards?

    no you are restoring glycogen in your muscles. you do not need 80grams for an insulin spike though. You need to have a post work out shake.
    the shake should be a 2:1 ratio of dextrose to protein with your 5 grams of creatine in the shake. Should only be mixed with water, no milk or anything..

    example: before i started the insulin use, my shake consisted of 50grams of protein (isolate) with 100grams of dextrose, and 8 grams of creatine!

    ok i also said before i was shooting the slin. What exact calculations do you base that 80 gram figure on? That figure will change with every single person depending on height, weight, LBM, intensity of the workout, etc. That is a figure the person must come up with on their own to figure out what they need for proper recovery! 80 grams is a general number to be used because most whey contains about 20-22 grams of protein per scoop, so using 2 scoops combined with 80g of dex would put you in the 2:1 dextrose to protein ratio I was referring to above.
    Like i said, BEFORE my insulin use, i used 100grams of dex with 50 grams of protein and 8 grams creatine, as that is what i found to work well for me!

    Now with slin i use 70grams dex with 10 grams creatine, 10 grams of glutamine then 80 grams of protein

    To minimise loss. Granted, it's water I'm holding onto. But still...

    Creatine just gives you that extra boost and makes your muscles look fuller when you get off juice....Just another motivational supplement.......

    No creatine is not a motivational supplement, it has physical effects!
    I use it consistently, the only time i cut out the creatine is when i get to the last 4 weeks of cutting, then i'll superload for a week, and cut using it entirely!

    I'm not saying its wrong, but i'm just wondering. What is the purpose of the 5grams pre-workout?

    I never said it doesn't have its physical effects but psychologically since your mind is altered on PCT and majority falls under depression.....Creatine gives you a motivational boost as far as pumps, strength, endurance and gains are concerned..........
