creatine = counterproductive if dieting for lean

[Godson]

im dieting for lean muscle, i'd like to create a six pack and cut fat

but at the same time im taking cell-tech creatine .. i almost feel like it might be counter productive because creatine is about gaining weight and im trying to lose fat..

opinions?

[Deltasaurus]

creatine is about gaining muscle it helps you get thoes extra couple reps so u tear down the muscle more and in turn you build more. now u will retain water so its water weight. but thats not what u want during a cut. but u make the choice

[Godson]

its definitely a tough call, i want the best of both worlds .. but i definitely dont want to be counter productive.. i guess ill finish up these cell-tech cans and decide from there...

would you recommend cycling off cell-tech ?

Muscletech isn't a good brand, especially when it comes to creatine. If you're looking for a good creatine try a company like Kaizen.

If you want to get bigger, take creatine. If you want to look cut, get off of it and stick to a diet.

I can't say the creatine does anything for me, other than make me thirsty.

[Godson]

muscletech does seem like a huge rip off... not sure though..

[Garbanzo Dude]

No not counter productive.....it helps during cutting

If you're gaining weight it most likely muscle and muscle weighs more than fat

does muscle-tech creatine include lots of sugar (dextrose)???? If so, that could be counterproductive to your goal

yea it does like 68g of sugar lol, my friend was knocking it cause of that.. saying i purchased 80 dollars worth of sugar

use straight creatine or CEE, drop the sugar. and if anything it would help you retain lean tissue. then stop using it when ur done cutting to dry out. bingo!

have you guys done creatine ? i was wondering how cycling off should work with cell-tech

Huh. I don't really know if does anything.

I have been taking creatine for 4 years. Don't buy the ones with sugar. Just buy mono type. It is cheap. Drink it with oj if you like.

I would just skip it myself. It doesn't really do anything compared to what AS do.
