Creatine & Juce together?

[D1N1SKA]

Hey all,

Just wanted to find out if it’s a good idea for me to take some creatine during my cycle. Or should I take some after? Or not take it at all? And if I should take it what is the ideal dosage?

Here are the stats:

24 years old/6’1/200lbs/working out over 5 years with some breaks/my FIRST CYCLE.

1 wk – Deca 200mg
2 wk – Deca 300mg
3-12 wk – Deca 400mg
10-14 wk – Winstrol 50 mg ED

Clomid therapy 3 days after last shot of winstrol.

Here are the supplements that im taking right now. If anyone thinks that I should add/discontinue something on the list below please let me know. As always any help is greatly appreciated.

Myoplex – 2 times a day
Amino Acids (anabolic Amino 10,000 by healthy’n fit) – 3 times a day
Glutamine – 1 time before bed (4.5 – 5 g.)
FlexAnew (glucosamine and chondroitin) – 2 times a day

Just recently learned that if im taking Glutamine I don’t need to take Amino Acids. Instead I should be taking BCAA (branch chain amino acids). Is that true? Also, I guess in the evening I need to take slow acting protein. What is a good slow acting protein out there?

Peace

Dude, you need to get your basics down and locked, before you start any gear.

Dude I'll help ya bro...some people on here just don't want to help but I'll give you what I know. First of all you can't run Deca alone. You should run some type of Test with it. Winny is good but I would do it towards the end of your cycle.Creatine...sure why not you can take it while your on the gear. First cycle I would do 500mg Test Cypionate,400mg Deca,and D-bol 30mg ED. I would run this for 12 weeks also. I would look into steroids more if I were you but just give you and ideal cycle you got it. Also there are plenty of novice cycles on the website. Check them out also.

well, some of our opinions may differ on what constitutes basics, but i don't think this means he isn't ready. first, tapering the deca is a waste. start with 400 and stay there for the rest of the cycle. the winny looks in check now.

as far as creatine during cycle, i like to only take the AS during cycle aside from protein so i can see gains from the juice and not anything else. i start creatine a few days out of my last shot so i can help retain strength gains while my body adjusts to not having any more gear fueling it.

first, imo glutamine doesn't do shit.

second, a slow acting protein will help provide fuel to your body while you sleep and help absorption level off more instead of spike. it really isn't necessary though imo because i have used regular whey shake before bed and it does the trick quite nicely.

I know I should have never tapered deca, but I didn’t know better and I thought that 12 weeks of 400mgs is a bit too much for the first time. I guess I was wrong. Anyways cant change that because I just past my second week.

Its too late to do test now, but ill do it for my second cycle. Hopefully some of you bros will help me plan the next one better. In regards to creatine, I guess you are right, daem, it makes more sense to do it after the cycle.

Thank you for your input guys.

Later

I would not use creatine during a cycle. There is no published evidence that running it while on has any benefits.

I agree with daem, you should start creatine as he has already stated.

On the supps, I would throw in a multi vitamin as well.

I've searched and have found no documents that suggest creatine has a negative or (more) positive effect while on a cycle.

I've been using Creatine during my cycle. But I'm gonna take a break from the Creatine for a couple of weeks then start it again after my cycle ends. This will hopefully offset the loss of strength after ending my cycle (much like daem's practice).

I've read that some like to take a break from creatine every once in a while and that taking a break increases it's effectiveness. I have my doubts about such a claim.
