    According to your profile stats (unless they are outdated) not sure if you are ready for steroids yet. Confirm your current stats if you don't mind.

    At 11.5 stones & 5'10 I personally think you can add a little more weight naturally. In addition, try spending a couple more years in the gym and pay attention to your diet and training methods. Guaranteed you'll reach your goals without the drugs for now.

    Either way bro, 2 years in the gym just isn't enough time to be jumping on any PH or injectable AAS. This is the main reason why I suggest you spend more time in the gym to allow more quality growth and experience under your belt.

    Steroid IMO should only be utilized with individuals who have had a considerable amount of experience behind their belt. This will give them time to utilize different nutritional programs and training methods they could very well bring you closer to your goals that you thought, that's all.

    Furthermore, bloat can be remedied on virtually any anabolic out there. So don't be afraid of running Test and turning into a balloon. Use proper medication and diet to lessen this particular side effect.

    definitely focus nutrition, proper training and rest. supplements are all just a scam in my honest opinion.

    Get a good milk protein supplement (whey/casein), or just a whey isolate.

    BCAA's and Leucine is also good.

    Creatine Monohydrate, Beta-Alanine.

    "Cyclone" is nothing but overpriced garbage full of sweeteners and additives by Maximulsce.

    www. bulk powders .co. uk is where I get my supps. in the UK.

    You think the most studied single compound in sports science and sports nutrition is "over priced garbage"?

    Please tell me you didnt mean to say that...

    I'm ok with that....BCAAS I live and die by, but Monohydrate was the devil for me. It's the sole reason I had to stop taking Jack3d (which I think is the best product on the market) - bloated me to the point of no return. I am fine with every other form of creatine, but the mono was just bad news for me. I also have read studies that it has a 10% absorption rate compared to Kre-Alkalyn.

    If it works for you, by all means -

    Ethyl Ester is garbage, but there are other forms of creatine available, yes.

    Creatine absorption rate is good alone and better with carbs mate. Its no where near "10%", though. Never seen any data like that.

    Post away if you have the references.

    I've read on more than one occasion that it's absorption rate is 'around' 10%, mate.

    I'm fine with saying it's 'poor', which is obvious by the side effect many experience.

    There are better choices than mono. End.

    I'll look around when I get some free time to waste.

    I'd like to see them.

    Poor or not, the stuff works and has more backing than ANYTHING out there in the way of supplements effectiveness (peer-reviewed data).

    CM will undergo absorbtion, transportation and metabolism without CHO, but in groups given CM with 93g CHO the CM uptake was 60% better. To put it simply.


    Am J Physiol. 1996 Nov;271(5 Pt 1):E821-6.

    Carbohydrate ingestion augments skeletal muscle creatine accumulation during creatine supplementation in humans.

    Green AL, Hultman E, Macdonald IA, Sewell DA, Greenhaff PL.

    Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, University Medical School, Queen's Medical Center, Nottingham, United Kingdom.

    Abstract

    This study investigated the effect of carbohydrate (CHO) ingestion on skeletal muscle creatine (Cr) accumulation during Cr supplementation in humans. Muscle biopsy, urine, and plasma samples were obtained from 24 males before and after ingesting 5 g Cr in solution (group A) or 5 g Cr followed, 30 min later, by 93 g simple CHO in solution (group B) four times each day for 5 days. Supplementation resulted in an increase in muscle phosphocreatine (PCr), Cr, and total creatine (TCr; sum of PCr and Cr) concentration in groups A and B, but the increase in TCr in group B was 60% greater than in group A (P < 0.01). There was also a corresponding decrease in urinary Cr excretion in group B (P < 0.001). Creatine supplementation had no effect on serum insulin concentration, but Cr and CHO ingestion dramatically elevated insulin concentration (P < 0.001). These findings demonstrate that CHO ingestion substantially augments muscle Cr accumulation during Cr feeding in humans, which appears to be insulin mediated.

    so if 93g of CHO 30 minutes after 5g of CR is showing 60% apsorbtion,how would one transfer that into a BB daily routine?
    Or is 4 times a day ideal.. 20g CR to 372g CHO-daily intake.

    I take 5g in the AM, then 5g PWO. I add carbs raning from dextrose to oats. It depends on my goals. But the general rule is to consume CM WITH carbs.

    On non-WO days, 5g in the AM.

    Dont over analyse.
