    Creatine 5g per day. And extra 5g on workout days is okay.
    L-Glutamine, as much as you want, because most of it gets destroyed in the stomach unless you get it in pill form that's designed to make it past the stomach.
    Whey, like LM said, just make sure you take it about half an hour after your workout and then about three hours after that.

    I would advise against taking "as much as you want." If you do that you will bound to be wasting a good bit. Shoot for around 10g's a day. I go 5g p.w. and another 5g before bedtime.

    I take 40 g whey 2 x a day (once pwo and once in morning). I take 5 g L-glut in the morning and 5-g pwo. Then, when i start on creatine again soon, i will take cell tech pwo (7.5 g creatine and 56 g dextrose)

    More beneficial to switch your glutamine in the morning to right before bedtime as it slows your body from using muscle for energy when it hits the catabolic state.

    Think i'm gonna switch that up. Also, do you think i should take L-glutamine separate from my postworkout shake (like 20 mins before) because my pwo shake contains whey? I've even heard that taking L-glut before a workout is good....
