"stack" creatine? lol. I hope your diet is in check, otherwise supplements don't work very good.
If you are a first timer, use plain creatine monohydrate. It's cheap and works well with most people.
Be sure to drink a lot.
Mix your creatine with WARM water, then drink your juice 30 minutes after that. AND don't drink apple juice!! apple juice has mainly fructose, which causes little to no insulin spike, depending on how much you drink. dextrose is fine.
Now, why would you drink your dextrose 30 minutes AFTER your creatine? Doesn't make sense?
Yes it does. Creatine takes a certain amount of time to be absorbed, dextrose is absorbed right away, starting in your mouth, while creatine will be absorbed by your intestines. So drinking it together will result in an immense insulin spike, (regarding the fact that most people use way too much dextrose, "too be on the safe side") which will come crashiing down after a few minutes.
Now the creatine arrives, but the insulin is long gone.
So, a timed consuption of carbs and creatine is better.
Eating a lot of cinnamon keeps insulin sensitivity high, so i would recommend in adding cinnamon to your diet instead of consuming more and more sugar to get the creatine to where it should be.

You could use it with SUPER PUMP 250 or NO-XPLOD

Thank you. I would add creatine (no particular type is much better than any other - do you really thing all these "marketing firms" are making their own versions and have equipment - nope). Take vitamins and anti-oxidants and herbs for health if science backs it up. Protein only if you don't get enough in your food...

man stop being a baby and hit the normals then step up to us

i remember someone asking lee priest how he achieves a pump at the gym and what supp's he took pre workout to achieve it

Supplement companies arent there to "make you bigger" they are there to make money for themselves. Any gains your gunna make from a supplement you could also gain from tweaking your diet.
Supplements are exactly that, supplements, if you have a proper diet what do you need to supplement?

best post i've EVER read.

Very true.
I honestly believe Getbig.com is HURTING this industry as more and more people read these boards. They learn the truth and people stop buying supps.
Still...creatine. There are 3 creatine products I would trust.

The basic rule of supplements for me is to get any substances in high doses that are difficult, if not flat-out impossible, to get from regular food.
Creatine would be a prime example. Yes, it comes from red meat. But, unless you own a slaughterhouse and plan on downing an entire cow, getting 20-30 grams of creatine from beef (during a loading phase) is rather ridiculous. Even a maintenance dose of 10 grams would require at least 10 lbs. of meat to get it from beef.
Whey protein is another example. It comes from milk, but only a fifth of milk protein is whey. I consume around 200 grams of whey protein each day. To get that from milk, I'd have to consume 1000 fl oz. of milk (THAT'S NEARLY EIGHT GALLONS OF MILK!!!).
-
yes i agree, protein is ok as long as your are not supplementing it for food.
You should do your best to reach your protein goal in food but if not possible a shake here and there wont hurt.

PLEASE!!!!!!!
Of all the people who buy and use supplements, a small, and I stress, SMALL fraction of them posts on internet boards (GetBig, in particular).
And, of those who do post here, few (if any) have stopped buying supplements because of you, or any other self-appointed member of the supplement police here.
Plus, shouldn't you be blubbering and wailing about Gaspari Nutrition and Nutrex "deceiving" those poor little newbies, using scantily-clad blonde models to sell their wares, etc., or does all that outrage apply only to Muscletech?

Only to MuscleTech...
Hahahahahaha! Good post but it falls short. MT gets no play here.
MT works hard to insult the vet and scam the newbie. We know markus Ruhl doenst use Vitargo to get "huge" and you can take all the gaspari products you want but you if you arent genetically pre-disposed to look like Rich you arent going to.
MT are whores...other companies are 'easy'. Hahahahahahahahaha!

Any so-called vet would know that MuscleTech is no different, when it comes to advertising, than any other supplement company out there. Either MuscleTech's products work or they don't. From my experience, they do. I'm fully aware that guys like Jay Culter and Darrem Charles were big long before they joined MuscleTech, just as Markus Ruhl (who once worked for MuscleTech) was huge before he joined either company.
That's pretty much the case with a number of supplement companies. But, your singing the praises of Nutrex and Gaspari Nutrition, while complaining about MuscleTech, for doing the same thing is rather silly.

So?
MT gets no respect...ever. We don't know them we dont WANT to know them...they are the enemy!

The enemy of what? MuscleTech is a supplement company, just like Nutrex, Gaspari Nutrition, MET-Rx, etc.
As long as MuscleTech's products are effective, the company gets plenty of respect (at least from me).

Well NOT from this cowboy...
MT is the enemy...we dont KNOW THEM nor do we want to know them.
The ONLY respect they get are from the kids who train chest on Monday nights.

We? What are you, Venom from the Spider-Man cartoons?
MuscleTech gets respect from anyone who uses its products and obtained results (and can get them at a good price).
Besides, who DOESN'T train chest on Monday nights.
;D
-
Those who don't use MT products dont train chest on Monday nights and start off with flat bench pressing.
Is your chest sore, MCWAY?
Venom is a pussy...he shines Carnages' shoes!

Actually, it is slightly sore. But, I don't start off with flat-bench presses! I warm up with pec-deck flyes, then the benches (with some inclines for good measure), and lastly some dips.
Mondays and Thursdays are for upper body; on Tuesday and Fridays, it's time to hit legs.
-
Yea, okay!
The normal everyday MT user...the people MT are trying to capture never ever train legs and never has or never will.

BZZZZ!!! Wrong!!!
Tuesdays and Fridays have almost always been leg days for me. I've trained this way LONG before MuscleTech ever existed.
And what's with this "capture" stuff? MuscleTech is a supplement company, not the police or the secret service.

*ahem* get over it guys......... "girly men" ;D
