"Or"?

Try taking BOTH creatine and weight gainer. I recommend CELL-TECH and N-Large², respectively.

As for your alleged lack of success with creatine, a few questions come to mind:

1) Did you load the first week with the creatine?

2) Are you consuming enough calories?

3) Are you getting enough rest?

Get enough calories in you and then worry about the supps. Weight gainer is great for right after the workoout but plan on having 5 real meals a day too.

Post by: smaul on February 06, 2007, 03:33:25 AM: Weight gainer will make the gains more permanent. I like to use creatine to get past a sticking point or to increase energy when I'm dieting.

Actually, it's a fairly good product. I used it myself for about 3 years, when I was in college, interchanging it with the 12-lb bags of Mega Mass 2000 (depending on which was cheaper). Though both are quite carb-heavy, Giant Mega Mass is a bit more protein-dense then Super Mega Mass is.

The one knock is that the protein quantity varies based on flavor. I believe Vanilla has more than Chocolate and Pineapple has more than either one of them (but, the only place I've seen that flavor is in Spain).

What kind of weight gainer is it? I didn't know they came with creatine in them.

It might be the new one from MET-Rx, called XTreme Size-Up.
