Post Workout Supplementation

[laxguy1028]

Hey guys, recently i purchased some nitro-tech and cell-tech. I know that this is strognly discouraged by many board members but i got them for a very good price and only bought a small amount so i could try it to see if i like it or not. I have a couple of questions though. First, the nitro-tech and the cell-tech are two different flavors so should i have two different post-workout shakes? Also the recomended amount for the cell-tech is to have a 5 day loading period with 20gs daily then after the first five days just 10g. From reading about creatine 5g's seems to be the recommended amount by board members so i was thinking of just taking one 5g scoop post workout on days when i workout and 1 scoop in the morning on rest days. Thanks!

but i got them for a very good priceNo you didn't. You can get an almost year's supply of creatine mono for 30 buck or less.

You don't need to load. You only need to take 5 grams a day, both on work out days and rest days.

I got a tub for 5 bucks from a friend, i though that it was a good price. And when should i take the 5g's on workout days, pre or post workout and before or after the nitro-tech.

If it was just regular creatine monohydrate, you could mix it with the Nitro-Tech, but since it's flavored, that might end up tasting like some kind of nasty funk.

How much do you weigh, why would you just follow the directions on the back?

[laxguy1028]

ok thanks, next time i will go with the regular creatine mono. MY plan is to have 5g's creatine directly after i workout then the nitro-tech 30 mins after that.

Try Creatine 500 from AtLargeNutrition and add some Gatorade powder ( dextose ) and you will get your own Cell Tech. Same with Nitro Tech, buy Protein from this guys too, Muscletech is too expensive.

So cell tech is basically Whey + Dextose?

And thats optimal for after your workout right?

[WILL006]

cell-tech is basically creatine and lots of sugar. Cell-tech was all i use to buy till i went broke buying it every 2 months! Trust me Creatine 500 from AtLargeNutrition is the same thing just a lot cheaper.

And yes it is optimal right after your workout or before

Nope, Creatine + Dextrose.

Trust me Creatine 500 from AtLargeNutrition is the same thing just a lot cheaper.
While AtLarge's may be as effective, this statement is misleading as the 2 products are not the same.


A minor detail but please go the extra distance to distinguish this for unassuming newbies.
