Creatine during cycle?

ad

Bout to start my first cycle next week and was wondering if I should take creatine during it. Is it even necessary? Or should I just wait till pct to take it? Thx for any ideas eroiders!

Throw it in post cycle to give an extra kick and possibly keep the gains going ;)

There is a lot of evidence that creatine supplementation is protective against degenerative diseases of the brain, like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease. It is worth taking on the regular for lifetime brain health.

Here's a link to a scientific abstract for a review of the literature on the neuroprotective effects of creatine, if you're interested:

I have had good results with cre-alkiline while cruising for sure.

i believe creatine is a good nutrient. i supplement 3-5g and use every day for the most part like a multi-vit. i buy a kilo of it for under $15 dollars. even though its effectiveness is nothing compared to roids, i noticed that it helps very slightly towards the end of my workouts then when i am not using it. i am less fatigued and will get a few more reps at the end.
granted this is nothing big, when i record my lifts i see the difference on paper.

If ur gettin the good stuff why do you need creatine? If I were you I'd save the creatine until you get the off cycle blues. I think creatine is way overrated though.

Thats what I'm leaning towards. Just putting this idea out there to see if anyone here has any experience with the 2 together.

Creatine - bronxsport.com Just wanted to write and say that I'm VERY satisfied with my purchase.

Ur going to gain some retention with the test. I suggest you save the creatine for after the cycle. I don't believe in "loading" creatine either.

First cycle, doing 12 weeks of test e at 500mg a week. Creatines worked for me in the past, just wondering if theres any benefit to take it during cycle.

Creatine was origionally created as bloods revealed that during cycle creatine went way up. Water loaded into cells can be anabolic as each cell hold more energy n nutrients. So creatine was isolated to mimic this. After pct sure. You have your ai and pct? Glad you're doing the normal starter cycle!! High five!

I didnt know that, pretty interesting. Yep, got some adex for my ai, and the usual clomid nolva combo for pct. Im ready to rock and roll. I want to start it right now, but im going on vacation for a week on monday. ahhhhh!
