Beginner Question

FOR THE AUSSIES

I use AUSSIE BODIES creatine monohydrate which is super pure and resonably priced.

I also did a bit of research into the best ways to get the most out of it and was surprised that most people waste their creatine purely by the way they take it.

I found that it required a transport medium for absorption and one of the 'best' and readily available was GLUCODIN - powdered glucose which you can by from your supermarket.

I was advise that a 3:1 (glucodin:creatine) ratio should be used and that it should be taken at least 45 minute before your workout (and on off days). I found that by doing this I was psychologically pumped by the time I started my workout.

It was a strange feeling - almost like being on an but without smacky effect.

Just my experience.....

My experience has been it is best to maintain creatine and protien consistently. In other words the same amount on you rest days as your gym days.

Hmmm.....I guess that discredits the serum a little.

Better off with the monohydrate guys, but whever you do, don't spend big bucks on a creatine powder with the absorption/transport medium already added - its not worth the expense.

Get the pure monohydrate and try my suggestion above - I sure you will be pleased with the results.

Just out of curiosity, what doses are you guys using?

I tried a 20g loading week followed by two 10g maintenance weeks and blew myself away. I wouldn't have wanted to do any more, but at the same time, wouldn't do anything less!
