Since creatine hydrates muscle, and the ECA stack has a weak diuretic effect, will being on both at the same time affect the results I get from creatine?    | ||

I believe caffeine has negative effects on creatine absorption. I would reccomend you do a cycle of eca then go to creatine. | ||

I've done loading phases on ECA and off. The ECA really kills alot of the absorbtion since you can't soak up all the water that the creatine will give you. Anytime I creatine load I gain exactly 8 pounds in 1 week. When I did it on ECA I only gained 3 pounds. The following week I got off of the ECA and kept loading. I gained the other 5 that I would normally gain. My advice is at least get off the ECA during the loading phase. | ||

I would think that the stack would decrease creatine absorption since the stack increases free fatty acids and this reduces insulin sensitivity. Since insulin is beneficial in creatine absorption, this may be detrimental. | ||

I disagree with Concrete Mass. Yes, they're antagonistic, but so what? That's true of a lot of med combos, even gear stacks used in BB. I use ECA while loading on creatine, and don't gain Amp's 8 pounds (wow!), but still notice a gain in strength and muscle fullness. Concrete, you seem really negative about using both together.
