creatine and cramps

[Guest Latent Blue]

Yes it was weekend, when I'm out and about, no time for posting on the internet.

 

Such is life

EPO would be a better bet

 

How much is it?

How much is it?

 

R1800 a month..

and Creatine is only R200 a month.

 

I have been using Creatine as a way of building muscle mass, along with 5 Crossfit sessions a week.

Does it work for me? Ya (no cramps either).

 

But I wouldn't bother using it if all I was doing was cycling. In that case I would just use Glutamine for recovery, and probably a protein supplement - try the Collagen one for The Real soemthing or other.

Wow there are some monkeys commenting in this thread. Assuming you're part of the higher "LSM's" makes me concerned.

 

Please don't comment on supplements if you have limited (if any) knowledge on nutrition and supplementation in sports and think taking protein shake is taking steroids.

 

Face-palm to the trolls.

 

Please continue with the informative thread...

I still want to do more research into taking Glutamine orally... Studies prove the benefit of glutamine on recovery taken intravenously but orally into the stomach is still debatable. Personally I don't find a benefit from taking it, but that can change from person to person i guess.

It's funny that you say that

Its funny that you say that...I only started with Glutamine because my wife was already using it, so it was easy for me to have a scoop after a session without committing to it. Overall I find it helps, but it could just be in my mind...
