Every great workout is preceded by a massive dump!

I workout at 6 am so I usually take a dump before I go to bed or else it ends up ruining my workout halfway through. Post workout protein really gets my stomach rumbling though, I'm in the bathroom no longer than 30 minutes after I drink my shake.

What are you taking and are you mixing it with milk??

Two scoops of Gold Standard protein, one scoop creatine, two eggs, all mixed together with milk.

There is your problem.

Let me be very clear with you. I'm not a workout guru or a nutritionists but I know a little about working out and nutrition. So what I'm about to share you can also do your own research since everything Im about to share depends on THAT INDIVIDUAL weight age and workout routine.

Again I'm only sharing my experience and knowledge.

For starters your mixing way too many things all at once.
Next. You might be lactose tolerant.
Most Protein are made from milk and most of them have lactose in them so mixing 2 scoops and Im sure your probably taking it with whole milk specially mixing it with Creatine is going to be pretty rough on your digestive system.
Next body can't absorb more than 20-30 grams of protein at a time depending on your weight too.


My recommendation which I usually take everyday and I don't touch Creatine .

Take one scoop of Protein powder and I usually take it with an egg white none fat milk one banana and one TABLE spoon of peanut butter and I add one TEA spoon Glutamine and I mix it with a little ice in the morning right after I wake up.

Now to your creatine.

Experts say which hasn't been really proven but it what majority of guys that take creatine claim is the best results. You should only take 20 to 25 grams of creatine depending on your weight (150 lbs) . So lets say if you weight 175 lbs then add 2 to 4 more grams. Take your creatine with either water or juice. Breaks down and tastes better that way.

The important thing about Creatine you need to understand is you only need 20 to 25 grams and it should be taken at a specific time. For example. You can take your protein when you wake up or better yet when you sleep or within 30 min post work out. Again I take it in the morning right when I wakeup BUT with Creatine you can take 10 grams lets say at 12 pm and again 10 grams at 6 pm. As long as your are taking 20 grams at SPECIFIC time everyday for 5 days a week and no more than 4 weeks then you shouldn't have any problems with it.

Again I don't like nor do I take Creatine.

Now if you want to know a nice stack that I take then here it is.

I take my Protein Pro Matrix with Glutamine drink as I mentioned earlier in the AM.
Before I train I take one tab Tribuloid by Golitath labs. HUGE HUGE strength gains and Mass gains. Best legal form of juice that is legal.
After my workout I take Aftershock by Myongenix..... Best post workout drink I have ever used. No body aches, no soreness and recovery.

Now read the reviews of the three items I take and mentioned in blue and you can clearly see that hands down it is the best combo of Mass, Recovery, and gains products in the market that you can buy.


And make sure you eat clean. I try but lately I haven't since I am in my bulking phase/cycle right now so Im okay.

I promise you or whoever reads this. Take what I mentioned above and train hard and you will see some amazing gains/results.

But again it depends on your age and body weight. For me. Im 6.1 and I weight around 210-215 with 11.2 to 12.0% bft and winter time around 210-220 with 13.5% 15.0% depending on what time of the season it is.

20g of Creatine? Are you sure? I feel bloated as hell with 2.5g a day and creatine overdose is a main cause of dysentery/diarrhea.

[Mamba Mentality]

I'm 6ft and weigh roughly 170 lbs. I want to weigh somewhere around 180-185 lbs. I've hit a wall as far as putting on weight though, and I accredit that mostly to basketball (play 3-4 times a week). I feel like I sweat off all my gains.

The recommended serving size for the creatine that I'm on is 5 grams. I'm assuming the 20 that you suggested is either a typo or divided throughout the day. I think I would explode if I quadrupled the dosage in one sitting.

As far as my diet goes I eat clean 6 days a week. I cheat on Sundays which usually consists of pizza and a soda. Artificial sugars and fried foods are virtually nonexistant in my diet. I don't really keep track of my calories, but I try to consume 4 full meals every day.

I'll look into items that you suggested. I've never been keen on taking pills, but the Tribuloid tabs have some good reviews. I usually take C4 as my preworkout, tastes excellent and I get a crazy pump 10 minutes into my workout. I'll probably stick with that.

Yes sir. Like I said experts say and I personally don't take Creatine so I cant really addressed or share any personal experience about gains or digestive issues but here is a link. Its basically same grams recommendation everywhere. Also that's why I recommended taking 10 grams in two different times a day since from what I have heard 20 grams is just too much for anybody to digest at once.


http://www.nutritionexpress.com/showart ... ticleid=61

Loading Phase (first week of use)
The accumulated data from studies and anecdotal reports suggest a loading phase of creatine which will saturate your muscles with creatine. Most manufacturers recommend about 15 to 25 grams per day for 1 week. Some users will skip the loading phase. Studies have shown just taking the maintenance dose of about 5 grams a day will accomplish the same result as loading except that it will take 3-4 weeks for your system to reach saturation levels as opposed to only 1 week when you load. So the benefit to loading is quicker results, not greater results. A small percentage of people will not do the loading phase if they notice some gastric distress at the higher 15-25 gram a day loading dose.

And Im assuming your probably under the 30??
Unfortuantly you have to decide which is more important to you. Basketball or Lifting. I do do both Ball and lift. But I train 5 days a week and ball maybe once or twice a week and that's because of Cardio only.

The recommended serving size for the creatine that I'm on is 5 grams. I'm assuming the 20 that you suggested is either a typo or divided throughout the day. I think I would explode if I quadrupled the dosage in one sitting.

Like I addressed earlier. Im not a fan of Creatine for a lot of personal reasons and I cant really speak much on it on personal bases but like I posted earlier most manufactors and so called experts recommend 20 to 25 grams to see results. Outside of that I wrote I have heard people breaking up the 20 grams in two or four posrtions a day.

As far as my diet goes I eat clean 6 days a week. I cheat on Sundays which usually consists of pizza and a soda. Artificial sugars and fried foods are virtually nonexistant in my diet. I don't really keep track of my calories, but I try to consume 4 full meals every day.

Nice, like I said I have a feeling your in your 20s since your metabolism is probably on overdrive and you ball everyday so its going to be very hard for you to see any mass gains. Im sure your cut!

I'll look into items that you suggested. I've never been keen on taking pills, but the Tribuloid tabs have some good reviews. I usually take C4 as my preworkout, tastes excellent and I get a crazy pump 10 minutes into my workout. I'll probably stick with that.

The trenbuloid I recommended isn't a post workout. Its a testosterone booster. I personally need it since Im not in my 20s. And it is recommended to be taken before you workout. I use to take Gaspari Pump but that was just too much for me to handle. Between the Tribuloid and Post workout drink I felt like my heart and my body was going to explode. Again I shared the Tribuloid since its a great test booster and I have seen a lot of good reviews before I tried it and after I did it has been amazing. By the way they are capsules and very easily digested.

@Tony Montana, I'm 24 and an absolute basketball junky. I've been that way for years. I tried to cut down to a couple days a week but that just didn't work out for me. Even with all the hours I spend in the basketball gym, I still find the time to work out 5 times a week.

I'll try and up my creatine intake next week and see what happens. It cant hurt as long as I'm consuming enough water throughout the day. As for the tabs, I've already invested too much money on other proteins supplements so that will have to wait.

[hermes]

let me know what they figure out

The creationist answer to everything was basically theres a book etc etc. Not much of a debate.

so science doesn't uses books? sounds pretty sketchy to me

Ya I figured that.
Your at an age that your bodies metabolism is high right now and on top of it your balling everyday so basically mass and gains is going to be really hard to come by. Like I said, you have to pick either one. Train for mass and cardio a few days or ball and lift for cuts and endurance.

I'll try and up my creatine intake next week and see what happens. It cant hurt as long as I'm consuming enough water throughout the day. As for the tabs, I've already invested too much money on other proteins supplements so that will have to wait.

I feel you on that. I spend a good amount of money on my gear. People don't realize how much commitment time and money it take just to get a decent body. But seems like your on track. Stay positive and keep up the good work. I have my ups and downs when it comes to training. I was in the same boat when I was your age and as I started training in my teens. The good thing about training is "Muscle memory" I can take a month or two off and get a little belly and lose some size but the minute I get back in the gym and train for a month or so I see those gains and size coming back immediately. Stay positive and keep up the good work.

science might need to get its act together and get more efficient
