Recently got "MuscleTech Creacore" because it was cheap on Amazon. Tasted like an ass so I had to return it goodboy
Will try that one. I was off creatine for about a year too. Couldn't really feel/tell any tangible results but maybe some work
Any recommendation for protein? I was mostly using Whey Gold standard lol but got some bad-tasting batches or something I have been trying different brands. Now using APS Nutrition IsoMorph graham cracker flavor, it's pretty tasty. Not sure how good it is.. I try to take protein from meat (mostly chicken and fish) though.
Should always try a creatine with monohydrate inside iggs, creacore by muscletech seems like it doesn't have it. Mono although didn't work for me as well, I did still see some strength gains but bloated the ish out of me. One am using was like 40 bucks, although I was curious to trying a blend version lol But I like it, but if you don't want that, just get Optimum Nutrition Creatine Mono
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/crea.html for like 20 bucks, would work. I do recommend what I'm using though.
Phucking guy lol I'm not really that picky about taste, It's whatever to me, long as its drinkable I dont really think about it lol I'm using Gold Standard too, its technically the best one out there. Although protein is protein at the end of the day, just various on quantity. But yeah you're right, from solid foods is the whey to go

I use a different blend, BPI Sports Best Creatine. Got it on a Bogo and it works great for me. Snow cone is an amazing flavor.

Start doing research on these products and try samples before you make purchases. Getting something just because it's cheap is a recipe for failure. Bb.com is your best friend for reviews and recommendations. I can recommend a few great tasting and effective proteins but your budget and goals are something I'd need to know about first. If you're trying to stay low budget, a regular protein blend will work (like syntha-6). If you want something more effective and "pure" so to speak, then you'll want whey isolates (like pro-jym). There is a difference between the two. A lot of regular protein blends lack egg protein and has fillers like BCAAs to fill containers, that's where isolates come in. They're usually smaller containers and more expensive. It's a great idea to eat natural protein enriched foods (red meats, FRESH tuna, cod, etc, and poultry). Certain proteins are burned differently in our bodies too. Casein is the preferred protein to take overnight for its slow burning properties. Anyway, protein powders should supplement your intake, not replace your intake. (1-1.5G of protein per lb of bodyweight).
You should use creatine blends like HWR suggested. Works for me. I freak people out with my sudden strength.
