I honestly wouldnt play with it. You can come in crisp and hard without it, why throw in a variable that could fuck shit up when its only gonna make a 2% difference tops.

If your muscles are supersaturated with carbs from the carb load, every 1g of carbs takes with it 2.7g water. Now only thing ur lookin for from the creatine is extra water in the muscle right? Thats what creatine is known to do, superhydrate the muscle. If your overloaded on carbs properly, your also overloaded on water pulled into the muscle which is what you want, what more can creatine possibly do for you if you get that right?

I seriously doubt that if you get your carb load, water control, and sodium control right, that the creatine will help you pack in any EXTRA water in your muscles considering its already superhydrated past the point it normally supports.

agree

yea I know adding variables in the last stage is not always a good thing, Milos on his board acvocates it says he does it too, while others cut for water depletion. I just curious what others have done? But you are right in the fact why add more variables, dont fix what is not broken huh? thanx bud

Not only dont fix whats not broken, i just dont see it helping matter at ALL if you nail the carb load and water depletion as well as the sodium. All its gonna do is superhydrate, but thats what the carb load will do, so what do you need it for, put all your efforts into the carb load n shit rather than spread urself thin tryin to add one more thing that isnt gonna do you any better than nailing the carbs anyway.

I agree here with TP4U on not trying to add things into the mix that your unfamiliar with so close to your comp. You look fantastic BTW!

On a side note...I started taking 5g every day of the new CEE from BAC and am about to puke trying to get it down. I've been mixing it into a 32 oz. bottle of grape Gatorade and drinking it during my workouts but the stuff is so sour...like powdered Vit C meets battery acid.
Anybody got a good recipie/trick in getting this stuff down the hatch?

I thought it tasted purty good in some lemon-lime gatorade

Fill the mouth with gatorade, then dump in the CEE and swallow. It sucks for about 5sec, but no after-taste. Cjay

so I just finished my workout and I'm making my protein shake and I had two cups there, one for protein, one for CEE, by mistake I put the CEE in with my CHOCOLATE shake and almost puked when I drank it

I would avoid that combo if at all possible
