Thanks to Judgement Day and APS Nutrition for hooking me up with a bottle of Creatine Nitrate. I've been looking forward to trying this out since I had been hearing such great things about it.
Background:
6'0
208lbs, ~12% bf
30 year old male
I've been working out for about 10 or so years, off and on.
1RM Lifts:
Bench: 325lbs
Squat: 405lbs (3 reps)
Deadlift: 500lbs
I am a typical non-responder to creatine monohydrate, it's okay but meh. I started using it back in 2000 and it gave me bloat, GI distress, but did help a little in strength/endurance when I was first starting out. Since then I guess my body adjusted and I really don't get much over baseline out of various forms of creatine (mono, CEE, pyruvate, COP, gluconate, etc.). I continue to use them from time to time either through pre-workouts or intra-workouts (e.g., size on), but not to much effect.
So, with that bit of background info I'm going to try out APS Creatine Nitrate to see what it can do for me. I'll be looking for pumps, increased endurance, and increased strength. I'll be taking measurements to see any changes, and measuring week over week workouts (weight/reps).
Hope you enjoy the log!
