End of Prime, now what?

Looking for some input on what to do now that I finished my first supplement other than protein or a preworkout. Prime worked well for me, definitely saw some good strength gains without adding any body fat. I'm going back to school soon and I'm planning on going for a lean bulk. I plan on starting creatine for the first time ever to help my put some more size on, but tryin to keep the definition that I have gained this summer. Right now I weigh about 200 (give or take a few from morning to night) and at the end of my last bulk about 220, but my strength is comparable after working my ass off all summer with two bottles of Prime, some white flood, and a few tubs of protein. How should I plan on dosing creatine to not get too bloated and lose definition? Also, would anyone recommend any other good products for a lean bulk? Thanks in advance.
 
5 grams of creapure daily.before or after workout,or split the doses between the two.take caffeine also for some fatburning and keep your definition.
 
I just use micronized creatine (though as was mentioned before me, creapure is what I always hear is the way to go) and I dose mine with my intra-workout BCAA blend. I was taking 1 tsp pre-workout, 1-tsp post-workout, but I would forget half the time, so I just put 2 tsp and drink from start to finish along with my BCAAs / Glutamine. Also take into consideration what pre-workout you're using and if there is any creatine in it.

Creatine is good, it's a staple for a reason, but I wouldn't expect too much from it alone in a bulk. If Prime worked well for you, I'd consider Pink Magic (it's got a high price tag, but I like it). It will allow you to go for strength gains and also has some of the recomp effects that Prime does.

As long as you're eating your caloric surplus clean, you can gauge fat-gain along the way and stay lean while adding the new mass.
 
Thanks for the help. I'm not looking to run any test boosters like Pink Magic at the time, basically because I can't afford it right now. I'm leanin towards crepure because its basically what everyone is recommending to me at this point and throwin in an extra protein shake daily. When I get back to school, I know putting the weight back on won't be a problem but keepin cut will be

Is this good for long term? I knnow that caffein isn't to bad for you, but how do people feel about the effects of extra caffein in the diet on body composition.

Just make sure to cycle it (and all stimulants). For most, it will lose its effectiveness after a while (and even if some things are still working, it won't feel like they are to you).
