Creatine Mono during or after a PH cycle?

Would it be better to run creatine monohydrate on cycle or after cycle?

I have heard people say both. On cycle for biggest gains or post cycle to maintain gains. What does everyone think??
 
You can run it during. There was a thread about this a couple days ago. You may want to sift through that.
 
it would be better to run creatine mono never. i hate monohydrate. its worthless. look at CEE or Kre-Alkalyn. mono gets so wasted in your stomach the absorption rate is pathetic.

Most lifters I know cycle it all year regardless of androgen use or not. That being said if you do use it regularly you can get by with 2 to 3 grms daily when combined with whey and glutamine (you can buy it pre-mixed), there are other benefits to creatine use aside from muscle volumizing so its more than worthwhile to use it regularly. Just my opinion and I hope it helps.
 
Like I've stated on another thread, creatine supplementation during a cycle does NOT diminish it's effectiveness during PCT. Also, androgens increase enzymatic activity (creatine kinase) which would behoove one to take creatine during a cycle.

Yup, straight through and beyond with occassional breaks, low dose, micronized and cycled a guy cant go wrong with that. Creapure is the best. JMO
 
I was originally lead to believe that mono just bloats and sucks at absorption (like Trav said) but just earlier today read an article and CEE actually is absorbed less for use by the body and mono doesn't bloat.

Travis, what do you suggest for a good creatine to run during cycle and PCT?

I just never use creatine anymore, because I hate the water retention.
 
AMTorres, If I were to suggest any creatine id go with Kre-Alkalyn. I seem to get very sore with lifting but while on K.A. I didnt get nearly as sore. very good stuff!!
 
have you ever seen that creatine called "concrete" forgot who's its by but that stuff seem to be ok, a lil expensive, but...
 
loading mono is like a colon clensing, better have a toilet in a wagon if your gonna leave the house.

haha, sounds harsh! Haha, how old are you lyfe?? That saying cracks me up but also reminds me of something my grandma would say, lol
 
Im 35, orphan grew up in orphanage in hollywood, squats,on the streets, foster homes, you know not an easy lyfe.
 
CEE is less effective than mono. I use GreenMag or nutra bulk mono, I've heard good things about Creapure and thought about trying it... but it was twice the price of nutra's new platinum series last week so it didn't happen.

That sucks, my little brother (biological) got taken away because of too much trouble and was put in boys homes until he was 18

I'll vouch for this statement. I started back on creatine mono a couple of months ago. It had been years since I had taken any, and forgot what it can do to a man.

That first night, I took 5g before working out and 5g after. I then commenced to demolishing our toilet over the next few hours. I'm not talking about just a squirt here or there - it was total devastation. The last stomach virus I had couldn't hold a candle to this event. The wife wasn't too happy about the situation, either. Lesson learned...

I still take it, but only do about 3-4g/day spaced out.

CREATINE MONO= EXTREME PISSASS
 
if youre willing to spend the money BSN Cellmass is a very good creatine as well. very expensive tho. kre alkalyn is like 15.00!!
 
I run various creatine blends 365. There is minimal need to cycle off as far as I'm concerned. I might drop down a little and hit it 2-3x a week for a month if I'm deloading but thats about it.
 
CEE is just a big scam. People who think it's better are buying into the marketing hype. Monohydrate is still the best and cheapest.

Just get some monohydrate and mix it in with some dextrose or honey and you're good to go.
 
what about green mag? been eyeing this for a while....

SNS makes a similar product too..but green mag's loaded with a few additional things like taurine etc.

I still can't link but check out the "Creatine Mono may affect T : DHT Ratio" thread. I too would love to see these results duplicated because they are really quite profound. A large increase in DHT seems like it would be most beneficial off-cycle where you would most benefit from the increased anabolism (imo, increased DHT conversion is not going to make a big improvement vs. 600mg/week test). If this is truly one of the main pathways by which creatine acts, it seems like it would lose some of its effect when paired with a steroid that doesn't convert to DHT. Thoughts anyone?
