creatine on cycle?

Have been taking creatine all the time during natural cycles but now that i have started my first AAS cycle I was told by someone at the gym that there's no longer any point in taking creatine, as any effect it has on my body will go unnoticed because of the far stronger effect of the Test-e and dbol.

Is this true? Do people still bother with creatine on AAS cycles?
 
This depending on the what you are running imop. Because something like tren/epistane is dry creatine retains and will need water to make it beneficial and work the way creatine suppose to work. Now on other wet compounds I would say hell why not! I mean a little mainentence 5g of it should be suffice but on any pct I say yes to creatine and maybe for a loading phase of it since mono is slow anyways but it is the best as far as effectivness I would run creatine ona 5-7 day loading on pct dosing it according to yuor weight etc. Hope that helps.
 
Wasn't there a thread about this very same subject a day or two ago?

Conventional wisdom is no creatine or N.O. products on cycle. Save it for PCT. At least I know that's the thinking for compounds that give you dry gains as Broodstar said. Not sure about the others.
 
Lagear is correct any N.O products will raise blood pressure and tren is one that is known to increase it highly. Also as mentioned inho why would you stack creatine with someone that will dry your joints out does not make sence since creatine needs water available but just to be on the safe side save the creatine for pct because usually after cycles people tend to lose strength and creatine will help manage some of it. Good luck.
 
i think he is taking test-e and dbol, both are wet. and dbol will raise ur blood pressure fast! but id go ahead and if u have enough creatine to use on cycle and pct id just keep using it. how long are you using test-e for? 10 weeks?
 
tnubs has a great idea yeah if thats what your using dbol is wet and yeah Id go for it and on pct. Gains would prolly be out the @$$

Depends what your protocol for taking creatine is mate.

If you do a loading phase then you might get a nice strength boost as you come off cycle and roll into PCT as the androgens leave your body.

If you've already come off it, leave it until PCT and reintroduce it with a loading phase, otherwise just keep taking it mate, it might help with recovery since creatine resynthesis is elevated with test.

How's the cycle going mate? You finding the pinning ok?
 
Save it for pct, will be utilized better to help keep gains.
On a side note, NO products actually lower BP. Only the NO products with stims will make it rise.
 
On cycle I take it only on workout days, more for recovery rather than trying to increase performance, but during PCT everyday. BTW imho creatine loading is BS. I have used creatine since it came on the market and have not seen any difference between loading and not loading in my training log.
 
I don't use creatine while on cycle simply for the fact that I try and get as many advantages as possible during PCT to keep my gains. Creatine seems to leave your body after about a month or so (some people are different I reckon), and reintroducing would be a small boost to the overall efforts of PCT. You should be a machine on cycle. The machine needs a little help after getting off the high of extra test.

totally forgot about this thread for like a week, just checked back and seen all the replies :shocked:

Well i'm just over 3 weeks in to the cycle, no problems at all apart from a bit of acne. My first injection failed as the first ampule I tried to open shattered on my thumb, but after that its been fine. My strength doesnt seem to have gone up but my weight has increased by 7kg in 3 weeks :lol:

I asked about cycling creatine in a previous thread and the general concensus was that theres no point in cycling it, ive already been taking creatine for a couple of months now and as its fairly cheap I think i'll just carry on taking it all the way through, I see no advantage in stopping and then going back on it again for pct.
 
As far as not using creatine with "dry" compounds, I'd tend to think that the creatine would allow your muscles to retain more water, just like off cycle.
 
ah bound good point indeed we all know creatine does hold water so I guess I mean its like lets say if you wanted to stack m14ad and havoc for example one wet compound one dry compound. Creatine holds water so its kind of like the one dry/wet compound so yeah bound good point. I am on tren and epi and I use damn jacked even when itys not advised but I keep very close to my bp and its actually very good but I cant wait in 2 weeks starts my pct and I am going to reload on creatine.
