Cheers bro
 
The cherry bakewell is really good, the only other I've tried is the apple cinnamon swirl which is really nice as well.
To be honest the only one I've heard anything bad about was the limited edition jaffa cake one.

Banana smooth (really liked the MP one with a coupla bananas blended in)
Vanilla Cream (figure it'll mix with other stuff)
Cherry Bakewell (reviews sounded positive)
Sampler thing of the lemon shortcake

Bakewell is great but the lemon shortcake was too much for me (i used it as my freebie)

Just ordered strawberries and cream to try and got some creatine for my pre work out in berry

Creatine for pre-workout?

Is there a particular reason for this? :)

I'm probably wrong but I was told to make sure you get creatine in you before lifting. I'll obv take the second dose in the afternoon.

I'm not 100% sure on which supp to take for full pre-workout. But I don't drink anything with caffeine in (well the odd coke - less than a can a fortnight) so Am unsure how I'd react to the pre workout formulas rammed with it lol

There's no real benefit in taking creatine pre-workout as its mechanism of action isn't based on a period immediately post-consumption like caffeine, for instance.

Creatine works via accumulation in skeletal muscles (and brain) over a period of weeks - practical effects show up after 3-8 weeks, depending on dose pattern, metabolism, training and muscle type.

Just make sure you get 5g/day taken at the same time (or around the same time) as carbs and you'll get the whole nine yards. Also drink plenty of water. :cool:

Ah cool, thanks for clearing things up (I R still a n00b). It's due to come monday so I'll probably dose at breakfast (porridge) and whatever meal I have my brown rice with
 
Why is it that sooooo many people misuse creatine like this?

I've also come across plonkers who seem to think that the fluid retention caused by creatine loading equated to them having achieved a massive gain in skeletal muscle.
