CNP Pro Recover > Recovery XS

I recommend it to everyone, tastes nicer, better ingredients and doesn't have that god awful Creapure in it

what's wrong with Creapure ?

The Hydrobuilder i use has 5G German Micronized Creapure in it per serving; i was under the impression this was the best form of creatine on the market?

If it works for you then nothing at all

I looked a lot better shortly after swapping Recovery out for CNP

It gives me really bad bloat/water retention, as does for a lot of people

The best, and unfortunately most expensive by a mile is Creatine Gluconate

I like the way it burns when I drink it down though :mad:

Steedie · 20 Feb 2012 at 10:15

CNP burns too

Delvis · 20 Feb 2012 at 10:18

Pfft, you guys and your supps

Steedie · 20 Feb 2012 at 10:19

Post workout supps are the only other ones I condone <3

Pretty vital tbh

I'm taking 1 scoop myofusion after a workout at the moment because I don't want anything with creatine. CNP Recover looks good, fast acting carbs and protein is a good combo PWO.

I just take some whey when I get home normally

Even works out cheaper in the long run as you buy 3 lots of Recovery XS in the time that you'd use that

Need fast acting carbs too though

If you can't afford a dedicated PWO shake, just buy some Dextrose off of MyProtein and add that

Delvis · 20 Feb 2012 at 10:32

Nice

I've always been told to jsut 'get some protein in' afterwards, adding the carbs would slow the intake.

Will look in to it matey

No! The opposite!! Adding carbs (fast acting ones) will create an insulin spike which will then speed up the delivery of nutrients to the muscles.

Fat on the other hand would slow things down

But fast acting carbs WITH protein?

LiE · 20 Feb 2012 at 10:38

Yep, it's a great combo.

Cristian · 20 Feb 2012 at 10:46

it's the only time of the day when you should eat fast absorbing carbs.
that's why I use it fur cheats meals that are full of sugar

Skillmister · 20 Feb 2012 at 10:46
