Considering your budget issues, I'd say it was unnecessary. Unless you're lactose intolerant.

Well, got it a while ago.

Things happen I guess, got it now so may as well use it

Yep yep

Worth a try I guess, but as you say, i'll probably go back to standard. Depends on what happens, if it does wonders for my boobs and belleh, then hey.

Yip.

It was an old conversation and it was mentioned that I should try it. Can't bloody make my porridge in the morning now!

Just started taking creatine monohydrate (loading phase) - definitely noticed an improvement on my stability/form/strength after about 5 days in.

My weight loss has stopped (which I expected) but should continue after I've loaded up on water.

Only thing I hate is taking 5 of those tablets at once.. massive & chalky... urgh....

Creatine will not have affected those

Well, it must be the placebo effect - as my lifts feel more controlled as I feel I have more strength to lift.

Delvis · 27 Jun 2012 at 11:37

As above at a guess...It will be a mental effect no doubt so you're just focusing more or something?

Why would you not get powder? :confused:

It costs pennies

Steedie · 27 Jun 2012 at 12:28

Yeah tablets are normally more expensive, powder is the way to go with creatine

Skillmister · 27 Jun 2012 at 12:32

Creatine... Not even once.

Delvis · 28 Jun 2012 at 07:10

Rite...Going to have to bite the bullet next month and get a bag of Impact Whey, this isolate **** does not mix with my porridge.

Works fine in the shakes (just kinda goes cloudy rather than frothy

) so I can use it for that at least.

Life is against me.

On the plus side, I'm looking to be weighing less this Friday than I was last Friday :cool:

Just have a shake alongside your porridge then?

Could do, but I'd have to use some of my flavoured oats to hide the taste

My shakes come out fine as I said.

It's when I make my porridge, doesn't matter whether it's in the microwave or on the hob, or if i mix it in cold or hot. Just taste naff and the texture is like hippo poo that's been on a diet of sand.

Steedie · 28 Jun 2012 at 10:48

Delvis...

Please tell me you're not putting your whey in your oats while cooking it?

Also, why even bother cooking it, I find it tastes much nicer cold if you get the rolled oats

Always done it like that, I mix the whey in with the water, add the oats, microwave and its done. With the new whey it just clumps up and turns to rubber.

I have the bog standard cheap oats from tesco, and can't see how they would be nice cold...?

If I put the whey in afterwards it doesn't mix as I don't have my porridge like water

Grow a pair

Or add half a tablespoon of nesquik (inb4 doesn't fit my macros)

Also cold oats are the win.
