Am I the only one who still makes their own Creatine combination? Also, this mix ok?

[Future Prodigy]

I remember 4 years back when i was weight lifting hard i made my own creatine batch (well mix of stuff) instead of buying expsenive brands liek cell tech and what not.

I normally used:
Prolab mono creatine 5g
Dextrose 70gs
ALA 100-200g
occasionally some taurine

It seems the new trend on this board is to buy these new ones that have all kinds of other added thigns to them. IS the mix i stated above now considered obsolete? Im not in with the new trends and findings these days.

For the most part, I use plan old creatine monohydrate. Mix w/apple juice or gatorade. Have tried some newer kinds also, but like I said most of the time I just use mono. Brand isn't so important. Have used GNC, prolab, and several other monos. So no, its not obsolete. Lots of people still use it. THink alot have got caught up in the hype of this new CEE and no2 stuff. I don't think its as good as they claim it is(cuz i've tried it). DOn't get me wrong, it works pretty well, w/o h2o retention. But i don't get much bloat from mono either, just cramps sometimes.

Your mix is fine... Lots are now trying the newer CEE, takes less and works better by most accounts.

i mix creatine 10grams w\65-70grams of dex (gatorade powder) does the trick nice

sometimes i switch it up and take some swole (which i swear by)
