My Psl Cycle, started early, I'm compulsive

I think you'd need 3+lbs of red meat a day to equal the 3-5g suggested daily dosage of creatine. That's a little bit much for many people. Yes some people are non-responders and get nothing from added creatine. Also one doesn't get de-sensitized to creatine. What happens is the muscles get fully saturated and maximum effects are achieved.

So cycling Creatine would be ideal

What's the reason for coming off unless you're dieting down for a contest and shedding water weight?

So you can take it forever basically?

So you can take it forever basically?

Long term studies have not shown any sort of statisticlally significant health complications. It's actually one of the safest, if not the safest, supplements out there and also one of the most studied and documented. I get off it every now and then at the end of a cut just to get rid of water weight and see my results without the water. It takes around 1 month to fully metabolize from your system and also about 1 month to fully saturate your system (assuming you don't front load). All you need is 3-5g/day nothing crazy. Increase your water intake slightly to make full use of it since it helps skeletal muscle retain water and by doing so can leave you slightly dehydrated if your fluid intake is low. And I'd also recommend to lift heavy when using it. Creatine phosphate is important bc short your body has several energy sources to tap into depending on the intensity and duration of the exercise. Low intensity and long duration bouts will use triglycerides as a fuel source in aerobic metabolism. Short duration high intensity bouts of exercise such as weight lifting (especially when you work in high %'s of 1RM) and sprinting will use glycolotic metabolism and ATP to fuel the exercise ATP is stored in the body and the amkunt stored can be increased through lifting but what's important to consider is that for energy, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) loses a phosphate group when metabolized becoming adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Creatine gives off a phosphate group for ADP to revert back to ATP and be able to be used for energy again. Since you only have so much stored ATP this kind of exertion or effort can only be sustained for so long. In increasing your ATP pool (lifting, sprinting, high intensity exercise) is one way of benefiting and increasing your anaerobic work capacity but you can also attack it by raising your creatine phosphate levels by supplementation. The more creatine in your body the better able to convert ADP back to ATP. there's only so much creatine that can be stored so no need to mega dose either.

Oh ok, good explanation, thanks for that

 

[DipKing]

Yeah I know but it's my choice, natural is to slow for me

I'm about a year older than you and did the same thing. Just remember sometimes it's good to go natural for a while. Refines diet and discipline. Good luck!

This... If your taking 5-10 g of creatine no way in hell your gonna eat that much red meat
A day.

How ironic, not one person in this thread has stated the following. YOUR TO YOUNG TO BE CYCLING AT 21. When in almost every other underage thread the first thing to be said is you need to wait till your 25.

Pull your heads in.

Valid point but coming from our in house addict doesn't lend much weight to it.

Chances are gabe will be better off in the long run becuase he is doing what he can to cycle properly compared to what you are doing toco

Isn't 16 weeks way too long to be running a cycle?

I heard it was better to run longe test cycles but someone correct me if I'm wrong

 

[bigtimechief]

Is running two orals in a 16 week cycle to much?

If i was considering this, i'd get bloodwork shortly before the 2nd oral cycle. That should give a good idea what your options are.

 

[getfitgabe]

Yeah cuz I might wanna run Anavar but I'm not sure yet

 

[getfitgabe]

Here's some before pics of me, will post more week 8 and week 16, yes I know I need to work on my abs

I never work my abs, but do you even see a difference if you work them or is abs basically based on your diet?

Working the abs out wont make them any more visible, that's a function of diet and body fat percentage and having enough muscle mass for something to show. Working abs out will strengthen the abs, help support the lumbar spine, will help you maintain lordotic extension, and will help drive your squat, deadlift, press, etc if trunk stability is a weak area for you n
