For those of you that take a creatine supplement, do you take it before or after you work out? I've tried both and didn't know if it made a difference. When I take it before I lift, my muscles feel more swollen during the workout. Is that normal? Thanks in advance.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

My recent reading has suggeted that anything other than monohydrate is about as useful as cow s***. Which sucks, because a few weeks before I bought some ethyl ester, luckily a small amount.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

GO with cereatine mono hydrate.
The Ethyl Ester is proclaimed to "absorb better into your muscles than MH" but honestly, you wont notice a difference.
I have never heard about the Hydrochloride but you gotta take GNC with a grain of salt- It is of course the GENERAL nutrition center. Some of the stuff there won't help.
Myself I wouldnt go with creatine at all, as no studies have been done on it, but to each his own. It makes an undenyable difference but I have never felt the need to use it in my training.

There are plenty of studies proving creatine's efficacy. I don't know why you wouldn't use it if you admit you know it makes a difference; it's cheap as hell if you buy in bulk.LostAndConfused said:Myself I wouldnt go with creatine at all, as no studies have been done on it, but to each his own.

It's a cell volumizer, so I'd take the bulk of the serving before...
If you're aiming for 2 scoops per workout day, then throw 1.5 scoops pre-workout, and 0.5 post workout.
