What I do is when I wake up I drink 2 protein shakes. During my workout I drink 1 protein shkes while working out, when I get home from the gym I drink 1 glass of creatine. Now I asked people at my local GNC and they said it was good to take both and I asked a couple of people and they didnt recomend it. You guys know if this is healthy for you? Thanx.

Protein shakes are alright but Myoplex is by far the best. It has alot more in it than just protein and it builds lean mass. When I was building up after I would finish eating I would drink a Myoplex as well. It's hard to do but it works.
And no supplement you will ever take is as good as eating the right foods. The protein in tuna, nuts, and other food based source is always the best way to go. Protein shakes are just supposed to add on to that. If your not eating the right foods your essentially wasting your money.

I take Trac creatine which has arginine. It enlarges the blood vessels and increases blood flow. With other creatines (that only held water, i.e. CellTech) as soon as I finished cardio I would feel depleted again.
Trac doesn't do that. It retains water and helps to build into lean mass.

Use the protein as an immediate post workout recovery and in between meals through out the day....
FYI: anyone using sreatine should be consuming at least 1 gal of water....Last edited by Detroit101; 03-27-2008, 03:03 PM.
