A better bet would be to set up the dextrose/malto/ protein for your lean bodyweight, and take your plain micronized creatine and glutamine about 20 minutes into your PWO shake. You will have high levels of circulating serum insulin at this point, and well suffice uptake. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

So I think I will put off on getting the creatine (all the stores here only carry the flavored packed w/ sugar). I think I will stick with whey for now and just eat alot better foods....Thanks for the advice will keep it in mind when I do plan on adding plain creatine to my supplement list.
