@skinny, I.F is useful for people who want to get from lean (10%) to ripped (around 6%) correct? would taking creatine not make you look as ripped or does it depend on the person and their water retention? Posted via RS Mobile | Creatine is fine Posted via RS Mobile | |

gerbs you can do parallel but you'll put a lot more strain on your knees and they're going to feel like hit when you go heavy
just stretch your abductors more and you'll be able to do it in a while, we're meant to squat a2g Posted via RS Mobile | |

also, when you go on creatine then you go off of it, how much weight will you lose? (a range)

if i might gain 1lb in 4 months without creatine...
on creatine i would gain maybe 5lbs of bodyweight in 3 months, and then lose 3lbs in 1 month being off it. meaning id gain 2lbs of lean muscle in 4 months. at most
LEAN muscle. not body weight.
when you get passed the noob gains for the first year or 2, you simply dont make huge lean muscle gains anymore.
and creatine isnt to make you gain weight. its to allow your muscles to lift a little heavier (maybe 10%) for a while. and hopefully by feeding them with FOOD, and lifting heavier, you maybe put a little bit more muscle on.
creatine, beta alanine, etc, are not magic get bigger powders. they are simply a tool to help guys who have already made good gains continue making little gains.

IMO a2g is more of an ego thing than anything else. Once you are just below parallel, you have recruited all the muscles you need for squatting, unless you are super flexible. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Been debating to get cell-tech or not. But since its Valentines day Priced matched this baby plus 20%off https://www.svncanada.com/product/10...-series-6.6lbs
It says to load 4 scoops daily for 5 days,(20g Creatine Mono) Would it still work if i loaded 20g Creatine Mono for 5 days then after loading is done, i go back to cell-tech?

But it's always good to hear other opinions, and do further Due Diligence | As long as you're not bouncing at the low negative of the squat ATG or past parallel is fine. I do ATG because of what you said, the range of motion increases and I feel a better burn in the quads.

also you either go down and up without a bounce at all, or go down and bounce right back up like dropping a basketball. don't go down then bounce around down there then get up afterwards

when do you guys take your multi vits?
also, assault before or during workout? and if you take assault, creatine afterwards right? not before.

Definitely do not need to take it intra-workout as its effects linger for quite some time.
I usually don't count any creatine from PWO's .. just take creatine at the same time, every day, in the same way. Your body loves regularity, so let it have it. Try getting some green tea and dissolving creatine in there, what I've been doing (gets rid of grittiness + probably makes it more bio-available).

But it's always good to hear other opinions, and do further Due Diligence | Yeah lately I have been basing everything I think about squats on what Rippetoe says. I understood it decently before, the biggest difference he made for me was switching to low bar, which immediately made a HUGE difference for me.
