Beginner's Guide To Using and Stacking Supplements (Part 5)

Okay, now you pretty much should know the ins and outs of the basic stuff like creatine, protein and glutamine, and if you're still wondering - yes, you can stack them together for better results - and in fact, I would recommend you make these 3 a consistent part of your supplementation program. (with the exception of cycling creatine)

You also know what kinds of each to get as a starting point - ie. American or Prolab creatine, Optimum 100 whey, etc.. These are great supplements to start off with, and you can slowly try other stuff as you progress. And if ever uncertain about something, you can always check on this site, and the chances are you'll find some answer for your questions.

This final part 5 of this really long beginner's guide to supplements will talk a little about supplementation planning - when to take your supplements.

Developing A Supplementation Plan

Developing a supplementation plan really depends on how your schedule works, and sometimes, it can be pretty tough if you have a tight schedule. But assuming you have the time or can some how work around it, this is how a basic supplementation plan would looking using creatine, glutamine, whey protein, and a weight gainer like N Large 2.

AM: Wake up

• take 1 serving of creatine (5g)
• take 1 serving of glutamine (5g)
• eat break fast

Mid morning: (between lunch and breakfast)

• take 1 serving of creatine (5g)
• take 1/2 (2 scoops) serving of Prolab N Large 2

Noon: Eat lunch

Mid afternoon:

• take 1 serving of creatine 1hour before workout
• workout
• take 1 serving of creatine after workout
• take 1 serving of glutamine after workout
• take 2 scoops of 100 whey after workout
  (note: take these within 1hr after workout)

Evening: Eat Dinner

Late Evening:

• take 1 serving of creatine
• take 1/2 serving of N Large 2

Before bed

• take 1 serving of glutamine
• take 1/2 serving of N Large (optional)

But hopefully, this has given you a good idea on how to take these supplements together.

Note: the about schedule takes 4 to 5 servings of creatine a day, that's about 20 to 25g, which is only for a loading phase. During maintenance, I usually take creatine in the morning, and 1hr before workout, and also sometimes after workout as well.

This pretty much concludes this long 5 part beginner's guide to supplements, and hopefully, you got alot out of it! And keep up the hard work. ;-)
