This is completely unrelated, but has BSN reworked some of their formulas to be better? Saw something about this on a webpage and asked one of my buddies and he said it was so, any truth to this? |
I'd get off the creatine for 8 weeks..why?
You are using it mentally as a crutch to keep strength and you can keep strength and build more by focusing on the details of your diet.
Investigate some better carb sources for energy that will make a difference not only in your workouts, but perhaps body composition.
Use oats instead of granola, eat brown rice and potatoes and beans instead of bars.
I agree with Herc....Too much sugar in the drinks in my opinion - it can take your energy (and moods) up and down too much through the day.
At 10% and being 6'4" - you've got a good frame to pack on some muscle and bulk naturally.
And don't worry about keeping up with the guy next to you...you are quite tall and the same weight on an exercise will not work for you as the guy that is 6' or under.
