I mean if you were hoping to have a nice cut chest and maybe viewable abs for the summer would you not recommend creatine (MONO) to be put into the stack?

Adds too much excess water weight. Current Supplements: Multi-Vitamin, Calcium, Vitamin C Current Cycle: Cross Country Season "Run to live, and live to run."

Also, it promotes the oxidization of fat during workouts. Also, it will help with maintaining your endurance when you run a lot while cutting, so yes, use it when cutting.

RollingStone, I have tried Kre-Alkalyn and it didn't do anything for me.

If I get a creatine for the summer it will be a mono micronized one. However, I am afraid of the major water retention making my pecs look more moobish then solid. Currently my pecs got a little fat on them but are looking more solid then ever and I don't want the water retention in creatine to screw that up.

But I am considering using some micro mono.

If so which ones, you guys are pretty big...I see no water retention at all.

Havn't been taking it long enough to tell you what i think of it.

I would say get some micronized monohydrate creatine. You won't be covered in a layer of water. It helps a lot with muscle growing and you will probably see some nice results with it. It has been proven that it works.

Weight: 192
Height: 6'

Bench: 190

Stack: Cell-Tech, NO-Xplode, BCAA, WHEY Protein, Omega-3 Flax Fish Oil, Animal Pak.

Well I've used creatine twice..Once Kre-Alkalyn and it didn't work, the next time I used a Pre-Load Monohydrate creatine and that didn't do much either..

Is there that big of a difference between Monohydrate and Micronized Monohydrate creatine? The both times ive used creatine I haven't seen great results, am I maybe just one of those people that don't respond to creatine? Or does creatine work for everyone and I was just not using it correctly?

Alright thanks. I am really contimplating using creatine or not, since it is summer I am afraid of that bloated bubbly muscle look. However, if that is you in your avatar and thats when you are on creatine than I guess you are using it correctly and it doesnt necessarily give you that bloated look at all.
