Faster absorption.

Your OVERALL diet should have about 30%+- fats from good sources to support ONGOING hormone production.  It better already be in the system by the time you train buddy.  Cause if you take high fat post workout...it still has to be processed to convert it to the forms that can then be converted to hormone precursors.

The science shows that the pre/post workout nutrition above is the most anabolic that we know of.  Should someone show that the addition of fats in the post workout improves it further...then I will rave about that.  However, to my knowledge, nobody has shown that.  I keep looking.

Hey Dan, currently I'm leaning up and losing bodyfat, yet attempting to maintain if not add more lean mass. 

I may not have given you enough info, but even though I'm leaning... do I still want to add the creatine?  Or is the whey by itself pre and post workout better for leaning?

Creatine while leaning...YES!

If you are preparing for a photo shoot or need to make a weight...you need to give yourself 6 weeks for the Creatine to clear the system and be totally shredded from an intra muscular water standpoint.

Hey Dan,
   
    Does the same creatine/protein/carb formula apply for offday? 
Meaning... do I continue to use the creatine on the off days?  Or do
I skip the creatine and keep the rest of the diet the same?

WE were discussing pre and post workout nutrition.

By definition you do not train on an off day....therefore this is not specific to nutrition on off days.

That said!

Creatine is systemic.  Meaning Your ability to benefit from creatine is based on the maximum amount of creatine that the body accepts to store in the system...NOT on what you supplement with.  It is related only in an indirect fashion. 

Supplementation increases the maximum amount accepted to be stored in the system, gradually over time.
If you stop Creatine supplementation you gradually lower the maximum amount accepted.
If you alter Creatine supplementation, say to every training day only, you alter the maximum amount accepted in a downward direction.

There is a maximum amount above which supplementation will not raise the amount stored in the system.
Meaning "more is not better" above the maximum amount to maintain optimal creatine stores.

The actual optimal supplementation scheme is slightly different from person to person, but it is sufficient to say that you should strive to take it at least 5-6 days a week.

OK? Smile

Hey Dan, I weigh 186 lbs, and I want to incorporate the pre and post workout eating habits you suggested, so should I be taking 5 grams of creatine pre and post workout, is 10 grams a day too much?  Also I was curious what would be good sources for pre and post workout carbs?  Reading this thread through gave me so many questions.  I was thinking I could start taking half a ON Pro Complex shake pre  and the other half post workout but it is a complex protein, is it important that it be a 100% whey?  Do you think you could lay out a sample pre and post workout meals?  Thanks for all the help.

You do the math.

Here is what they did for these results:
30 minutes before and immediatly after training they consumed a supplement equal to:
Whey Protein 0.18 grams per pound of bodyweight
Carbohydrate 0.2 grams per pound of bodyweight
Creatine Monohydrate at about .03 grams per pound of bodyweight (about 1/4 teaspoon per 40 pounds)

That is 57 grams of product, not 57 grams of creatine.  There are some 6 grams of creatine in there.  My opinion of the supplement in question, though not asked, is that it is overpriced and hyped.  You would be better served and pay far less to take the creatine as a straight Creatine Monohydrate. 

If you want to take L-Arganine as well, then you can also find that and take it before bed so as not to conflict with any anabolic effects of training (which it will if taken before, during or after training.)  The amount in the product is not enough (1/4) to make up the recommended dosage.

If you want the taurine, again you would be better getting it singly and taking it.  Though your pre and post workout nutrition should cover the taurine intake.
