REDuction + GreenMAG Log

[kimlin85]

No taking GM later in the day will not have adverse effects. It is designed to be used around workouts though. I already see you are doing half pre, half post, which was my first thought for you.

Maybe you could try taking it earlier in the day (depending on your schedule). That way you'll have the creatine in your system when you workout, yet when you workout it will be later enough that it doesn't upset your stomach. what time do you usually go to the gym?

i wake up at 5am, start lifting at 6am. i start drinking it 30 min before i start lifting. i highly prefer to lift first thing in the morning before work.

how about drinking it when i get to my desk around 8am? thats only about 1 hr and 15 min after lifting.

thanks for the advice. i'll give it a shot.

cool. Perhaps the combination of the AM REDuction and GM so early in the morning wasn't sitting right. Give it a shot and see if it works, if not you know it's something else in the equation.

You could also try splitting up your AM dose? 1 first thing; 1 when you get to the office?
