A few quick questions....morning workouts....

OK, I got a month before hittin the beach, had surgery on finger and ankle which screwed me up for a few weeks and I gotta get goin now! I do cardio 3x/week and weight 3x/week and I work out AN HOUR AFTER WAKING UP. Right now I do multivitamin, whey PWO and muscle milke before bed. I want to get back to mono creatine and bcaa's. How should I time the supp's ? I'm gonna load mono for the first week so should I do as soon as I wake up, immed. after workout, and then 2x during the day ? What about after the load phase, take 2x/day PWO than later afternoon or before and right after workout only? And how about the bcaa's, how should I time those and how much bcaa's (first time with them) ?

Also when I'm on vacation for a week I'm not working out at all, what should I continue taking for that week ?

6'2, 190, 37 yrs old, wanna bulk up, working out for a year now.

Thanks guys, just want to get the most efficient month I can !

I your not working out for a week dont worry about taking anything.....just give your body rest eat healthy....and dont be afraid to treat yourself once in a while......one week isnt that long of time...you should lose extrememly little...if any muscle mass...just eat

Anyway its pretty important you get something in your belly as soon as you wake up....... try getting a real breakfast in your belly...maybe some oatmeal and a whey shake......take you bcaas when you wake and post workout...creatine should do the same with.....basically make this you schedule

Wake up
Preworkout Creatine bcaas (some carbs are prolly a good idea 2)
Workout
Postworkout Creatine bcaas whey
Breakfast
snack
Lunch Creatine if loading
snack
dinner Creatine if loading
snack

thats what i would do.....doesnt really matter too much as long as you eat right
snack

Hey thanks, that's kinda what I thought I should do for that first week.
How should I space the creatine/bcaa's after the first loading week ?
Should I only do 5g creatine PWO only ??

I take 15-20 grams of BCAA's on workout days, little less on rest days. 5g creatine postworkout, on off days 5g as soon as you wake.
