I am thinking about running some creatine. I have in the past where I used regular mono then last year I ran Ethel-Ester which taste like battery acid. I am debating if I should just pick up some 99.9% pure mono considering it is cheap…$35 for 400 serivngs or if I should try one of the new blends like Cell-Tech, or Size-On. The thing is those are like $40 for like 30-40 servings, which is like $1.00/serving vs $0.09/serving for mono. Just wanted to get some thoughts and see if anyone knows of a creatine blend that is decenlty priced (per serving). ---

That’s like 8.2 cents a serving, whereas the GNC one is 12.5 cents a serving. Big savings over the long run. ---

The price is somewhat close…but what I like about the ON is that it is “99.9% pure Creapure™ brand Creatine Monohydrate”…not sure if the GNC brand is. ---

Anyone have any experience with shoulder injury? It feel like someone is taking a pry bar and is trying to pry my collar bone out of my body by using the shoulder as a leverage point. Does this sound like a separated or separating shoulder? I can do all types of exercises (raises, presses) for the shoulder without any pain. If I do a seated row the pain is very intense. I cannot bench press without pain either. I’ve cut back to mostly pushups and dumbbells for the the chest until I can rehab the shoulder. ---

I think that in the coming weeks I will focus more on the muscles that stabilize the shoulder, shoulder girdle, upper back, traps, etc. I already feel some improvement since I’ve stopped benching, seated rows, and pull downs. If I can’t get it to feel as good as new, I might have to go see the doc. The weird thing is that the area around the bone that sticks up on the shoulder is kind of sensitive to the touch on both sides, but it is the left should that gives me the pain. ---

It is a formula of creatine that offets the effects of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which will help your muscles absorb the creatine and help with muscle cell repair. That is what they use for their main selling point. They actually take shots at mono and ethyl products. From what I read it seems to work very well from the reviews I read. I was talking to a buddy and he recommended GNC’s 189 which is very similar to Creakic but the cost per serving is about 1/2 the price. ---
