Is the best way to gain weight to take your protein pre and post-workout and take Creatine right after a workout?
Protein is best after a workout. Muscles rip during exercise and the rebuilding process is what makes them stronger. That's when you need the protein. Also, protein before a workout can cause digestive issues during that workout. ______________________________________________________________________ Answer:Creatine actually causes your muscle cells to absorb more water which makes them look bigger which gives us an illusion of extra size and mass. Effectively speaking, once you cut down on your creatine intake, the muscles would start releasing the excess water and you may end up feeling your muscles shrink in size. But, one good thing about creatine is that, it helps you gain that extra strength needed to do heavy workouts. Though it only packs water into our muscles, a properly administered dosage/cycle of creatine can help you in gaining weight and strength.
SHOULD you Drink creatine before or after your workout?
Before and After...is the answer I have gotten from the majority of the trainers I have asked. I know that everyone has different opinions, but it makes sense to me. You want the creatine boost before your workout to give you an edge. And, after your workout, while your muscles are starved. I have always taken 1/2 the daily dose before, and the other 1/2 immediately after, and seen great results.
Is it ok to take nitric oxide iso protein and creatine all at the same time through out the day?
Their is no risk at all while taking these supplements until and unless you do not exceed the prescribed limit of intake. First of all their is no need to take creatine if you are using Nitric Oxide (NO) supplement, because Nitric oxide gives you the same boost as you get from CREATINE. Buts still if you wanna use all three then follow this schedule : >Nitric Oxide in an empty stomach in the morning.. >Protein after having NO .. >Creatine 45-60 min before workout . > NO again 30 min before workout.. > Protein just after your workout.. >and at last...protein as the last thing in the night!! ...Daily value of creatine should not exceed more than 5 gms per day!! FOLLOW THIS AND IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS YOU WILL SEE THE RESULTS YOURSELF... ENJOY...

Should supplements be taken before or after a workout?
after is more important then before but you can do both. you want about 1.5 grams of proten per pound of muscle. diff people say diff things about that ratio but that's a good one. you rbody can only absorb so much proten at a time though so spread it out every three hours try to eat somthing. proten befor bed is equally important as after workout as your muscles heal the most as you sleep.

That depends entirely on the contents of your pre-workout supplement. You should always check with your doctor or nutritionist before taking, changing, or combining supplements.
How much better is it to have a protein shake before a workout?
You don't exactly need a protein shake before your workout. A protein shake is best taken right after you are finished with your workout. After your workout your muscles have begun to break down and the faster you take in some protein the faster your muscles will recover. I would only recommend taking protein at other times of the day if you are not recieving the approximate amount of protein you need through your diet.
