Creatine Ethyl Ester (Personal experience)

Well, I’m almost done with my bulking phase and let me be the first to say that one of the greatest products that’ll help you put on mass is creatine ethyl ester (CEE). I used it twice in my bulking phase, the first six weeks, and right now. On both trials, I felt an immediate pump (2 days after use) and my muscles were almost always full (even in the morning, when they’re usually flat). I did not notice much water retention during usage (creatine monohydrate usually bloats me like crazy, due to mal absorption and all the sugar I had to take with it). Again, I did not change my diet on the first run of CEE and the results were very much noticeable. I did not notice much strength gains off of it, but it sure as hell gave me an awesome pump and kept my muscles full most of the time. As you might know, I got married recently and it took me a while to get used to eating all the crap I do in front of my wife. Eventually, I built my way up from 1 meal a day to 6-7 meals. Taking in about 350 grams of protein and 300 grams of carbs just to maintain what I currently have. I went back to train (after a ten day lay off) and felt like utter shit. I started using CEE again last Thursday. Saturday felt like crap, but Sunday was amazing. I got the pump I used to get when I first used CEE, and my strength went up back to where it was before the lay off.

Dosage and timing

I usually get my pre-workout meal in at 2:30 pm. So, by 3:30 pm (when I get back home) my stomach is almost empty. I take 2.5 grams (half a teaspoon) mixed in water and head to the gym. Immediately after my workout, I take in another 2.5 grams with water and drink my post-workout shake 10 minuutes later.
On non-training days I take 2.5 grams when I wake up, and another 2.5 grams 8 hours later on an empty stomach.

The down side

I like to get the best bang for my buck. So, I buy my CEE in raw powder form. No coloring, no flavoring, nothing. It costs me about $15 for a 3 month supply. But… CEE is the worst shit I’ve ever tasted in my life!!! I get a 5 minute headache every time I take that shit in. but it’s worth it.
