5am woke
5:15am Protein shake followed by (here I get confused) I took 1 serving (1scoop) of cell-tech creatine (it sais for loading stage take 1 serving 2scoops when you wake and when you workout, which would be right after one another) SO, should (during this loading stage) take the full dose of cell-tech or break it up like I did and then 12hrs later just take a full dose? Then take Hot-Rox.

It's debatable, but I personally believe you don't need to load creatine. Whether you decide to load or not, after a certain timeframe, your body will have stored the creatine to its capacity. Maybe loading will speed up the process a few days early, but it's quite a blow to your wallet. Especially with Cell Tech! Just take 2 scoops (10 grams) immediately postworkout. Wait 10-15 mintutes, than take your protein.
Hot Rox I'm not too familiar with, but it says to take on an empty stomach prior to breakfast and again six hours later. After you ingest your protein postworkout, I always like to have my first postworkout meal about an hour after I lift. So it makes sense to me to take the hot rox before that meal. However, I'd take a lesser dosage to measure your tolerancy during this period because after working out, your metabolism is rocking.
