Pre/Post
After all you guys help I think I am getting a little closer to getting this down. I don't know a lot about this, and totally not enough to be mixing anything on my own. So Here is what I did today, please let me know if it's ok, OR what I should have done,
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.
5:45am- eat a banana or a half a tuna sandwich
6-6:15am arrive at gym
7-15am home, down a protein shake, then my 1 scoop of creatine, the get ready for work. Breakfast will be either hard boiled eggs, or a tuna sandwich, or a chicken breast, something like that.
I got the diet somewhat down and the workout, I am doing the full body you guys recommended in another post. This supplement thing I am trying to grasp. As I said I'm pretty stupid at this so simplicity will definately benefit me.
Thanks in advance!

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.

Thanks, yeah after this jug of cell tech I am looking for a more affordable one. Been recommended CEE. That a good one?
Also, "Just take 2 scoops (10 grams) immediately postworkout. Wait 10-15 mintutes, than take your protein." Today I took 1 scoop of protein before my workout then immediately after I took 1 scoop of creatine. I did the exact same thing right when I got home from the gym, about 15min ago. That ok if your stomach can take it?
Now going to have a tuna salad sandwich and then eat every 2.5-3hrs.
Think I'll do pretty good if I can get this morning supp. system down, thanks again!

Personally, if it were me i would eat the whole food/meal (tuna sandwich) an hour out from working out and the protein/5g creatine right before working out. When i come home i have another 2 scoops whey and 5g creatine. (I use some creatine monohydrate that i have from a LONG time ago. When i run out im going to get some CEE). And havent you been taking cell-tech for a while now? If so, your probably already loaded. So you only need to take around 10g daily. And like i said, i like to split it up before/after my workout just because i feel thats how it works best for me. On non workout days, take 5-10g whenever.
And about the CEE, thats not a brand of creatine like cell mass, cell tech, ect... Rather its a type named after how its made. Its creatine with an ester-ethyl attached.
