Bodybuilding.net - Bodybuilding Forum

Hello all. Just wanted to start out by saying I've enjoyed reading the forums over the last few weeks and have found out a lot of good information on here. Its my first post and I have some questions about my stack and lifting schedule. Here we go.

Im 22, 5'7", 145 lbs. During high school when I was extremely physically active with sports I was lifting and supplementing quite a bit. I was smart with it though and took bare minimums for safety at such a young age. Most just Whey Protein and some creatine monohydrate. Back then, I was around 165 lbs with about 6% body fat. I wrestled religiously and I've always had an extremely high metabolism. I don't think I've ever been over 8% body fat. Im sick at the fact that I've lost over 20 lbs of muscle in the past couple years and I want to do something about it. Im in college and have access to a phenomenal gym here on campus. Here are my questions:

I've put together a pretty solid routine for a 4 day spread. I've done a lot of reading of other posts and feel confident about my lifting routine. So I don't really have questions about that, more about supplements, when to take them, when to take them according to each other and so on.

Here is my stack:

- Pro Labs N Large 2
- ON's 100% Whey Protein
- American Sports Creatine Monohydrate
- Glutamine

Im keeping it pretty basic and the reason for the weight gainer, is Im a fairly hard gainer due to a very high metabolism. I eat (very well) constantly.

Im lifting Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Here are the questions.

1. Should the creatine be taking before or after workout? How bout the glutamine? How about on off days?

2. Which of those supplements should not be taken together and how long apart should I give for certain ones to be ingested for proper digestion and absorption?

2. The N Large 2 has lots of protein in it (like 52 grams per serving). Can I substitute this for the after workout whey protein? Or should I limit the weight gainer to morning and evening type supplement for calories? How about on off days?

I know this is a lot for a first post. Im sorry it got so long, Im just kind of excited to get back into lifting again and after reading so many promising posts, I was eager to get some answers I can be confident in. Thanks for reading!!!
