    Nothing different then when cutting or maintaining. Creatine

    Monohydrate?

    I've been using CTD Kre-Akalyn for about a year.

    Yeah, I just use mono. Anything else, you're basically just overpaying for. Even the once super hyped ethyl ester ended up being less efficacious than mono.

    I also tend to keep arimistane in me, just to keep the carb bloat in check. I drink enough that dehydration is of no concern, and the arimit keeps the subcutaneous water under control.

    I use my protein unflavoured whey, normally just 1xscoop per day. It's cheaper than chicken per gram of protein and on par with the price of baked beans and eggs.

    I only use whey, and that is even on a cut. Once I stop seeing gains in my primary lifts, than I plan on considering creatine monohydrate again (last time, I had severe stomach issues). And I may consider some glusamine for joint health, but I haven't gone down that path yet.

    Whey protein most days (I don't really need it but I like it), plus daily prenatal vitamin, vitamin D, and DHA.

    I am starting to think that I am one of the only people who uses a 50/50 blend of whey and casein.

    I use whey during the day and then if I need extra protein I will have casein in either shake or pancake form (with egg whites).

    OP I don't use any other supplements except for a multivitamin and Vitamin C.

    Ah yeah, forgot the vitamins C & D and magnesium. When I think supps, vitamins rarely come to mind, as they've just always been part of what I do.

    I use a whey/casein/egg protein mix (Trutein). That and creatine is all I take.

    I've heard good things about their stuff in sludge threads. Might have to give it a go one day.
