Returning to the gym
Would like some advice on my routine.
I am going start back at the gym tomorrow for the first time in 10 years.
I am fairly slim but athletic although I am starting to get the start of a belly! I would like to loose this (obviously) and increase my muscle mass and tone dramatically. I have bought Promax and Creatamax extreme, and will be training 3 times a week between 7-8am.
It is always mentioned that you should eat breakfast, and that you should eat 1 hour before training and also take Promax before training.
My question is, can I take Promax before training as a breakfast substitute, or should I take this and have breakfast? And how close to training should I take it/ have breakfast? I don’t really want to get up an hour before training just to eat!! Then wait around for an hour.
Also I recommends I take two scoops a day, should these be directly before and after training?
One last question. Should I take the Creatamax extreme before training with breakfast (and Promax) or directly after training or both?
Thanks in advance.

Ok there’s lot questions here so I’ll answer them as clearly as I can.
1) Why didn’t you buy Cyclone (it combines the same levels of protein and almost the same levels of Creatine as both of your products put together) and would have been a cheaper method?
2)It’s true that it is good to eat about an hour before, but you can eat just before you go or substitute Promax as a breakfast option, providing you eat something after training with lots of carbs to keep you going the rest of the day
3)Promax should be taken about 20-30 mins before a training session, I think Creatamax is about 15-20 mins before if i can remember rightly
4) and the best way to take both of these products is 1 scoop before and 1 scoop directly after

Thanks Ross, I looked at Cyclone, at the time it seemed expensive for the amount you got and a lot of reviews said it was good but expensive. I’ll try it when I run out of the other stuff.
One more question I was reading on the absolute Creatine site that there is no evidence that Creatine has any effect if you take it on non-training days, but on the tub it says you should take 2 scoops everyday, which is right? (I don’t want to take more than I have to as its expensive!!)
