Glutamine Creatine Stack Schedule

Morning:

• 10 grams of glutamine (2 heaping teaspoons) dissolved in 16 oz of water. You can add a bit of sodium to enhance cell uptake.

Lunch:

• 5 grams of creatine (1 teaspoon). NOTE: I’m actually using 1 serving of Creatine Xplosion (one of my favorite creatine supplements) with 16 oz of water—it already contains the simple carbs and sodium to promote uptake. You can use your own favorite creatine formula.

Pre-Workout:

• 10 grams of glutamine, 16 oz of water and sodium.

Post-Workout

• 10 grams of glutamine in post-workout carb drink.

30 Minutes Later

• 5 grams of creatine or 1 serving Creatine.

Bed Time

• 10 grams of glutamine in 16 oz of water.

As you can tell, I like glutamine in higher than average doses for optimum results. Again, this stack is used on training days only. On non-training days, when recovery is the key, I try to get in 5-10 grams of creatine and the same amount of glutamine.

In my opinion, this is one of the best "cell-volumizing" stacks you can use.

Specific Glutamine Recommendation

Glutamine comes in a simple powdered form and is basically tasteless. You can add a serving to water, juice, Gatorade, protein powder . . . pretty much anything you like.

When selecting a glutamine powder, it's important to stick with a reputable brand name. A lot of the discount and generic powders out there are simply not pure glutamine. They're loaded with cheap fillers that can cause you to feel bloated. And you just won't get the results you want with these knock-offs.
