I just mix it with a small quality of water and stick it in my gums, try to get it down quickly as possible.

Book of the Void

What is called the spirit of the void is where there is nothing. It is not included in man's knowledge. Of course the void is nothingness. By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist. That is the void.

People in this world look at things mistakenly, and think that what they do not understand must be the void. This is not the true void. It is bewilderment.

In the Way of strategy, also, those who study as warriors think that whatever they cannot understand in their craft is the void. This is not the true void.

To attain the Way of strategy as a warrior you must study fully other martial arts and not deviate even a little from the Way of the warrior. With your spirit settled, accumulate practice day by day, and hour by hour. Polish the twofold spirit heart and mind, and sharpen the twofold gaze perception and sight. When your spirit is not in the least clouded, when the clouds of bewilderment clear away, there is the true void.

Until you realise the true Way, whether in Buddhism or in common sense, you may think that things are correct and in order. However, if we look at things objectively, from the viewpoint of laws of the world, we see various doctrines departing from the true Way. Know well this spirit, and with forthrightness as the foundation and the true spirit as the Way. Enact strategy broadly, correctly and openly.

Then you will come to think of things in a wide sense and, taking the void as the Way, you will see the Way as void.

In the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom has existence, principle has existence, the Way has existence, spirit is nothingness.

Creatine uptake is enhanced when taken with an insulin spike. Simple sugars like kool-aid and such spike your insulin, so that's why it's recommended, and that's why some creatine "delivery systems" come premixed with simple sugars.

However, our advice here at ABC is to simply take your creatine with your Post Workout Shake, which is designed to spike your insulin and take advantage of the critical window after training. Since the PWO Shake already has sugars added to it, there's no need to add anything to your creatine.

So you can either spoon it in your mouth and wash it down with your PWO shake. Or you can mix it in a small amount of water, stir, then down it like a shot. Either way is fine.

And if you haven't read up on the PWO Shake protocol, read here:

Does anyone here actually get great results from Creatine. I used it and didn't notice anything except for gaining water weight.
I didn't notice any extra strength

what kind of creatine did you use, Wen? if you used the serum (liquid) that would be why it didn't work. did you use powder or liquid creatine?
