I am trying mikeynov's "Dual Factor HST" variant during a cutting cycle and the lack of any real fatigue management (e.g., clustering, triples, max-stim) is killing me - I just can't recovery from the sets quickly. This is not entirely new for me and I am constantly amazed at recommendations to take 30-60 seconds between sets -- I just can't do it that quickly. Some possibilities:
(1) I'm just gettin' old (47)
(2) Being on a cut is lowering my energy.
(3) I need to look at creatine supplementation.
My question concerns the last possibility. As a strict vegetarian, I get no creatine in my diet. I am aware of the benefits and have been thinking I would eventually supplement -- just a little inertia getting to it. I am wondering if the creatine would significantly aid my recovery times. I am in good shape for longer distance aerobic work, it is just the short bursts of energy that seem to get to me. I believe that this is right up creatine's alley, so to speak.
Based upon the considerable experience with creatine on this board, do you guys think that this would be a significant help?
