Supplements: Base vs Continuation

[BlackPyjamas]

Just wondering if any of you folks take specific supps for Base that you don't for Continuation and vice versa? Any that you avoid?

My regular early morning pre-W:
- BCAA (fasted workouts)
- Creatine
- Caffeine

Additionally, I do take Mg during BB. Oh, and I eat twice more carbs.

Interesting, I was thinking about this the other day....using certain supps for certain protocols.

As it stands, I cycle off creatine every Base. I don't think it helps with aerobic work. I also switch up from a magnesium supplement to a combo mag-potassium to help with electrolyte loss during the frequent long E sessions.

For continuation I get back on creatine, that's really the only change I can think of right now.

Caffeine, of course, is a constant companion year round

Makes sense, Base seems like a natural "off cycle" for the creatine. Creatine helps me with HIC, especially with explosive or speed based work but doesn't do anything for endurance or LISS that I'm aware of.
