Before and After...is the answer I have gotten from the majority of the trainers I have asked. I know that everyone has different opinions, but it makes sense to me. You want the creatine boost before your workout to give you an edge. And, after your workout, while your muscles are starved. I have always taken 1/2 the daily dose before, and the other 1/2 immediately after, and seen great results.
Taking a protein drink after a workout is good. After a workout the body muscles will be recovering from the workout and would require a lot of protein to grow and rebuild themselves. So if you supply them with protein after a workout they would recuperate and grow well.
Any one looking to gain lean muscle tissue can take creatine. It will help gain lean muscle and increase strength.

I am going to start using size-on creatine. the directions say to sip it while u work out and in between reps. can i drink half before and half after?
You can, but you would be wasting your money. If the directions say to sip it while you work out, that's exactly what you should do. Creatine is best absorbed gradually, and as your body's need for it increases (during the workout), absorption will get better. Most capsule forms of Creatine simulate this by having a slower release; you take it before your workout, and the capsule gradually releases it into your system. If you take a lot before the workout, most of it will be wasted because your body won't have a need for it, so the excess will get flushed. If you drink a lot after your workout, it will be too late to have any effect on your workout. Creatine is a workout supplement, not a protein shake or meal choice.

Can you take 2 kre alkalyn pill before work out even it says take one pre and 1 post workout and take protein sheak after work out?
Yes, you can take 2 pill's of Kre-Alkalyn before you start you're work out but it will not bring you best results. The reason why you should drink 1 before workout and 1 after is that Kre-Alkalyn is 15 times stronger than regular creatine which means 1 pill is enough to keep the body well supplied during training and the other after training is to replenish the creatine that was used by you're body during exercise so that you creatine levels are constant after workout which will result in better muscle growth.

Yes it is bad to take caffeine with creatine. Both caffeine and creatine dehydrate you so you will get really dehydrated.
