I agree... I'm usually in the gym 6 days per week, but lift on a 5 day split. You need time to let your body recover/grow or you are just shooting yourself in the foot.

As long as his creatine supplement isn't laced with sugar or he is drinking it with half a gallon of grape juice than he should be fine. I cycle creatine (most say you don't have to since its nonhormonal, but I like to cycle all supplements), and am currently taking it during my cut to help maintain my strength while eating on a deficit, and taking whey during a cut is fine as well (I wouldn't recommend something like muscle milk though due to the cals and not being very filling, on top of having a crap profile). As long as his caloric intake for the day is on point then those supplements are fine. Whey is a very efficient way to up your protein intake without many cals IMO. Out of curiosity what kind of creatine are you taking?
