LOL
gropo, this seems to be an issue we constatly dissagree on
I`ve taken the below quote from The Ministry of Fitness, though have seen it a few times..........where I`m coming from directly relates to the amount of creatine you take. From memory, you recommended no more than 5g ( I`ve got an alcohol affected memory though, so correct me if I`m wrong
)
When I am saying I take 10g ( it`s me, not recommending everyone does ) I think it`s best to take it half and half, befoe and after. If you take just 5g a day, I agree 100% after is the ONLY time to do so.
Anyway, any further comment welcome, I`m not trying to start a fight here, just to gain some more knowledge.
When Is The Best Time to Take Creatine?
For best results, on training days, take creatine after your workout. It will not make you nauseous and is best taken at this time in order to replenish lost stores. If you wish to take more on a training day ( i.e 10 grams ),then take half pre-workout and remaining half post-workout.
How much should I take? Recommended dosages are as follows:
Less than or equal to 140lbs = 5-6grams per day is maintenance
*141lbs to 168lbs = 6-7.5 grams per day is maintenance
*169lbs to 199lbs = 8 grams per day is maintenance
*200lbs to 242lbs = 8-10 grams per day is maintenance
*242lb+ = 10-12 grams per day
