Reply With QuoteThere are differing opinions on whether to load ...it's been discussed here before so try a search to see what people think. Peronally I don't load.....just take 1 tsp. (4-5 grams) once per day...post workout works best IMO. Take it with your shake...ideally carbs and protein.

I load but it's just for fun cause I like the water weight
but you don't need to.Spliting the doses is fine;I usually split them and it works just fine.

Loading results in optimum performance. Saturating your muscles over a period of a week and maintaining after that.
I started taking it before workout(5g) and noticed a huge difference in performance. Post workout I take 2.5g. It really all depends on the person. Experiment.
