ok ive searched already and seen lots of threads on creatine, the search buttong wouldnt bring up all specific ones over it, i think it might have overloaded it lol.
but 1) ive heard before that after taking creatine for some time, when you go off of it lets say, for an extended period of time your muscles "deflate" a bit and get a little smaller because they lose something? this true?
2) also, with the water retention, does it tend to bloat you the whole time your taking it? and why if it has water retention properties is it so good for cutting people say? doesnt it make you have less of a rock hard look and more of a soft body look with muscles?
thank you for taking the time to answer in advance.
I took creatine for 1 month just to see what it was like(and because it cost 140euros for 1 month so i cant afford to maintain that!).Anyway, I gained 7 pounds and according to my bf calculating weighing scales(which isnt that accurate to be honest but gives a rough estimate) I dropped a little bf.I could also notice some development in my muscles and went up in weights i could lift.I didnt look bloated at all.However once i stopped using it I lost about 4 pounds of the weight i put on in a couple of weeks, but my muscles werent smaller than when i started it and certainly werent "softer".Experienced no bad side effects either.
creatine causes your muscles to retain more water, when you stop taking creatine you will lose this additional water weight. So your muscles do sort of "deflate" to a degree.
As for the bloat some creatine causes more bloat than others i believe CEE causes alot less than monohydrate
Celtic Bhoy is your creatine cut with coke becuase i get a kg for about 30euros which lasts me half a year
creatine will not directly cause you to lose body fat

Nope(I didnt see it on the ingredients list ), its called creatamax 8000 or something.E72.50 for 800 grams.The instructions said you have a loading phase of 5 days were you take 35gram servings 4 or 5 times a day, then cut down to 35 grams twice a day.How do ya make a kg last 6 months?that averages about 5 grams a day.There was cheaper stuff, but there was no dextrose in em and besides they werent even that cheap(30euro for 6 months)

i wouldnt go any where near any maximuscle products they are ridculously over priced. Just buy monohydrate and dextrose in bulk and mix them up your self. throw in a bit of taurine and maybe some L-Arginine and you'l see great results for half the price of maximuscle
