Reply With Quoteare you taking creatine ethyl ester? are you taking creatine monohydrate? tricreatine malate? Im gonna go out on a limb and say you are taking CM. Creatine stores more water in muscle cells, which could possibly increase protein synthesis, it also, like you said, gives your muscles a greater ability to "recharge" their ATP (energy).

creatine
hi people, been taking creatine capsules by maximuscle for a week and a half now, noticed better performance at the gym, however, does creatine pack on muscle as well or is it souley energy (like glycogen) for the muscles so you can work them more, thus potentially get bigger? thanks for reading.

I personally use CEE, its cheap, and doesnt need to be taken with dextrose. Granted, I use dextrose in my post workout amino shake (amino being seperate amino acids, CEE, glutamine, taurine, etc...) because it is cheap and effective. CM gave me crazy bloat, so, I tried out the CEE, and I like it! If there is any real specific info you'd like to know, post away, cuz right now, I need to finish my spanish project, lol...
