creatine off-days

Doublebase · 11-20-2005, 12:13 PM

Do you take your creatine on your off days? How many times a day do you take it and when? I could probably search this but I'm watching the Eagles and I'm lazy.

No, i use 5g of CEE 1 hour before training.

Doublebase · 11-20-2005, 12:48 PM

Why don't you use it on your off-days?

musclepump · 11-20-2005, 02:05 PM

I do when I remember to take it

**Dale Mabry** · 11-20-2005, 02:07 PM

You need to keep creatine in your system that's why you are supposed to go through a one week loading phase when you first start taking it. So take it everyday 2 times a day and time the second dose so it is right AFTER your workout not right before it.

a loading phase is not necessary, but yes you should take it everyday.

Correct

Loading = Not necessary in my opinion it's a just a waste of creatine when you overload your body with it.
