[PreMier]

just take 5g post w/o

you can take it with whatever.. i used to take mine with grape juice

 

[danny81]

alirght thanks bro. no loading phase?

I would say to go ahead and give the loading phase a try.
It all depends on how it makes you feel. I have read that you are supposed to start with a loading phase and then go into 5grams per day for maintenance, but the loading made me feel bloated and heavy.
So go ahead and load up.

do u guys cycle creatine or not?

 

[PreMier]

loading only wastes the creatine, its water solubale, and anything you cant use you will piss out. no loading no cycling, just take 5g ed.

this could have been answered by a simple search btw..

 

[MCarty18]

haha I'm a fool.
I defer to you PreMier.
Your knowledge far exceeds mine.

yo premier i did the research and got confused dat sticky says take 5 grams a day. and then it says take it pre and post workout. so should i tke 2.5 grams pre and 2.5grams post?

If your lifting for strenght use 5 mg before your work out if your looking to add size do 2.5 before an 2.5 after. I would do 5 before work out an 5 after.
Most people use 10 g a day.

 

[danny81]

im looking for both so should i do 5g after and 5g before?

 

[danny81]

so 5g before with water and 5g after mixed in with my protein shake?

5 grams post work-out with your protein shake is sufficient.

I would say just mix it in your shake. I heard grapejuice speeds up the transport to your muscles, but I don't think you will notice much of a difference. For ease, just mix it with your shake.

I found that I noticed it most after about 4 days in, so give it time.
