I'm thinking about going on creatine again to help with my training. The only problem i have is with the water retention. Last time i took it i gained about 15lbs pretty quickly and i became too slow and heavy although i was considerably stronger.
When i was taking it before i loaded for 4 days then took a maintance dose every day, but reading some good threads on this site im thinking of not loading and taking 1 dose(5g i think) on my training days and 1/2 dose(2.5g) on my non training days.
If i do this will it help to reduce the water build up? And also when i finish my creatine whats the best way to lose the weight? Last time i kept it for ages and i cant afford to become heavy and slow again. Not unless my strength is going up significantly.
