creatine is no joke

[binö]

never taken it consistently.
finally been on it about 3 weeks now, fug this stuff works.
up about 8 lbs and gettin incredible pumps.
though it's mostly water weight, i feel bigger.
how long should i roll with it for?
are all creatines equal, should i look at cell-tech (always thought cell-tech was a bullshit scam cause of how the spammed the shit outta muscle mags over the yrs)?
anything more to share to a n00b?

run it for 6-8 weeks at 10 -12 grams a day

then use 5 grams a day as maintenance to get used to coming off or de training

then go off for a month or so

omega would about the brand? is all creatine equal?

 

[Gawd]

Apparently Ethyl Ester and Kre-Alkaline have the best absorption rate, but also have the highest rate of converting to creatinine.
Micronised Creatine Monohydrate is suppose to stay at like 99% creatine.

I used Creapure, my last order of it was from Primordial Performance. I get no bloat from Creapure.
I had some stupid creatine blend before that bloated me alot.

Creatine works awesome for me.

They all seem about the same to me. I strictly use the Monohydrate. I do about 8 weeks on 6 weeks off. It really does work.

For plain creatine go with any creapure monohydrate. That's the gold standard imo. If you are looking for creatine plus extras I really like Gaspari SizeOn.

Creatine plain version as Southern lord said Works well but make darn sure its PURE German or USA made brand ( actually made in thos countries)

Chinese, korean, and asian manufacturing process tend to be DIRTY and impure.

Other favs of mine are Magnsesium infused creatine and also Real Creatine Ethyl Ester

I agree that creatine REALLY DOES WORK! I was on it for my first month back at the gym and I was able to increase everything 5-10 lbs and do many more reps/sets of everything without feeling exhaused and muscle burning... Went off of it and now I feel like I cant even complete 2-3 sets of multiple excersises and the weight I can do is reduced as well honestly I started taking it again today and only took a week off.. I can't stand working out without it
