Best way to take creatine?

[biteme]

WHo knows much about this? My friend says you need to cycle it because you're receptor sites will not respond to the creatine if you stay on too long. Anyone know? Creatine is the only natural substance that I found to add muscle. Besides food of course.

hmm maybe snorting it

I usually have a very keen sense for sarcasm, but I still need you to confirm the fact that you're joking...

injected directly into the neck

get the capsuls, and take them like supositories

don't load it, just take 5g before you lift and another 5g with your post workout shake and thats it, no need to cycle it either.

yup, that loading crap is bs...its just the company trying to get u to use the product faster.

what about cycling?

ive heard from some pretty reputable sources that you can hit basically a month on/month off and you should still be good to go

that makes no sense to me though, because if your body can store enough for a month, then i don't see how it wouldn't need to build up a supply when you first start taking it instead of just working right away

also i think 10g/day is considered a pretty large dose... i was under the impression that you're looking more around the 7-8g range... not that that really sounds like too big a difference

o-ring injections work best for me

you dont need to cycle it

run the creatine ethyl ester - you can get the powder cheap and its more effective than monohydrate. You also take a lot less.

What I find funny is that I'm hard pressed to find witty responses on threads. here everyone wants to be a comedian...

I don't believe in the loading phase. I think that's just marketing BS Since creating is trated as an amino acid , it makes no sense to cycle it either.

Here, I've been taking creatine all wrong all this time. I get the liquid and rub it in......no wonder it doesn't work very well. I don't know about snorting it. I tried Coke once, but the carbination killed me. Pepsi was better.

Now that that's out of my system -

With everything that I've read, CEE is the best, better than monohydrate. It is treated as an amino acid, so there should be no need to cycle it. The loading phase is crap. The reason most creatines want you to load is the low absorption rate and they want you to try to "super-saturate" your muscles......and spend more money. Neither of which we need to do with CEE.
