Creatine cycles

[fitricise]

one of my friends told me to take creatine for a month then take a month off cause it stays in your system for a month. but i read somewhere to take 2 weeks off. which is best?

i took creatine for the first time last yaer for about a month, well i loaded, but loading is personal and you can load howmuch you choose to, but i took it for about about a month and gained a solid 10lbs or so. i took it for 5gs a day this summer when i lifted and it did ntohing, your body gets used to the creatine and you eventually build up a tolerance to it, so you have to intake more to get the full effect. id say take a full month off and then try, it should shock your system. im currently taking a month and half off from creatine, and ill go back on at 15gs a day for like 2 weeks or so then go offf again...good luck

Milk Thistle will clean out your system so you're starting fresh again on your next cycle. I should have taken it before I got on v12. I barely feel anything from v12, because I was on creatine 3 weeks before I started taking it.

I've cycled it four times now. Each time I've spent five days loading with 20g spread in four 5g doses through the day and then I've had four to five weeks at 5g per day spread into three doses with a meal or dextrose as a post work-out drink.

I've taken at least two weeks off between cycles.

Don't think that's true. Every time I go to the doctor, my creatine levels are elevated and always the same. I don't cycle it. No need to. Just 5 grams a day, every day.
