Creatine Dosage ?

[anthrax]

How much creatine after the loading phase (for those who still think it's useful ) ?

 

[doctasarge]

3 or 4 grams a day after work out or in morning, more may hurt you creatine transport proteins. On especially heavy training scheduales, such as 2 workouts a day and such, up to 10 grams. Also, i never a real high loading phase.

No need to load and 5g PWO is sufficient.

20-40g daily during the whole cykle....

5 grams half hour before workout & 5 grams post workout works great for me does wonders when mixed with glutimine peptides.

Why pre-WO ?

Some questions about creatine usage from someone about to begin supplementing:

1) Do you still take creatine on rest days?

2) I have been told to take a teaspoon with breakfast and a teaspoon PWO. Is the dosage with breakfast really necessary?

3) Also, how do you 'cycle' with creatine so as to ensure you do not become immune to it? - Would two weeks on, one week off be a good idea? (try to increase weights while on and maintain while off)

Thanks.

5g a day hour before my workouts, and on off days as well.

To tell you the truth I'm not so sure. j/k
A fellow lifter at the Gym (who is a huge mofo by the way and it's not ginetics) let me in on it! he said by beaking it up 5g's before and 5g's after your workout you benifit by having the creatine in your system being absorbed right exactly when you need it and post workout your body is an absorbtion machine so you know your maximizing the potential of the creatine.
Anyways makes sense to me and has been working great thus far.
