I've been on my 2nd cycle of creatine now for about 2 months. The biggest thing that I've noticed is that I am MUCH faster in running for quick bursts. I raced a guy who ran a 4.3 40 and beat him 2 of 3 times. Before creatine I was just considered quick by most standards.

Cycling creatine....most research suggest that there are no inmediate benefits for cycling creatine.. it does not down regulate its body receptors. What are the pinciples behing your cycling?

Almost every article I've found and every person I've talked to about it says that you shouldn't take creatine for any longer than 3 months with an average of 3 week break period.

Who cares what people just say? Look for some research! Fuck word of mouth. Did you read the articles I posted? One of them addresses that issue.

Thank you. That was some good info. It really clears up some misconceptions about creatine.

I came accross the other day with 4 year old magazine talking about how creatine phosphate was going to be the next big thing.

Now, it appear this was not the case, nonetheless, does any body has some info on this?


Thanks

There was a lot of hype, saying it was going to add tons of mass quickly. This was just so supplement companies could leech tons of money off the masses. Once it wasn't the miracle everyone believed it to be, the hype died down. Real research was done.

Now we know the truth. It will give you an edge in adding mass.

Never drink creatine with fruit juice, it causes the creatine to form creatinine. Creatinine will cause kidney stress and even damage, maybe that is why you feel sick after. Check this out it is really important. Either drink creatine alone or mix with protein powder but no fruit juice--no kidding.
