Of course creatine works...I have used it may times both before I started juice and between cycles and I get good results (at least good from a supp standpoint) Creatine is one of the best legal supps out there IMO along with L-Glutamine, E/C/A, Multi-Vitamins

Creatine will make you stronger, it adds water retention which increases strength. Start with 25grams for the first 1-1 1/2 weeks then 10 grams for maintanance (sp?)

Good to hear you are feeling better buddy...I wish you the best and I know you will be 100% in no time.

Just make sure you take the creatine with a good source of simple carbs to get the insulin release, otherwise you'll never absorb it, I buy the powdered gatorade and throw in 1 - 1 1/2 scoops with it, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the premixed stuff the supplement companies want to sell you
I used it a couple times when it first came out. I got the 5lb standard water bloat but didnt notice any other benefit.
I just got some free from mass q with my order or triple threat, and being one to not waste free supps I will use it and see how it goes.

the owner of a gym I know who is against steroids told me that only top level athletes really need creatine

It definitely seems to help me do another rep or two on my sets. From what I've read, it only stays in your bloodstream for about 45 minutes, so I only take it right before training.
All this stuff about a "loading phase" and taking it three times a day, etc., I think is just nonsense to get people to use it up faster so they have to buy more.

Sounds to me like your water intake was to low, that is what caused the cramps

The "loading phase" for creatine is probably a marketing ploy by supplement companies to use more of their products as someone stated. I believe I read that it takes no more than using 5g a day for 3 or so days before muscle cells become saturated with the compound. In my own case I usually forgot to take all the doses during a day in my loading phase and still ended up with the same results when compared to the time I loaded according to the packaging reccomendations.

my good friend who got a ExFit degree thinks loading is a waste. Says you just piss it out.
