Some may think its overrated, oh no sir!!! Not me!! I love taking it while off. It helps me retain some of that precious water that my muscles lose when I come off. I still make some of my best weight gains and strength gains from good ole creatine. Its still a staple of my off-cycle routine. Now that there are so many different esters and combinations of creatine, it makes me one happy fucking dood. Creatine is one of the first supps that I ever tried and to this day, Its still one of the best!!!!! BET!!!!!
