Problem with creatine loading

[dr0832]

Being the idiot I am I bought a cheap 500g container of micronized creatine and it didn't come with a scoop. I read the label very quickly and I thought it said the dose was a tablespoon, when in fact it turns out it was a a teasppoon. I stared loading 4 tablespoons a day for 2.5 days which is something like over 100g in 2.5 days. I realize I wasted a bunch of money, but now I am not sure if I need to continue loading at the correct amount of 1 teaspoon or are my muscles already way over saturated and I should just take 5g a day for 6-8 weeks?

Good god! 5 grams a day sounds like a plan. Even without loading your muscles will saturate taking 5g consistently a day. To be safe maybe try 10 grams for the next few days then 5 per day for the rest of your weeks as maintenance.

hmmm I cant agree with you all.
I did a creatine+ala cycle a couple of months ago, 25-30grams a day divided into 4 servings I gained a total of 9 pounds in as little as a month, 2 pounds of that was water. Ive kept all of it and added a couple of pounds to it.
