HST SD period

[milo34]

Hi

I will be starting a Hypertrophy-Specific-Training (HST) cycle in a but less than two weeks. My question is should I continue to take creatine in the SD period or not- I'm seeing good gains from it and don't know if I should go off it and then reload as I start the HST workouts.

Thanks

I wouldn't take it during the long rest period. Just wait until you start. Also, its been shown that you don't have to "load" the creatine at the beginning, just take the regular dosage. Of course that's up to you though.

ok, thanks Toozee

I thought loading was not essential but brings quicker results? Oh well

Well....what I've read is loading Maxes out the amount of creatine in your system quicker......but it will get maxed out over a little longer time with regular dosages anyway.

So really there's nothing wrong with it, but I find not loading saves me some money...lol.
