youll die

I've been drinking creatininis for a month now and I've been dead for a year

Don't listen to these trolls. Creatine won't give you superhuman strength or anything. At most it'll give you a few extra reps. It may not be much but in the long run it'll add up.

I take around 3-5 mg per day.

BUT if you are prone to balding it'll speed it up. Unless it's in your genes you have nothing to worry about

It isn't something you cycle, but something you saturate your muscles with and then consuming whatever 3-5g each day will maintain their saturated state. Some people load on creatine, where they'll do like 10g in the morning and 10g at night for a week, which could possibly make you nauseous but otherwise one way to do it. Creatine loading saturates your muscles more quickly. You can take it whenever when you're doing the normal 3-5g, it doesn't matter because it's a constant state of saturation either way. It'll make you more thirsty. It isn't a miracle drug. It'll make your muscles ballpark look 5% bigger once fully saturated.

If you're looking to gain an edge and potentially train harder, there's nothing wrong with taking creatine. Normally you get about half of the creatine you need through your diet (especially if you eat meat, which you should because other nutrients) and the other half is synthesized in the liver and kidneys. Creatine works by (once in the muscle) providing a quick way to regenerate the energy for muscle movement as phosphorylcreatine (PCr). Having more PCr in your muscles allows for quicker energy recovery in short term (i.e. <10-30 seconds) bouts of work, thus you should theoretically be able to perform more work in the same amount of time. One of the major drawbacks of creatine supplementation is that it holds a lot of water with it causing a tremendous amount of weight gain. General dosing is a "loading" phase of ~15-20g/day for 4 days to saturate the muscles with a maintenance dosing of 3-5g/day indefinitely following the loading.

TL;DR - creatine may help you lift more weight getting you more gainzzzzz, but with the side effect of water weight.

Lol nothing wrong. It's one of the proven supps. It's naturally found in red meat.

Why are all fitness people on youtube exactly like MLG kids

My creatine levels are at the upper level. I think they measure up 120 and mine was 110.

Need it or nah?

>>36757898
Where do people in the UK get their creatine?

>>36758594
Agree with everything you said, but I didn't seem to gain much water weight when I was taking creatine. Does that just vary between people?

How much water do you drink?

If you're over 170 lbs, take 5 in the AM and then another 5 right after workout.

I just toss some in water in the morning, and put 5 in my protein powder that I drink after workout.

>>36759884
This is fine for loading, but once you're saturated, excess creatine is just a waste.

You want 0.3 g/kg/day when loading, and 0.03g/kg/day afterwards.

Once the loading phase is over, you just need enough to maintain your levels.

Also I should add the bodyweight amounts there are lean mass.

ie 100 kg person with 20% bodyfat needs 24g/day for loading and 2.4g/day for maintenance.
