The supplement I'm taking, Blitz Cycle has a little bit of Creatine ethel ester HCL in it. I was taking straight monohyrdate several months ago and was loving the results, but when I cycled off...well I stayed off and then moved to protiens and amino acids and started on BC. I think my results will be more permanant now as with less creatine its much less water weight.

5 lbs in a week, without even loading. Im impressed, even if it is water. I am on Phosphagen by EAS. Pretty much 99% creatine monohydrate.
Thanks for the advice.

haha, no need to load man, the loading phase is just a little trick for the companys to sell more products becuase you finish em up faster. its been proven the loading phase doenst help the slightest bit.

Yea, a buddy of mine did creatine about the same time I did. He started with about 15 grams a day and I was only doing 5.7 and the results seemed the same to us - besides a large amount of creatine is bad for yor kidneys if you don't drink a lot of water

Hey guys. I reduced my dosage of creatine, because I thought that maybe after 2 weeks I had pretty much finished loading the muscles. I am now taking in less than 3 grams on non lifting days and 6 grams on lifting days. Since then, I have felt weaker and lost 2 pounds. Is it from the creatine? I would think 3 grams would be enough.
I initially gained about 5 pounds the first 2 weeks.

No.
But if you don't workout and you have excess calories becuase your BMI or metabolism has slowed, that will make you gain weight.
Creatine will probably add some water weight to you but not fat.

when you stop using creatine will your water weight go back down to normal?
do you always have to use creatine to stay big?
once you go off creatine will you go back down to your normal size?

ok this is based on my personal experience on creatine for about 1 month.
1.I did infact gain weight (fat) i would say about 50% of the weight i gained was water bc i lost in very quickly but the other was fat. No sure why or how if it was the creatine or something that the creatine did all im saying is i got fat when i was on creatine.
2.my water weight did go back to normal
3.When i used creatine i noticed my muscles grew in size but not muscle meaning they were filled with water. After i got off of it i noticed a lost in muscle size but a gain in hardness.
Like i said this is based on my experience on creatine i did not like it and would not recommend it.
