quote:
Now after your 5-7 days of loading up, you have to go on a maintenance dosage. Again, this goes by body weight - If you weigh less than 170lbs , you would take up to 5 grams/once a day , preferably right after training. If you weigh over 170lbs, you would take up to 10 grams/once a day (5 grams before you workout and 5 grams after you workout or 10 grams straight on your off day.) All servings on your off day can be taken at anytime.

the AST-SS site talk about bracketing your work out as well ( whey+creatine+glutamine before and after)

I take No-Xplode with Nitrix 45 minutes pre w/o and 6g of VNS Jacked immediately post w/o, plus 6g more 6-8 hrs later. No problems. Just started 4 week PCT and still use the above stack in addition to other supps.
Peace

How important is the loading phase? I've read people that say its not really necessary.

after a few weeks, you'll be at the same point whether you load or not. like the candy, you either reach muscle saturation now or later

I take my Cell- tech immediately after I work out. I ignore the loading phase, it hasnt helped me more or less. I think its just a scam for you to use more of it faster.

well guys i can only tell you what has happened with me and my creatine use
i started in jan and added about 1/2 an inch to my arms and then in feb i gained another 1/2 in(im at 17 and 1/2 inches now)
i dont know if this is directly related to a loading phase or not
i started the creatine around the end of jan
i think it had a little to do with my abilities to work out harder to gain that 1/2 inch in feb
however i dont really know
as far as when to take i took mine after the loadin time in 10 grams and 5 grams in a shake made with water
i think after so that you replenish glycogen and creatine stores
anything more i think you just piss your money away
this me tho

I do believe in loading-it loads the muscles full and then you take advantage rapidly with strength and size. Now I am not sure whether I am in the majority or minority bu I get great reaction from creatine-more than anything else legal. So I am biased.
I load one week with 20g per day. Then maintenance with 5g right after am cardio or isolated workout. Then I take another 5g right after lifting in the evening. Keep this up for anywhere from 4-5 weeks and then off.

I would like to see how many peopel here have had real gains from creatine use. I am considering it, but I hear so many stories that say it is a waste. I realize that supplements work on people differently, but there seems to be an even number of success and failure stories with creatine. I wonder if we could get a poll together to see what the group here on DB feels about it as a whole.

Just bought a creatine product and am considering whether or not i want to return it. Its in a liquid form and on its directions your suppose to take only on work out days, right before your workout. Also you fill a dropper up and place under your tongue 5 times for a serving. What do you guys think? do you guys know anything about this type of creatine product? its called creatine elixir. it says you don't need a loading phase.

dude return it
it is not good
creatine in liquid is a joke
it turns to creatinine in the bottle
then when you take it the body can not use it
it is essentially taking a waste product bc creatinine is what the body turns creatine into
dude just take it back, and buy a creatine monohydrate powder that has 5 to 10 grams or creatine per serving
and sometimes you can get a creatine mix with extras in it (not fillers) but the simple sugar dextrose and other things like taurine

Any supps I take other than "natural" vitamins, I cycle 2 months on 1 month off regardless.
