Sorry to post another creatine thread, but this question unique in manner.

I started taking creatine just over 2 weeks ago. This was my 3rd Monday on this lifting routine. The very 1st Monday I used 60 lb dumbbells for the incline press. The 2nd Monday I made it up to 65lb DB's. All of a sudden today it jumped up to 80 lb DB's for sets of 5. Could this possibly be the effects of the creatine?? Just a bit more info, I have been taking 5g greatine 1/2 hour - 1 hr before lifting and 5g an hour after lifting along with my whey protein shake.

I hope this isn't a dumb question. It just struck me as odd for my lift to increase that dramatically all of a sudden.
