Back on creatine....

jbennett Posts: 1,558 Joined: 2001/02/28	2002/08/20, 01:09 PM I haven't taken creatine since June. This was not exactly by choice, but I was falling behind a bit in my routine and supplement regime due to the birth of my daughter on June 1st. Well, I've been back on track again with my workout routine for a couple months now, but I just started back up with the creatine. I completed my loading phase of creatine last week, and I must say, this stuff is great. Yeah, I've been taking creatine for a long time now (off and on) and the effects have been no less than awesome. But because its been absent from my usual supplement intake for about 9 weeks, I can feel just how truly awesome the effects really are. Just thought I'd share the joy.....! ;) ---------------------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

During the loading phase I take 5 grams twice a day for a week then cut it back to around 5 grams once a day. I personally take for for 6-8 weeks then cycle off for a couple of weeks normally. This past couple of months were the exception.

Then the maintanance phase use 5g per day for the next 6-8 weeks. Then give it a rest for 3-4 weeks. After that you can start your loading phase again.
