When to take creatine?

esco Posts: 84 Joined: 2001/01/08	2001/08/06, 11:40 AM When should I take creatine? How do you make it blow your muslces up with water? Thats what I'm looking for, I guess i have noticed a little strentgh improvement, not that much really in size though.

I have made great gains over the past few months simply taking a vitamin pack, aminos, protein and training hard. That is much better than blowing money on creatine or other things. I have tried it and noticed no changes. Really want to flood your muscles with blood, go very high reps with about 40-50% of your max. This will fill you out for a while. Want to gain size? Lift heavy. Period.

I've heard it doesn't work for everybody, though. I take 5 g every morning and the same amount after training. That should do it, but some people recommend bigger dosage.

The conditions have to be the same and that is just too hard to do from person to person. Maybe it does work, but my money is best spent on 90lb dumbbells for my gym!
