your method of taking creatine

[in_the_making]

I'm sorry if this thread has already been posted and I wouldn't be surprised if it has been. However after searching the first few pages and not finding what I needed I resorted to this and hopefully someone can shed some light!

I have so many friends who take creatine and everyone seems to have a different view on creatine?

should i take 5g before everyworkout?

5g in the morning and 5g before bedtime?

load for a week with 20g a day and then 2g everyday?

could i get the RIGHT way to load/take creatine please? as well as the optimum amount?

cheers in advance!

Creatine.

Creatine Monohydrate.

Who has heard about this for creatine use?

loads of different views or oppinions....

i go for 5g daily. taken in my pwo shake with dextrose,whey and water.

i dont tend to cycle it, i use it every day. ie on non training days il just mix some up and drink it.

then maybe evey 2 months or so, ill take a week off creatine.

i dont load it. i just start taking it pwo as above

i have done lots of reading about creatine, and there are many different opinions, but from all of reading i have found that the general concecus is to take 5g in pwo shake, but don't have it with glutamiene or caffeine, just to be safe...
