Way too much thought put into this. Just take 5g daily.

Jesus, just take a scoop of creatine on your workout days. No need for those in depth loading plans bud.

Creatine -- 3-5 grams a day. Whenever is most convenient for you. Only take on workout days.

Drop the glutamine all together.

Dont need to make it so complicated. A teaspoon (5g) a day for a month usually saturates creatine stores

i really hope you arent actually doing this. just take 3-5g of creatine/day. its not about the amount you take, its about saturation = around 4g of creatine. heck, i only take it on my training days (4x a week) as many other people do as well.

No, I haven't been doing this, nor was I fully intending on in. I haven't taken creatine since I was in college, before I knew what I was doing with supplements. I have just been doing some researching on creatine and studying the various theories on loading. Just wanted some input and it looks like I got it!

Agreed with you and most of the others in this thread too. This is how I do it as well.
