Creatine questions

[sabrefan173]

Ok I know mostly everything about creating am takin your basic monohydrate. I know they recommend taking 5 grams a day but I am 6'4 275 pounds and play college ball so should I increase my dose to 10 grams a day? also should I cycle off creatine or stay on it all the time? Thanks

Creatine*

5 grams a day for your body weight will be fine, there is no need to cycle off it.

5g a day,no need to cycle,load,deload or any of that.Just 5g a day every day!

nope
if you are worries about tho, look into alternative forms of creatine..
like our buffered ph-balanced formulation that provides superior absorption/uptake

i'd say you don't even need 5g of this product daily (3-4 would suffice just fine), but since you already think that is not enough I don't wish to confuse you further

Your size does not matter,5g a day will do you good!

roughly 3 grams daily is enough for a 200lb male to maintain saturation so 5G for you is plenty.

Size does not matter,5" a day will do you good!

That's ok, a woman feels the first 3" most intensely.

Keep telling yourself that....

 

[Piston Honda]

The first 3" can of course go further into the flesh purse

5g daily for a month or so, then you'll be more than fine with every other day dosing.

You won't get more of an effect by taking 10gs of the stuff just stick to 5 especially on workout days... That's the key to any good routine. Are you taking any other supplements right now at all?

Get some creatine HCL.

No loading, and microdosed based off weight.

It's the supperior form.

Creatine HCL will allow individuals to become saturated quicker, however once saturated mono will yield the same results as HCL.

5g/day no cycling needed!

Not sure I believe that completely. Either way, no reason to switch back to mo o, when you can get 100 grams HCL for $10.

 

[snagencyV2.0]

the whole "saturation" is dated material and poorly referenced
for your purposes: no need to load, and no need to "alter" any amount as there is no "point" to assessing/guessing when this so-called "saturation" occurs .. just consider yourself saturated upon initial use of product

 

[TheSwanks]

As for what kind of creatine to use, I prefer the IIHYT method of determination (if it hits your toilet). If mono makes you pee out of your butt or fart a lot then switch to a different type. If not then stick with it 365 days/ year

 

[Ape McGrapes]

I just personally never felt much from any creatine, wether loading 20 grams of mono, or maintaing on 5. Creatine malate, creapture etc..did nothing for me.

Always heard great things about Con-Cret, even from bigger heavy ass users. Couldn't bring myself to try it at the high price, and chance of failure.

Once Prescription Nutrition released creatine HCL for real cheap, I figured why not. Ran it in a stack with Recompadrol and Anabeta. The stack was comparable to/better than some light PH cycles I had ran in the past.

Ran Anaveta and Recompadrol again, without the exact same results. Still a real nice stack, but I couldn't ignore the missing puzzle piece.

Haven't heard a bad thing about the HCL either. Reviews across the board are great. Almost 100% positive feedback.

That all said I still could give a **** about creatine. I really have seen nothing from it. However this is the route I will go if I choose to use it.

Here is a phenominal article on creatine and creatine HCL in particular.

You're entitled to your opinion, however being how kinetically superior creatine HCL is in comparison to mono, I would go with HCL if I had the choice. Or just load mono, however that causes GI distress in many.
