Creatine loading schedule - Does this look correct?

[heyhuggy]

Week 1
Creatine: 9g post-workout, 3g before bed.
Glutamine: 13g pre-workout, 13g post-workout, 13g before bed.

Week 2:

Creatine: 19g post-workout, 6g before bed.
Glutamine: 13 pre-workout, 13g post-workout, 13g before bed.


Week 3:

Creatine: 28g post-workout, 9g before bed.
Glutamine: 13g pre-workout, 13g post-workout, 13g before bed.


Week 4:

Creatine: 9g post-workout, 3g before bed.
Glutamine: 13g pre-workout, 13g post-workout, 13g before bed.


Week 5:

All supplementation ceases (cycle is complete).


Creatine and glutamine based upon my LBM of 175 lbs. Week one 50% of baseline, week 2 100%, week 3 150%, week 4 50%. Glutamine is 100% throughout.

 

[thedarce]

creatine dose not have to be loaded or cycled.

 

[heyhuggy]

Well how is dosaged based if not loaded? Taken daily/for extemded amts of time.

 

[bakerwil]

3-5 grams a day any time with or without food.

 

[TxHomeGrown]

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

 

[Sean1332]

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

 

[hvactech]

wow.....

 

[kbayne]

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

Drop the glutamine all together.

i dis agree with w/o days only. once fully saturated then it should be okay

 

[Sean1332]

I should have clarified my post. Every day until saturated then on w/o days as the Tech says

 

[kbayne]

True. My bad on that part.

 

[Clemenza]

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

this is correct

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.

How do you like HCL? Notice any differences from mono? I've heard various feedback

 

[R1balla]

ive never tried it before either

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!

No no no only 5 g everyday for a month until you saturate..... Haha!!!

Lmao redundancy is redundant. I think the issue was covered 18 total times in this one thread lol

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