My advice to you if this is the first time you are trying creatine is to load it for the full 4-5 days. Then only take 5-10 grams right after your workout. This is the most effective method. I recommend that you add 5-10 grams of glutamine at the same time, it makes a significant difference. Good Luck -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

I've had good results with MuscleTech's Cell-Tech (a comparable creatine transport powder), although it was a bit expensive. But now I use ProLab's plain old white creatine powder. During both the loading and maintenance phases, you'll need to take it on your off days as well. On off days, I took mine (Cell-Tech) in the morning. However, when I switched to the white powder, I took 5g (1 teaspoon) in the morning and 5g in the afternoon. It is recommended that you cycle this supplement. Take it for about 6-8 weeks, then go off it for a week, then load again thereafter. Hope this helps... -------------- **_Robert_**
