Creatine Cycles?

esco Posts: 84 Joined: 2001/01/08	2001/07/25, 09:45 PM I finished the creatine loading phase, i am almost done with my fisrt week of the regular 5 grams a day thing, friday will be a week. I heard that when you cycle with it, it gives better results? Does creatine do anything at all?

Following the loading phase.. take 5-10 grams after your workouts - not on rest days. Doing this you will not need to come off from it. Some people use creatine for the water retention properties which blows your muscles up. I use it for recovery. Good Luck. .o0 Arnold 0o.

Also, recovery meaning i can work out more? I workout 2 times a week, monday and thursday or tuesday and friday. i switch each week. I only work my chest and arms.
