hey ali irfan
if u have univeristy then that sux
but ummmm
when ur in loading phase
-in the morning
-4 hours after the first intake
-2 hrs before workout
-30 minutes before workout
-after workout
that’s how i do it and i got results real quick
and i know most ppl would disagree with me accumlating creatine 2 hrs before workout then one 30 minutes beofre workout again but when i did that i had so much energy in me.
and of course each intake should be about 1 tsp

Lot´s of useful information cheers everyone. I have been going to the gym for about 4 months now, I used to have on and off periods but now as of 4 months ago it’s regular so I have seen real change. Hopefully this stuff’ll help!

After using creatine through several cycles, and experimenting with loading and without loading, I would say that you will notice it a little more after loading. HOWEVER, at the end of the month the gains seem very similar, and for all that creatine you potentially waste in loading I hardly think it seems worth it. A study by Balsom et al, shows daily creatine turnover for a 160lb individual is around 2g, and a little more when weight training… you get that from food, so don’t be too gun-ho and think that more is better. The best study to prove this is by Hultman et al, 1996, where they show that once creatine saturation occurs, after ‘loading’ for instance, you only need 2g a day to maintain maximal levels !!!!! so don’t waste your money taking 5 or more grams a day, half a teaspoon will do!!!

That was awesome advice to put the scoop of creatine in your mouth and wash it down. Thanks a bunch. I take BC Powders. They are much more effective than pill aspirin. I wash them down with grape juice — chocolate milk works great, too. Sometimes, creatine drinks give me an upset stomach, but washing down a dry scoop avoids all of that. I just started supplementing with whey and creatine, and I have been able to work out for an hour and ten minutes. It really gives you that little extra to push yourself. Whey powder is the greatest supplement for overall health. Once again, thanks a bunch.
