I started creatine in October. I use about 5g per day. I didn't load. I lifted weights when I was younger but had problems getting strength or mass. At 5'10" my best weight was about 180 and my bench reps never got above body weight (180). When I started back in the gym, my reps got back to 175-180 pretty fast but stopped. Since I started, (call it 45 days) my bench reps are up to 215. I have put on 5 pounds with no increase in waist size. My arms have put on 3/4 inch cold and 1 1/2" pumped. I am very happy with the results. I have noticed no side effects directly. I used to get headaches from time to time (say 1 or 2 a week). They seem to be more prevalent now (3 or 4 a week). I don't know that this isn't environemntal but wondered if anyone else gets more on creatine? I am cycling for eight weeks then off in December and will see what happens then. The cycling I've seen involves significantly more creatine than I use and for longer periods. I am going with a conservative approach. Does anyone have any advice? I’m 35.
