Oh excellent. Reread my article and you will see that we agree that you multiply your weight in kilograms by 0.3 or .3 . Eric |

For instance: If you weigh 200lbs and your BF is 20%, your LBM is 160lbs or approx 73 kilos, multiply that by .3 and get approx 22 grams of creatine during your load phase |

| | | I dont know what type of creatine you are taking but stay away from plain monohydrate. That is what is causing your bloating [only 10-30% abosorbed] and the need for a loading period along with mass doses needed. Research newer Chelated formulas that require half the dose with 100% absorbtion. Also, make sure its in powder form no gells or pills. with powder its absorbed through the small intestines, everything else attempt to get absorbed through the stomach...bloating, gastrolintestinal problems etc. |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
