| | | Creatine Questions I have read the FAQ about creatine and i don't think it answered by question, or if it did i missed it and im sorry. So my first question should I take creatine everyday, even on the days I'm not working out?
On the bottle it says take 1-2 pills in the morning and 1-2 before workout. Right now on days that I know im going to the gym I'm taking one in the morning and 2 before a workout. But not taking any of off days so should I take 1 or 2 on my off days or no?
My other question is more sports related while using creatine. Right now I'm using creatine for soccer and I have seen it helps in sprints towards the ball but my real question is: I have a soccer tournament coming up in a week and I was wonder how many i should take for the game. Right now I'm taking one in the morning and one right before the game. Since it is a tournament though where we might be playing up to 3 games a day should i just take one before each game or one in the morning and one before each game.
thanks for the help |

| | | Use creatine the day of and the day before your competition or when you want to look sexy. This is my opinion. I don't know that much about creantine so don't follow my advice without getting a second opinion. |

| | | Just a sore stomach once in a while, but that was entire my fault from not drinking enough water. So drink lots of water while on creatine |

| | read the creatine FAQ harder: Quote:
How much do I take?
For the average 200lb male, 5g a day, which is a heaping teaspoon, is all you need.
Some labels talk about 'loading'...taking 4 doses a day for 5-7 days. This isn't really necessary. You can load by taking 5g a day for 3 weeks. Either method is going to get you to saturation. As long as you keep up the daily dose of 1 teaspoon, you'll maintain saturation.
| I'll admit, it doesn't state you take it on off days, but the use of 'daily' implies 7days a week, always. I'll update the fact to be less ambiguous. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
