When To Use Creatine?

[Thewes]

Another question for everyone at smd. When you take creatine, do you take it before/after work out? I have been on and off with it for the past 2 years, but would always take it during work out, saw some results, but just want some other opinions.

when I used to take it i would take it before and after....just depends on how much/hard your working out.

[Thewes]

So while working out is pretty much the same. I don't know if it matters really, and work out sites are way too fucking biased on supplements.

Take it a little before so it has time to get circulating through your system while you're working out.

ya i believe so...if you havent already check out bodybuilding.com's forums. There is alot of useful info. I would just lurk over there all the time. Of course everything is going to be different for every person but you will get the general idea

Pshh creatine is natural, your just taking an unnatural amount of it! ha

People who take creatine only see gains as long as they are on creatine, as soon as they get off, they deflate down to normal size.

You shrink thats for sure, but you don't lose all of your gain. You just lose the water weight that you soaked up (which is sometimes alot though)

Exactly, in high school I saw guys start creatine, get their bench up to like 200, get off creatine, and fall below what they even started at.
