Creatine question

[Archamage]

I usually take my creatine post-work out, but am curious as to whether or not I should continue to take the same amount on my off-days. What's the popular opinion of this? I assume I should keep taking it to aid in muscle recovery, but would like more knowledgable input from the board.

Thanks.

Yes. The same dose should be taken on workout days as non workout days to insure your muscle bellies stay saturated

I take mine even on non-workout days...usually around 5g a day no matter what. It's around 10g when I workout. It's all about preference really I do it mainly to keep a routine.

Take 5 grams a day and a extra 5 grams about 1-2 hours before workouts.

Jack what's your reasoning for taking it before workout? Not saying you're wrong, I know a lot in this game comes down to personal preference...but all that i've ever read says there's no real benefit taking it pre-workout...can you elaborate a bit?

just habit no real reason i just like to split it up bro ,not sure if it makes a diffrence or not ,i allways have 25 grms of protein before i workout and 55 after so i just split up the creatine ...
