Is LOADING necessary when using creatine?
TweetDo you have to load for 5 days when starting creatine? I just bought GNC creatine and they want you to load for 5 days at 4x a day. IS THIS NECESSARY??????????

TweetI dont think its necessarily needed but its more like frontloading...if you want it to get into your bloodstream faster. What type of gnc creatine did you buy? just curious.
Tweeti don't do it for 5 days. i do it for 2-3 max

TweetNot necessary, most dont do it anymore, although it gets your basal creatine plasma levels up quicker....
Tweeti never load

TweetThe only time I felt creatine working is when I was loading. Muscles felt real tight when working out. After the week or so of that, things went back to normal.

Tweetwhat is it like, you will reach saturation point quicker if you load, but you'll hit it in like 30 days if you dont, something to that effect.
Do you know where one builds action, stamina and guts? In the gym under the iron day after day, forever without fail or excuses or grumbling, that’s where. It’s true. I read a study somewhere and that’s what it said, really.
There’d be fewer battles, less drugs and less crime and more happy moms and dads if we all lifted weights… let’s face it. In what recent medical journal was I reading that?

TweetEssentially. Similiar to frontloading gear. I wouldnt say 30 days, maybe a couple weeks.Originally posted by massive member

TweetI keep a constant level of 10g a day until I run out. Works fine.

TweetHas anyone tried GNC's Creatine Monohydrate? I know creatine is creatine is creatine, but I am just curious if it's worth a shit.

TweetI used to use it (back when I didnt have a credit card) and it worked well for me. If you wait until gold card month (if they still do that) its actually not a bad price.

TweetIt's Gold Card Discount every month for the first 7 days of the month. It cost around $30 after the discount plus, there's over 200 servings. I'm just tired of paying 60 bucks for TRAC and it only lasting 20 days!!!!!Originally posted by YellowJacket
