WTF Seriously? All these years I’ve been doing it wrong
…thanks everyone for the help.
take 5 grams a day. on workout days take it post workout with juice. the carbs in the juice help transport it to your muscles.
Will I have problems with absorbtion or whatnot if I just take the 5g, stick it in my mouth, then wash it down with a glass of water? I don’t like to mix it up.
no but its better to down it with something that has carbs and sugar in it

If I recall correctly, most people don’t “need” carbs with their Creatine. This protocol was started for otherwise non-responders.
If anything, it’s more important to have salt with your Creatine.
what if you get the shits with creatine?

Mix it with warm water or grapejuice, and make sure it’s diluted well. The shits usually subsided with me after a few weeks, but taking micronized creatine had less of the side-effect.

Or spread out the dosage throughout the day – 1 gram with 5 of your meals.
Bill Roberts recently recommended this.
Anyone use 10g? Please don’t hear me say that 5g is wrong, I’ve just always heard 10g. I split mine to 5g about two hours before I lift and 5g immediately after.
Alright, this is how the pros do it.
Take one heaping tsp and cook it up with a lighter and spoon. Tie off that dinosaur and IV that shit.
