Aren't you too smart to be taking creatine?
Used it before and noticed a big difference in muscle size, becuase of water retention. I also noticed a change in muscle output, but it wasn't measured, so I don't know how much.
There are three phases to a creatine regimine: loading, maintainance, and washout. The loading phase lasts no more than 5 days. During this phase, the correct dose is 20g for a 150 lb male, 24g for 175 lb, and 27g for 200. The next phase, maintancence, lasts 25-30 days. During this phase you take 1/10th of what you did during loading. Finally, they recommend a 30 day washout phase, during which time you take no creatine.
Ovearll, doses should be taken every 4 hours. Take no more than 10g at each time. Take each dose with water or a non-acidic drink, like apple juice. Drink plenty of liquids while your taking creatine, since the substance promotes water retention.
