Keeping gains in creatine

[lang66]

Is it true when you stop using it you lose the strength gains youve made?

I don't think so, people should not depend on supplements.

Is it true when you stop using it you lose the strength gains youve made?

Not so. Size, a few pounds for sure. But there's no need to stop using it is there.

Is it true when you stop using it you lose the strength gains youve made?

No. Some of the intracellular fullness might be lost, but that's a given when you come off of it.

It's not quite that black and white. Again it depends a lot how you have been training and obviously there are some individual differences as well.
Some might lose a little bit of strength if creatine made them hold a lot of water but nothing major. I would say your repetition max is probably the one that is gonna suffer the most.

It's only creatine bro I seriously doubt it attributed to massive strength gains. I wouldn't worry about it. Just train hard.

there is no black and white answer to this.

depends on too many factors, how about you stick to a consistent workout program long term and build up strength over time

No exact way to answer this question. Just keep in mind that years and years of training will lead to strength and size gains.
