creatine load times

[brolocked]

whats the best time to load creatine? I'm doing 30 grams of creatine per day to load up but not spreading it out just doing all at once.

bro load 10 grams every 4 hours...mainly around training time and 1 dose should be right before training....

There is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to creatine supplementation. There is no need to load or cycle creatine. Supplement with 5-10g per day. When you take the creatine doesn't matter but ideally you would supplement with creatine pre and post workout, as your body is most inclined to absorb nutrients at this time. Supplementing with creatine post workout will also help replenish depleted creatine phosphate stores from your workout.

I personally use the Ancient Strength creatine formula from N2bm.com and use 1 serving pre workout and 1 serving post workout.

I just made a informational video on creatine. You can give it a watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwueoiWoxt8

There is no need to load on creatine, and it is better to just start with the normal dosage that you will take all along. Usually, 5-10 grams per day are more than enough, and it is not necessary to use anymore than that.

30 grams is a lot. Don't over think it. Creatine isn't some magic powder...just use 5g per workout and 5 afterwards. That works just fine

Listen to the Mods, I for years typically did 20g for the first week to load then 10/day thereafter, but again that was based on the current info at the time. Things have changed
