@chasullivan Thank you!!
I bought a cheap creatine monohydrate at Walmart. Brand is equate. It tastes like virtually nothing. I chug it in a glass of water. There are probably cooler brands with flavors I will get into when this tasteless vat runs out. All I know is someone I trust at the gym told me to make sure it’s monohydrate.
I did a creatine load. That meant taking four times the daily dose for a week, half in the morning and half at night. Being active and working out every day during the load (on non lift days, I’d do Pilates or treadmill). Water is KEY, you have to drink a gallon a day during the load. It’s easy to do because it made me so thirsty. Now I take the normal dose every morning with a lot of water.
The difference is I feel that I’m giving my muscles a chance to swell and repair. It technically makes you retain water in your muscles. I view it as part of my recovery process. It’s not like a preworkout where I get any energy or buzz from it, but I do notice a visible change in muscle definition from taking it within the first few days.
