Creatine

[DreamTheaterFan]

I'm considering creatine. Now, I know exactly how it works scientifically. But I need specifics on what to do with it. Is it a pill/powder? Do I take it everyday? At what time? And should my workout change? Should I do high volume, low reps? Should I workout more often.

Thanks.

i have the creatine pills and it says after the loading phase to take 6 pills daily do i take them before or after my workout

i've been told that the only benefit from the loading phase is quicker results. a daily dosage of one normal scoop (45g) is said to bring the same effects just over a longer period of about 3-4 weeks (estimation) however to acheive best results with creatine be sure to drink it with a liquid carbohydrate (gatorade) with an empty stomach.

Heh, i think you made a typo, 45g is 9x the recommended daily maintnance dosage.
