Does creatine make you look bigger?

[2Tiny]

I know that creatine swells cells with water and increases your weight due to water weight. So, will this make your arms and legs look bigger? And then once you are off creatine your size decrease?

[musclepeak88]

Yes a little just like viagra makes you look harder haha.

[.Enigma.]

Yea itll make you look bigger

Creatine is a awesome supp an with a good diet and workout plan you should see good gains and strengh increase

Creatine mono isn't that much money and you prob got the Gnc brand so that also is gonna be cheaper.

If this is your first cycle of creatine I would do a cycle of 4 weeks on 3-4 weeks off. I think for the GNC brand a servings a tablespoon right? I would take one serving in the morning and a serving after your workout

Good luck with your creatine use. Hope u see some good gains!

K i just got some met-rx creatine monohydrate. Should I take some today even if its not a workout day? Another question is should i just take it directly after my workout on workout days, and when i get up in the morning on non-workout days?

[PRMachine]

On non-workout days, take it in the morning, as soon as you get up with lots of water.
On workout days, take it right after workout, with lots of water.
Drink lots of water.



























































Water

Sounds about right to me, but remember not to drink excessive amounts.

i take my creatine everyday, people say you dont have to and its a waste but i still think you benifit from it, i take it in the morning before i eat and when i get home from the gym before i have my protein shake, it works well for me so id try that out, on off days i would take it when you wake up in the morning and before you go to sleep or 20 min before you eat dinner, you could also switch it up if you want like take it after your workout and before you go to sleep.



pretty much what the guys said above me lol

[2Tiny]

i notice you have to drink a lot of water, but can it be milk, and kool aid, or does it have to be pure water

[sprint400]

one question.

if u use it then stop, will you lose weight?

[umop3pisdn]

one question.

You generally lose about 12lbs when you cycle off it. Your balls shrink and end up looking like dried up prunes.

How much water should you be drinking a day whilst on 3-5g of creatine, because i can't really drink much at school, because i have to piss A LOT, but at home i dont mind drinking an extra 1 litre over half an hour, more if neccasary. Is it fine if water consumption isn't evenly spread out throughout the day? And how many litres should i be drinking?



Also, personally, do you piss a lot when on creatine? Is it just because the amount that you are drinking? Or does it have anything to do with water retention, and more water in your body?

[Zenan]

I don't drink any more than normal on Creatine and I'm fine.

[Bronic]

Drink 4 liters or a little over 1 gallon of water every day- check out the Creatine FAQ sticky, lots of info there

Whole fat milk is 80% water. There is no different types of water, just pure water will hydrate you faster than Milk. If you drink a gallon of fluids a day, regardless of type, you should be fine.

Resurrected, soz guys.
