Well, if you use the full three scoop serving like the bottle says, you get around 5g(not sure exact amount but judging from the ingrediants and total amount it is likely around 5g) of creatine monohydrate. Also, not sure how much water you drink, extra may cause you to cramp up, and do you take creatine any other time of the day? Supposedly you only really want to take it about 10g a day(depending on how you body handles it) for long periods. SUPPOSEDLY please do not crucify me, this is based on what i'v read and personal experience. anyway, if you do take creatine post workout, i wouldn't bother with extra with you pre.(personal opinion based on what works for me) It may or may not help to take larger dosages, its more how YOUR body react to it. Actual affects, there won't be anything super amazing, you may put on weight a little fast, not sure on strength. E
Like i said, its how it works for YOU, so if your wondering just try it.Focus on the reality and not the possibility or it will forever consume your mind...

The volumization is anti-catabolic but dats about all.

In a nutshell, creatine can increase/enhance work output if your endogenous levels are not up to snuff. Over time, that can lead to gains.
You take stims preworkout to have a more intense/productive training. Look at creatine as an adjunct to that.Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out.

I don't think its just an anti-catabolic agent, it's also anabolic:

From my experience it speeds up recovery and helps with endurance, allowing you to workout harder, for longer.. Meaning you can overload your muscles for longer before your cells are depleted of ATP, more time spent in overload promotes more muscle growth in order to adapt oO

Dietary creatine supplementation increases total and phospho-creatine levels in muscle letting your muscles recover ATP more rapidly following exercise. You would be able to exercise for longer periods or at higher intensity levels. Pretty amazing, I think. I agree the direct anabolic effects are controversial but indirectly its pretty clear that you gain more muscle with creatine supplementation.

phosphocreatine, which is what supplemented creatine supports, is the primary fuel source in one of your body's three methods of energy production. Saying creatine doesn't work is about the same as saying oxygen and carbohydrates don't work. I think people just expect too much out of creatine. I have a measureable result when I use creatine, which is an increase in anaerobic performance in the 3-5% range.
