Creatine Supplementation before cutting

[Mack77]

Guys,

I'm looking at another month of clean bulking before cutting down for the summer. I've used creatine in the past and know how it works, would you recommend using creatine for a month THEN immediately start cutting down? I'm debating whether or not the gains will be worth the added cardio to lose the excess water bloat.

Contine to use creatine through a cut, it will be beneficial.

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought that...

I just searched these forums for more information on creatine and cutting, but no real good detailed information. Do you know any online references where I can read up and learn more about this? Or if you can, please explain why.

Much appreciated

Well when you talk about bloat, I'm not sure if it's something you are experiencing or something you just read. Bloat with 3-5g is very minimal/non-existant. Also if you are that low of a bodyfat where water retention is very noticeable, say contest shape, you can always drop the creatine when necessary. But I'd always use creatine on a cut to maintain mass/strength.
