Do you take creatine on rest days?

[chris07tian]

Hi all, ive recently bought some micronized creatine (new to creatine) and just wondering if you take 5g of creatine on the rest days to get the best out of it. Thanks

[nics1246]

Yes. 3-5 grams a day, everday.

I use 3 grams on off days (C-bol), and 4.5 on workout days (C-Bol+Pump Bol)

[chris07tian]

do you think it would be more beneficial if you take 3g on rest days and 5g on workout days?

That would be enough to stay saturated so yes, that would be fine.

Staying saturated is important. I DO take mine on rest days also.

[Packham93]

Yes!

No. After you've elevated muscle creatine levels near saturation, you'll be able to maintain those levels by using only on training days or about 5 days a week.

True, it takes almost a month off it to lose 30% creatine in your body.

Some other products you can though.

I take neovar recomped as the label says each day for the other benifits

Oh yeah. If anything, you'll have more phosphates available for replenishing ADP to ATP the next day. Giving you more energy for reps the next day.

Plus, it allows your muscles to hydrate better (recover faster), which is the point of a "rest day".

Definitely yes.

[Misctake7]

Take creatine 7 days a week

[KimJong-il]

I take it only on my workout days (5 days a week), thats more than enough to be fully saturated.

[llahhsoj]

I like to take 5 grams every day even though it isn't needed.
