You will lose some water weight, maybe have str go down.

Take 3-5g everyday for 365 days a year.

[KwayZee]

You'll be completely fine. The most that will happen is that you'll lose a little bit of water weight and not much of anything else.

Agreed with above posts,may shed some water weight.Why would you not just continue to take it?No need to cycle it,3-5g daily every day.

[UOFLcards2011]

No need to cycle creatine. 5g daily/everyday.

[Thunderkunt99]

you need to take a break every cycle to let your natural creatine levels regenerate. Expect to lose a large amount of mass and see your strength plummet your testicles should go back to their original plumpness after a while too.

Nah man you'll be good. You may lose your ability to push out that last rep, but not much else past that.

But Arnold Schwarzenegger told me that it's the last rep that divides you from being a champion or not being a champion and is what makes the muscles grow. Wat do? Halp?

You will probably shrivel up :3








Nah. You'll rob just lose some water weight. Normally I'll lose about 4-6lb whence cumming off of creatine. Just cycle off that chit and start it back up 4 weeks later m8

The general consensus/belief is to cycle creatine for 8 weeks, a short period off then repeat, that way you will respond more, instead of always being on the creatine. However it is personal choice. When training in arnolds phrase it means regardless of supplementation, as long as you're pushing yourself, reaching failure/enough reps you will still grow, so train the same.

Where is that the general consensus? Your gym? I suggest that you look elsewhere before you start giving advice on what is generally advised. First off, for those who understand why they choose to cycle off, the purpose espoused is typically to allow creatine levels to return to baseline. If that is in fact the goal, going off for "a short period" you would never achieve this goal, as it takes 4-6 weeks "off" to achieve that goal.

Those who understand creatine, and choose to cycle will go off for 6 weeks once or twice a year.

so your saying I should take both containers of creatine and stay on it for a while?

[Sarcobium]

Yes since it will take a few weeks to increase muscle creatine to its upper threshold as it is. It's like pulling out before you get to blow your load.

I believe i said 365 days per year, therefore you never cycle.
Im dead serious also.
