How do you avoid water retention? i've l a lot of it with creatine ! So i'm no longer using it on contest prep. What about dosage. i do a week loading the first week i'm using it 20 g a day split into 4 serving 5 grms each then 5 gram before training a and 5 gram immediately after the following week.

In my experience I have my competitors stop taking Creatine 3-4 weeks out from a show. Have found that it signifigantly reduces bloating.

Just my competitors & my observations.
