Is 10 grams of creatine, 5 before lifting 5 after too much?

Please stop giving out bad advice.

With all due respect, i stated before its what works best for MY body! With a degree in biology im pretty sure i know what im talking about with whats is going on inside the body...Its not bad advice, its fact...plus its only considered advice if you use it. Take it as you want, but how can replenishing your glycogen levels after a workout, taking creatine in a healthy way, and having protein, glutamine and bcaas PWO be bad advice? lol

5g before and after are crucial for maintaining elevated PCr levels to replenish ATP

I use the creatine mono 5g before and after workouts. It will give you energy for the workout and the point of before and after is to saturate the muscles with enough creatine to provide the body with enough Phosphocreatine to rejuvinate your ATP during workouts..

. The after is for when you replenish your glycogen levels with your carbohydrate, the insulin shuttles nutrients into your muscles (so your have your protein, glutamine, creatine, bcaas in you PWO shake which ensures they are being directly delivered to the muscle PWO)

Dude, from your pics it looks like you are dialed in, so I don't doubt you know what works for you, but the above statements are just not correct.

How about a 200 lbs male? Do they need to take more than 5g? Or is it the same?

No, because more than likely 5 grams is already more than you need to maintain 100% fully saturated.

A 200 pound man would need to take 2.7 grams per day to maintain saturation.

3g comes from you body, and a little more comes from your diet. The after is for when you replenish your glycogen levels with your carbohydrate, the insulin shuttles nutrients into your muscles (so your have your protein, glutamine, creatine, bcaas in you PWO shake which ensures they are being directly delivered to the muscle PWO)

What a load of crap.

Yes, biology degree. Superb. That degree indicates that there's a slightly higher probability that you know a few more things about nutrition than the layman. That's it. It doesn't mean anything else. It's like my previous doctor who advised my dad to stop mixing carbs with fat in order to lose weight.

Glutaime, BCAAs... seriously what a crap advice. No one "needs" those stuff. They're not necessary. And for most people, their glycogen is not completely depleted after a workout; it is for people who work out in a fasted state or work out several times a day.

Hi

My question is - Is 10 grams of creatine, 5 before lifting 5 after too much?

I've heard that you only need 5g per day, but isn't 10 grams okay to take just incase 5g is too little for me?

How much do you weigh? How much muscle mass do you have? If you are 200 pounds then you should be taking at least about 7 grams a day. It is just as incorrect to say everyone needs 5 grams a day as saying everyone needs 2000 calories a day. It just doesn't make any sense at all. The key is loading up your body with creatine and maintaining that load in order to get the results. Make sure to look over studies rather than coming to forums.

Take at least 5 grams a day in general according to studies and you should be taking it every single day. But again, with increased weight, you should take more than 5 grams most likely.
