Creatine bloat

[jdesey]

There is so much literature on creatine it can be confusing. It is allegedly is the most scientific studied supplement on the market.

I do not do any loading phase and I just keep the maintenance level of 5 g per day.

I am approaching 18% body fat and trying to get back down to 12% as I have been there before. I’m running a solid calorie deficit and I think I have the diet under control.

Is creating causing me to retain water? I feel that this percentage body fat I should be seeing more vascularity and cuts.

On the other hand creatine has much literature to back up more intense and better workouts than not using it.


Thoughts? Comments?

genetics, body temperature, salt intake, extra skin also play a role
