gonna start to take creatine

[Maddwraph]

hey guys, for the first time Im gonna start taking some creatine. Im 6 ft. 170 pounds, and want to get bigger. Im probably gonna go with the monohydrate at gnc since I can get a discount off of it. I was told to take 5-10 grams after my workouts (4 day) and take the same amount spread throughout 5-10 grams in a 8 hour split on non workout days (3 days of the week). Is this a good idea? Thanks.

Creatine is still relatively new as far as supplements go, so all info you receive for a while (years) is subject to change with new testing. That said, I think creatine is a good product to use to bulk up. I used it a few years ago and it really worked for me. I did increase in size, strength, endurance, and recovery. Of course I was working out at least 4 days a week back then and it helps to be consistent.

Just remember 3 things:

1. Take it according to the label.

2. Take it while you are on a regular exercise routine. Creatine only enhances the benefits of exercise, especially regular vigorous strength training. If you don't work out, it does nothing.

3. Creatine works for most but not all people. Some people's physiology just won't respond to it. About 80 percent of people's systems have the ability to respond to creatine.
