Creatine Basics: To Load or Not To Load Creatine


www.hugorivera.net – Natural bodybuilding expert and best selling fitness author Hugo Rivera talks about whether to load ot not to load creatine. Is it really necessary to load up for 5 days with 20-30 grams? Based on research taking 3-5 grams for 30 days will have the same effect than loading up for 5 days with massive amounts. My personal experience shows the same in addition to the fact that this is easier on the stomach as well. The best time to start taking creatine is 1 teaspoon after the workout as the stomach easily absorbs it at this time. After 10 days you can start taking another 1/2 teaspoon prior to training. Remember to stay well hydrated always, drinking 0.66 x bodyweight in ounces of water each day.

    @laughykassie Hi! Well, in order to gain weight you need the right diet and training program. Please check this page out on my website for information on training and diet for gaining weight visit my website (the section on bodybuilding for hardgainers). This page has information on how women need to eat to gain muscle weight. As far as creatine helping, take 2-5 grams before and after the workout and that will also help with your muscle gaining endeavors. Best! HR

    I was a first time user and I attempted the loading phase and it was just too much. I had to drink plenty of water and my stomach was upset. I also suggest going with the 5g of creatine after the work out.

    Solid video ;)
