Opinions on loading?

Hi guys

Ive just taken delivery of some reflex creapure.. Ive been training and cutting now for nearly 3 months. Using Dymatize whey and pro peptide in the evening before bed.

im building shape etc and am now inserting creatine in to my suppliment 'stack'

Ive heard mixed reviews on the loading phase.. what are your opinions?

thanks

Dave

i think its 5g 5x a day for for 5 days-then 5g a day(probably depends on bodyweight if youre being super accurate-
it should be taken with ( i think 30g ) of a simple sugar.

I think the loading phase is essentially pointless as your body cannot store anyway near the amount of creatine you load with but the argument ran that much is wasted and only a small amount properly used hence Creatine EE.

At the end of the day load with it it costs about 12 p a spoonfull rather be over saturated than sub optimal intake.

i personally see no point in a loading phase, i have heard that it is a waste of time,

Run 4x5g for around 5-7 days, then switch down to 2x5g for the standard period.

You don't require simple sugars, just make sure you have it with a meal or a shake.

i'll agree with the chemist about the simple sugar part, however i've tried it both ways and never found a difference...just start taking it at your regular desired dose and enjoy...
