Workout crew- loading creatine

More calories. Creatine holds too much water and most of what you gain will be water weight. Eat more.

I reccomend it for the bulk, but not a "full scoop". I do about 1/3rd a scoop after a day of lifting. Full scoop can make you retain a lot of water and look weird

Gotta take in the calories and rip that muscle.

I'm trying to build lean muscle and was wondering the ots opinion on loading creatine.

I guess you could load creatine for muscle growth if you had enough of it. Anything heavy enough to provide some decent weight should work. You could load bricks or books too. Just be sure to lift with the knees and not the back.

I weight 126

5'8" and less than 130. Jesus man. You look unhealthy, regardless of what you think.

Healthy. Lot of protein. Chicken eggs mill peanut butter.

It's been about a week and a half eating like this. I'm up from like 1400 calories. Not just a big jump but gradual.

use concret and you won't have to load. same dose every time and you won't bloat up with water weight

if you use pure creatine monohydrate, you'll be taking a shite ton of it each day for a week or two just to load. it gets expensive.
