Creatine/Push Up Supplement question
Posted on 7/8/20 at 9:32 pm

So I'm going to join the gym tomorrow for the first time in probably 15 years.
I read that usually people take like 5g (or maybe mg can't remember) of creatine a day but the first week they start at like 25 a day. Is that legit?
Also, my workouts will have to be in the evenings around 8 or 9 is doing a few sets of 50 push ups earlier in the day or on off days going to help or hurt?

No need to load the creatine just take 5g daily.
Depending on your work capacity it could definitely hurt your lifts. Start slow and ease into it.

The loading phase was the typical recommended method when creatine first hit the scene back in the mid 90's.
It will take slightly longer to saturate your muscles but 5-10 grams per day (taken periworkout) is the current recommended protocol by most and will give you the best bang for your buck

5g creatine mono in any beverage, any time of day, every day, for the rest of your life.
Don't miss more than 2 days in a row. Missing one day is fine.
HCL if you have a sensitive stomach.
I personally don't take it with caffeine but the studies are suspect on that (possible it messes with absorption). Just take it outside your coffee/tea session and you should be fine regardless. Water + Mono + Mio lemonade for me.
Cheers!
