* I have also been hitting the creatine monohydrate for this month. I started the loading phase of it, which is about 20gr per day for the next five days, when I will back of to about 2.5gr per day. I never believed in the loading phase before due to conflicting information on the necessity of it. I read some information from an non-biased source recently that made me decide to give it a try and see what it does for this month.

 

I have always believed in the effectiveness of supplementing with creatine (it has been shown safe and effective in tons of studies) , but it was just the loading phase I wasn't sure of. I figured it was some gimmick the supplement companies came up with to sell more product. I get plenty of animal protein, so I also thought I was getting plenty of it as it was so I didn't supplement with it. 

 

We'll see how this works.
