Creatine

[ranger655]

Hey I was just wondering what the low down on creatine intake is. during my last 9 weeks of training i started off by loading with 15g a day and then after a week i went to 5 g a day. how long should you sustain 5 g a day. as long as you need or is it good to stop and take a break from creatine intake.

Cycle it or you become, at the very least, psychologically dependant on it for your workouts. 6-8 weeks on, 6 weeks off.

i cycle 6 weeks on, 2 weeks off. I think 6 weeks off is too much.

No amount of time off is too much. Hell, I only cycle on creatine when I hit a plateau. It's not that necessary of a supplement.
