Anyway I have been kind of lazy and I usually only take creatine on days i go to the gym which is 3-4 days a week(I started going less cuse my upper body is about as big as i want it now). So The question I wanted to ask is are you taking it every day?
During the loading phase of creatine I was taking it every day. An article I read states that the loading phase needs 10-20grams per day for 7 - 10 days. After that you are in the maintentance phase and only have 5grams per day. These days I often miss a day or two but still notice benefits in training. Just one serve of creatine after a workout seems to be fine for me now that I've gone through the loading phase.

Hope that helps,

Mig
