creatine and cramps

[dillon]

Creatine draws water from your system to work effectively, so you may need to look at how much you are drinking

it seems like every time i try creatine i start getting cramps after about 2 hours. who has the same problem? who can use creatine on 3 and 4 hour rides?

 

Creatine also causes dehydration (more solutes)...

 

Again... some expensive urine... itll hamper your performance

EPO would be a better bet

Train harder and recover with a milkshake!

I presume you got your medical degree from Medunsa?

I would apologize for such a childish remark if i was you !

Ya, u must just train and live on bread n water. You must also hunt your own meat with a spear and your wife must gather veggies when she recover's from you clubbing her n dragging her to the cave by her hair.

 

Also, try taking the creatine AFTER you ride, in your recovery shake, with a spoon of glutamine. If it's the powdered monohydrate, dissolve it in warm water and let it cool in the fridge over night. Your body will absorb it better than if u just chuck a spoon of powder/'crystals' in the shake.

So you agree that cramping is solely related to lack of training?

But how will supplementing with Creatine benefit endurance athletes compared to supplementing with protein / carbs, i.e. what would the improvement in performance be percentage wise with Creatine vs without Creatine, ignoring the possible side effects as per the OP's post?

 

I'm not arguing, just wondering as you probably have good knowledge wrt Creatine.

It differs from person to person, I can be as under trained as hell but I will never cramp, but my friend cramps even when he is quite fit
