Creatine Dosage

When i will take my creatine mono, I know its supposed to be pre and post workout. However would i split it up to 2.5 pre and 2.5 post when im on a maintaince stage for 4 weeks??? The first 4 days i will do 20 grams a day to saturate the cells...

After doing your creatine load take about 5 grams a day. Your split sounds good. I usually throw 2 to 3 grams into a protien shake approx 30 min prior to my workout. Right after my workout I do the same thing. Also you dont have to really measure to make sure its 2.5 grams. Just take a heaping spoonfull and throw it in the shake. Drink alot of water also!!

It really depends on how much you weigh. For me around 190 pounds even I was loading with 15 grams every day for a week, and mantaining with 5 grams a day afterwards. I had tried more than that previously but it didn't make that much of a difference for me.

i stick to around 3 grams pre and post workout after loading
