In reply to mostafa.

As said in the article, the rule of thumb is to use an average of 2 g / day.

Here are workout plans for all experience levels:

In reply to Marko. Yep, drinking more is a good idea when you use creatine. I know of cases where people developed compartment syndrome when they didn't have enough fluid while using creatine.

I notice the weight feels slightly easier with creatine. although I end up drinking more water to make sure I don’t dehydrate, meaning more trips to the bathroom. I think it would be useful with runners as well. I don’t run.. because it’s not fun for me, unless playing a sport. but creatine lets me run and bike slightly longer before my legs feel spent.

In reply to John.

Well, if during wrestling you repeatedly want to lift your opponent straight off the ground, you might be able to do it one time more 😉

Seriously, during wrestling you rely on strength and that means you have to work out to get stronger. Any benefit creatine will have on wrestling is via that route. Jiu jitsu is mainly about speed and dexterity, so I don’t see a lot of added benefit there, if you don’t couple it with resistance training to improve your general strength.

What do you read about creatine supplementation for wrestling/jiu jitsu?

In reply to devil. Well, if your workouts are better with it, then it is working, ain't it? :)

In reply to evilcyber. Evil, At this point I would like to say that creatine has for me more motivating effect than nethn else. fuller muscles, better pumps. But can't say much about weight progression. P.S. Great article thought.

In reply to Will. Interesting question, Will! I have zero research to back it up, but my hunch is that the added strength should outweigh the added weight from water.
