How should the loading phase of creatine be taken if i only workout every other day?

i read something online that said you should take the loading phase everyday for a week but they said that creatine washes out and u piss it if u dont workout with it? what should i do, should i change my workout routine to like chest and triceps one day then shoulders and biceps another? help...How should the loading phase of creatine be taken if i only workout every other day?Well it really depends on what type of creatine you bought and how much money you have.



If you bought some designer stuff that runs you over 40 bucks for 30 servings...I don't know if I would want to take that so much on my off days because of the wallet impact.



However, creatine loading refers to the first week you take the product, you double the dose to %26quot;kick start%26quot; your %26quot;cycle%26quot;. If you have some mono-hydrate, just add two scoops insted of one, and yes take it on your off days.



As for the every other day workout, if that works for you, that's great, and its good that your even in the gym in the first place.



However for me, and many of my fellow body builders, we train at least 5, 6 days a week.



As for workout routines, well that's something that can always be debated. Some people do splits, some do one muscle a day, some do muscle sections, its all about what you feel effective with.How should the loading phase of creatine be taken if i only workout every other day?Yur body will absorb it in the loading phase until your bloodstream is concentrated with it.



Take it once a day on non workout days, and twice on workout days, then cut down to once a day after loading phase is done, about a week or two.



Once your blood can not absorb any more creatine it will be flushed out since you are not using any during the workout and its already at maximum concentration





My only critique with this is to say that someone who is taking supplements when working out should probably going more than every other day because you will not see great results every other day.
