To load creatine or not?

[Syringer]

I've been off it after about a month's use, now I'm going to get back on..but should I load or not?

Why not? It's cheap as dirt.

 

[Syringer]

Because it might not make a difference?

Well then there's your answer.

No, you only load the first time. 1 month isn't long enough.

I've heard that loading vs. not loading both will give you same creatine levels down the road. Naturally if you want the highest creatine right away you should load.

As mentioned it's so freaking cheap now you might as well load. I haven't used it in years but I'll probably go onto it later this summer once I lose another 5-10 pounds and I plan on loading.

It's so cheap, why even bother wondering? What, you're going to save a dollar by not loading? Of course your body is going to get saturated with the creatine eventually... question is, do you want it to be done in 2 weeks, or in a week?
