I read a few past posts about not using creatine pre contest due to bloating…is this true? To me it seems if it brought just intracellular water that it would just make the muscle fuller, not bloated…anyway, this summer my priority is lookin good shirtless, I am at about 8% bodyfat, 19 years old, 203 lbs…haven’t used creatine for about 3 months and was thinking about adding it back in but dont want to look ‘‘bloated.’’ I never thought I noticed a huge difference in ‘bloat’ but I would like to know in general what the consensus was on this anyway. What do you all think?
I’am round the same bodyfat but about 50 pounds less (skinny fucker that i am). I just loaded creatine and feel more cut. Try loading for like 2 days and seeing how you are. I think the bloat you’re refering to is stomach bloating which some people feel when they take creatine.
