Agreed.NinjaSauce said:So... wait.
You bought it... It worked. And when you arn't using it... it doesn't? OMG SHOCK.
So you are saying that he should stop using it all together, because it WORKS, when you USE it, but DOESN'T when you are NOT ?
(Also, you don't need to cycle Creatine, or do a 'loading phase'. Just a heads up. That is old school.)
As for it not working when 'when you're not using it', that's even a typical fallacy. Creatine can be beneficial for bulk gain and if you lost all gains you made after you halted usage, then it's time to look elsewhere for a reason.
I took Creatine for 2 years (and a bunch of other stuff) but I've been off that stuff (aswell the rest of my supplements except for whey) and I've managed to keep the vast majority of my gains accomplished during my creatine days.
Oh, and Creatine often results in increased water retention.
