make sure you have a five day loading phase for your creatine "cycle!"
How is that "broscience"? Plenty of people have done that (myself included) and it's yielded great results, usually for first-time users.
First time I loaded with it, I gained 7 lb in a week and 12 in 2
1/2 weeks. That was back in 1996.
I haven't replicated those results, since them. Again, that tends to happen with first-time users.
