[pct-l] creatine monohydrate

[Chris Anderson]

I used to use creatine years ago back when I was playing ice hockey.  I can attest that it does make you retain water, since as soon as I stopped taking it, i pissed off 5 lbs.  I don't have any way of remembering how well it performed as far as helping with energy and rebuilding tissue since it has been some 15 years since i took it, but the added weight was nice because I was one of the smaller defenseman on my team.

Has anyone ever used creatine on the PCT?
I'm considering it for the following reasons:

1) rebuild tissue after exertion
2) energy
3) WATER RETENTION !!! (- a side effect I think would be a benefit,
especially throughout the desert sections)

PS.
There's a "loading phase" (5-7 days of taking a dose 3-4 times daily with
250ml water) So, should be completed  at home (prior to entering PCT).

Thoughts?
