The Creatine Bloat
Creatine is by all means a great supplement to support your muscle growth but it’s not without it’s drawbacks. Creatine pushes water into your muscle which can cause them to grow in size. Though this can be a great thing, sometimes it can result in water retention if your muscles don’t absorb the water. It’s the reason that many pros start to decrease their creatine intake a month out from competition so they can avoid the bloated look on stage. It doesn’t mean you’ll get fat, but you just won’t look as hard and shredded, particularly if you’re taking large dosages. For those who do get bloated it’s best to decrease creatine consumption between training sessions and only use a moderate amount during a workout.
