Should I take creatine when cutting?
I say yes. I think the water retention is over exaggerated. And even then, just dehydrate yourself when you want to show off
No, creatine makes you gain a lot of weight.

No stupid.
What's the fucking point?

Dehydrating yourself on creatine = an increased chance of death.

people joke about creatine is just a meme to spot newfags
creatine, i have been using it for 3 years and its all good
Creatine stores water intramuscularly(in the muscle) not sub-dermaly(under the skin). Though it makes you gain a small amount of water weight it does not make you look fat.

Yes, just dont dehydrate yourself. Creatine stores water intramuscularly, so the water weight isnt an issue. It will make you look better if anything.

>implying a cut is supposed to reduce wight not fat
I was wondering basically the exact question of OP. Decided to lay off the creatine for a moment and then get back on once I have formed the habits needed to be successful on a cut (IF style) already been off creatine for a few weeks so I would have to go though loading again which I'm content to leave for a few weeks anyway..
Make up your own mind OP, probably doesn't make much odds but it might slow down a cut but make it easier to keep your gainz IDFK, lol
So should we just stick to BCAAs only when cutting?

lol wut in the actual fuck is this? It looks like a black version of the guy from Game of Thrones.

Probably best not to worry about it. Yep
>Nice digits tho
The only reason not to use creatine on cut is if you bloat and you're going on stage. Even then, you'd only drop it like 2 weeks out or so.

chnces are that if you are taking creatine you are around 15% bodyfat already. like some other anon said, yes it does retain water, but the bloating is a myth. unless you really have to drop a specific amount of weight there's really no reason not to. i'd say to just take it and see how it goes. if you stick to your caloric deficit you will lose body fat either way. oh and just drink a lot of water which is always a good idea anyways.
