So I got it in pill form. It says how many pills to take according to which body weight section you fall into. What it says is to take 3 pills about an hour before your workout and another 3 six hours later. I was under the impression that for creatine to be effective it has to be taken every day during the so called loading phase. But since I don't work out everyday should I still take it or is that pointless?

Loading = normally twice the amount intaking in the first week or so. How much is in each pill, and please tell me it's not CE2.

this is a great list... I'd add caffeine and green tea also, proven benefits and cheap.

lose ~5 lbs of water weight, and maybe not be able to pump out that extra few reps.
I like to cycle by using in the winter and not in the summer. That way you lose a little bit of that padding when you want to run around naked and whatnot. Then in winter just put it back on and hope for a little bit extra in the gains department.
