I have ran one cycle and going to run another one soon. During that off period regardless of cycle history is creatine really a good supp to take. I only really take it for the extra weight but of course this weight is all water which I usually hold an extra 7 pounds or water. I look more full but the problem is I don't look hard. If I stop taking creatine with two weeks I will look noticeable smaller but more defined. Besides the extra strength you get from creatine is it worth taking and if so how long should I cycle it? Sometimes I cycle creatine for 3-4 moths straight at 5gs a day before I take 2 to 4 weeks off. I do get plenty of red meat in and creatine levels always show high on blood work
