Is there a max limit as to how much creatine one can take?

I've always thought the loading phase was just a way to get you to use up your creatine faster so you have to buy more. The whole saturating your muscles sounds like a crock. If you're using mono just go with 5g pre workout and 5g post workout, can't go wrong there. If you piss out some of the excess who cares unless you are using that expense crap that is mixed with kool aid mix. Get yourself the cheapest mono and take 10g a day split between 2 doses and thats it.

I agree...I like pre and post training doses as well

It is a waste to load. I have never loaded and im always fine. the whole concept of "loading" is idiotic, either way if you load or dont your gona end up with the same amount of creatine in your muscles.

loading just speeds up the process slightly by maybe a week (being fully saturated)

it may be slightly wasteful, but it is SO CHEAP, so what's the big deal?
