Man who's taken 5g of creatine every day for a year reveals what happened when he stopped for a month
- After a year on 5g creatine daily, Pierre Dalati stopped for a month to see the effects on his body and performance.
- He observed that strength declined and the muscular 'fuller' look faded during the off-month, while gains remained partially preserved.
- Dalati says there were no withdrawals and that creatine generally doesn’t cause dependence for most users.
- Results typically show up after two to four weeks as muscles saturate their creatine stores, according to Dalati.
- Dalati reported improved recovery and endurance during creatine use, with more reps before failure.
- After stopping, Dalati noted a decline in strength and a less ‘pumped’ appearance, but not an immediate muscle loss.
- Dalati noted that cognitive benefits from creatine varied, sometimes stronger with sleep disruption.
- Dalati said he did not experience widely reported side effects and noted the primary benefits occurred during the first weeks.
- Dalati emphasizes that results depend on diet and sleep, affecting recovery and endurance.
- The report references LADbible as the source of Dalati's account and related lifestyle content.
