creatine doesnt work directly, it works by allowing you to do more reps and therefore have the potential to gain more mass. 35g is ridiculous

How much you take doesnt matter on the gains, make sure you take enough though, the extra waste just goes to your kidneys. I dont even take 35g's a day when I load, jesus christ, it aint a miracle drug.

I have used creatine befor and am just going to start again till I am old enough to start roids. When I take creatine I do the loading phase(15-20g a day) after a week and a half I just take 5g a day and it works for me.

ps, I take it in warm water to dissolve it faster(It tasts like shit, but it works.)_

Give it some more time when I took creatine for the first time I didnt see any results until two weeks. Try taking in more water or mixing it up with some grape juice but 35g a day is to much.

If it's only the piss pot then you are lucky.
Sometimes too much creatine will give you
the squirts. Give it time - you'll notice
an ability to do more reps after a couple
of weeks if creatine works for you.

I don't think the 'more is better' thing works with creatine like it does with steroids. Try drinking a high-sugar drink about 20 minutes after taking the creatine, that should help with absorbption.

Remember that creatine only acts to make your muscle tissue appear larger because the muscles are full of water. Use it as directed (maybe 5-10gm daily), drink water and LIFT WEIGHTS.

everyone reacts different to creatine forntunetelly i'm one of the super responders to creatine. I strated to take cell-tech with extra dextrose 2 times a day and I have gained 13 lbs in 1 month and I don't even look bloated I look more cut . But other people I know makes them look very bloaded . In my opinion if u have a very fast metabolism u should be taking your creatine 20 grams a day with alot of dextrose. with a faster metabolism u will look bigger and more ripped but if u have a slow metabolism u will look bigger but bloated. If u are a super responder to creatine u should start feeling results the second day u take it
