Right now, I just take 5g creatine about six hours before, preworkout immediately before, and drink a protein mix after my workouts, but I read an article about optimal creatine use ane now I’m wondering what everyone elsr is doing

    This is my opinion. Timing intake is a low value, high effort task.

    I’d rather first focus on high value, low effort tasks. Then low value, low effort tasks, then if I really want to optimize I’m finally at low value, high effort tasks.

    By the time I reach those tasks it’s likely I’m beyond diminishing returns and I should apply my focus elsewhere.

    The only additions I have :

    1. What I ate yesterday is going to affect my workout more tha anything I can eat today.
    2. Timing is relevant if it upsets your stomach during the workout, beyond that ignore it.

    TLDR, stick to solving other high value tasks, meet your macros, forget about timing.
