Creatine - Thirst!

[CrabDan]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!

I bought seven 2 litre bottles of water on Sunday, and I've smashed all of them since.

Anyone get major creatine thirst? This is mental!

Normal effect.

Long time since I've done training but iirc the muscle cell growth is mainly from water... water it will take from your vital organs.

Very important to keep hydrated when on creatine, keep a bottle of water with you all day and keep taking sips.

Also Creatine makes your kidneys work harder than normal, using up your body's water supply...

Drink tap water. Exactly the same but you don't spend money.

If you're going to use glass bottles instead of dumbbells, try not to drop them after each set. Use plastic bottles, they bounce.

You've already had sensible answers, sorry

Ordinarily yes, but you haven't seen the state of the plumbing here.

Ironically, got p*ssed tested for drugs today. I've never worked so hard to produce such a tiny amount of urine!
