You sure m8? According to some in the media protein shakes and creatine made Elliot Rodger go on a rampage.

"he correctly stated in the paper that there were no significant differences between taking creatine pre-workout or post-workout. It was only when they used what's called "magnitude-based inference" that there was any evidence that post-workout might be better than pre-workout."

Had a google of magnitude-based inference but all I was greeted with were novels and I didn't exactly feel like delving into them.

The article actually argues taking 5g before and 5g after with his anecdotal evidence to back it up. I'm not sure if this is simply because 5g seems to be the norm however and it's effectively doubling the dose or if the same results would be produced in splitting it up into 2.5g pre/post. There just aren't conclusive results out there.

Either way I don't think I'd end up taking 5g before and after, 10g total. While I think 10g is still safe to take (imo the evidence for how much you can safely take isn't proven either), the potential risks outweigh the potential gains if you know what I mean.

My container literally says 6.2g twice a day and recommends a maintenance cycle of 4 servings per day for the first week of use.

I don't think 10g is even close to a dangerous amount?
