 Fill up your muscles with water, and that helps it rebuild the broken down tissues that you may break while lifting. And then also, when you're taking that creatine, you need to be taking it every day, no days off. What it does is it builds up in your body, and if you stop taking it for at least three days, it's going to start going away. So make sure you stay on track of that, and you're getting the right amount of grams in.
