    First Post– found you through BulletProof guys…thanks for work:So, I started the creatine protocol recommended in the "Ultimate Guide..." 28g/day for me... getting ready for crossfit open... pulled a muscle doing burpees on 2nd day of creatine. I almost never get muscle "pulls." Could it be partly attributable to creatine? Not blaming the protocol--- I have been training very hard, and I was a tad overtrained. Just wondering if the creatine increases chances of strains, or if I need other nutrients with the creatine. I know there is a lot of "stuff" on internet about creatine and strains-- but always assumed that was because guys were going up too fast in weights. May be my imagination, but I fell generally more sore and "tighter" on creatine, but hopefully cause I'm growing muscle!Great community, thanks!Thanks for any tips, I know there is a lot of "stuff" on i

    You might feel 'tighter' due to creatine and holding more fluid.No, creatine will not make you more likely to pull stuff.

    There's also a lot of stuff on the Internet about crossfit and strains/injuries.  It's no secret that crossfit sacrifices form for speed and more reps.  Just take a look at their “pull-ups” for example.

    +1.... And i believe if you haven't taken creatine before there is a loading phase (or so it is said) where it take about a week to fully feel it's effects.  This of course probably depends on the TYPE of creatine you are using, as there are so many different kinds.
