I think most of it goes away in "a few hours", but I suppose if you're really defined, you will see it for longer than that. I'm surprised you see it for a "few" days (which, in my book means 3 or 4 days), but anything's possible. In any event, you're not seeing hypertrophy immediately after a workout. It takes a long time to build up real, permanent muscle size. Creatine levels build up in the body over a period of a week or so. So I don't think you're seeing any <i>immediate</i> results from your creatine supplementation. If I knew how to bring on hypertrophy faster, I'd be wealthy! Good luck!

Two questions: 1. Is Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy fairly temporary, while myofibrillar hypertrophy is more permanent (with maintenance of course)? After working out I usually look bigger for a few days and then it starts to go away and I always thought that this was "swelling", but you say that it only lasts a few hours, so it must be sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. I also only use creatine right before and/or after workouts - could that have something to do with it? 2. How long does it take for hypertrophy to kick in vs. the initial neuro-muscular (I may be using the wrong term here) gains? Is it a matter of time, a matter of number of workouts or a combination? Are there ways to bring it on faster? Thanks Hi,

cheers dan
