Thanks for the input! I do try to eat a banana before practice, as it helps with cramps in my calves.
My swimming isn't really endurance. I don't go in and swim for an hour straight. We do interval sets. Like 4x100's on a descending pace or 8x50's hard with 15 seconds rest. Or with a bit more distance sets like ladder sets
1x25
1x50
1x75
1x100
1x150
1x200
1x200
1x150
1x100
1x75
1x50
1x25
So we do aerobic and anaerobic work... so would the creatine work? I checked the label and it also has leucine, arginine, taurine, alpha lipoic acid, phenylalanine. And the creatine's are the monohydrate and phosphate kind?
As for the 5 lbs of water weight gain: welcome to my life, once a month every month for the past 28 years.
