20-30g on load phase and 5g on maintenance
Pretty much this; can go lower on load phase if the phase is longer
I actually use 7.5 g daily, just because I believe in supersaturation (the old Arnold theory). That's 7.5 pure creatine, which is a 15g scoop for most products.
Some people get the runs with creatine, in which case malate is often recommended.
N.B. creatine is better absorbed with some carbs; concord grape juice ftw.
e: and, love of God, don't forget to hydrate. Something like 750-1500 ml, and I recommend taking creatine pre-workout and getting some of the fluid when you take the creatine and the rest as you workout. nn to feel bloated.
