Q: Mike, when I take the day off from the gym, should I still take my creatine and protein? Thanks.

A: Yes, you should. Your body is repairing the muscle tissue on your off-days and it needs the basic muscle building blocks -- protein -- to do so. And by continuing to take creating on off-days you make sure that its levels in the muscles are always high. If you don't take it for a couple of days, then you'd need to go through the equivalent of mini-loading phase before the next gym day. In short, keep taking both on off-days.
