I've been taking 3 Grams of Creatine along with 2 Grams of Glutamine and 54 Grams of Whey Protein on my workout days. It's a premix of the protein I use. There is definiately a need to make sure you are well hydrated due to the little bit of extra water pickup by the muscles. I'm certain I carry at least 5 extra pounds of water due to the supplement. I too am middle aged but work out very hard in the gym.
I don't think I can point to Creatine for the forearm muscle pump while playing golf. The increased blood flow to forearm muscles would be directly related to the amount of effort used in holding on to the club or maybe something else.
What causes the forearm pump? Squeezing the club, pulling a cart, carrying a bag, shaking your fists... .
Just curious.
