I would not call creatine a recovery aid.
I agree

Quote:
I'm also not sure that I would say it reduces DOMS. Although DOMS is a pretty specific-to-the-person phenom.
It is specific to the person, but because everyone has the same basic physiology, everyone can experience it.

Quote:
I would also say that DOMS are not an "if A then B" scenario.
Why not? It will happen repeatedly under the same conditions.

Quote:
There are more factors than just weight lifted that contribute to DOMS, and thus trying to say that creatine reduces them would be... a complete guess at best.
I agree with the first part, but everything happens for a reason. Rest, conditioning, diet, etc would all factor in. I'm just saying that it's one aspect.

I need to go find the damn Creatine FAQ thread.
