Creatine "bloating" isn't actually bloating. Taking cre-mono increases water absorption and retention in the cells. If you want that shredded pre-contest look with all the striations, it may not be the ideal thing to take. Short of that, the water retention you get from creatine should be desirable because it's very beneficial. Aside from the fact that it causes your muscles to swell and appear larger, having sufficient water in your cells means that they're in an optimal condition for what you want. It fosters a favorable environment for energy output, then followed by recovery and making gains. When your cells are swollen with the appropriate amount of water, they can operate at peak efficiency.
