I only use it when training hard, otherwise, you might as well flush it. Anecdotally, I feel I can squeeze out a bit more and I am not as fuzzy during the activity. I can't speak too much about how I feel during recovery or muscle growth. I do body weight, boxing, and range of motion and coordination drills with kettle bells and medicine balls.

Creatine has benefits for brain function as well, people who weight train are not the only people who benefit from it.

Yes definitely helps me feel clear or on my mental game. That was why I mentioned fuzzy. I now think this is why a steak dinner does sort of the same for me mentally when I just have steak with no carbs, veggies, or sweetened drink.
Definitely this. I started for weight training but now keep a baseline 2.5g/day for the mental benefits.
I'm recently hearing about benefits for bone density and even elderly women are taking it now.
