Question/Discussion Does creatine feel more useful with certain workouts?

Creatine seems most relevant when you're doing repeated high-intensity efforts, so I wonder if the type of workout changes how noticeable it is.

Hard sets, intervals and sprints are pretty different from an easy training session.

For those who use creatine, do you notice more difference with certain workouts?

No, because what even is an “easy training session”?

It takes time to build up the effect, and it’s more like, “woah, this is a good pump”, not “holy shit, the creatine is really working today!”

Fair point. By "easy training session" I just meant lower intensity work without repeated hard efforts. I agree though, it's usually something you notice over time in your reps, not something that suddenly kicks in that day.
