Creatine is a salt, thus the volume in the muscle because you are retaining more water. Even lifting, while the muscles repair, you can retain more fluid (blood and water). Mark McManus has some great info on low carb weight lifting.

He likes to cycle his carbs, with as much weight as I have to lose I won't try that until I am much closer to goal weight. He also has a free e book with a lot of info. Hope this helps..Bru

I can attest to this from experience. Its not about the quantity of reps, but the quality!

I started seeing notable, consistent gains once I started doing low reps/high weight. With higher reps, the "gains" were slow and sketchy at best.

Quantity is not all useless. Grant it, we spend the majority of our time training at 85-100% 1RM, but where my 12 year old daughter is concerned, with swimming, we spend an equal amount of "time-under-tension" from 1-5 minute intervals so that she can maintain strength throughout an event. Strength, power and speed are good, but maintaining that for more than 30 seconds is another piece of the overall pie.
