Thanks for the responses... i found the interview. My apologies, I lied about the creatine dose Berardi recommends. It must have been a different interview by somebody else where I heard 10g/day. Berardi recommends 3-5g/day. In this interview he talks about why he thinks 4-5g of protein per kg body weight is justified.

I'm not sure the exact date of the interview... but here is his ideas. He has an interesting perspective. If you have time check out the interview, I'd like to hear some responses. Its kind of long interview so if you want to skip to the protein section of the interview its at about the 1/4th mark, and the creatine section is at about the 3/4th mark.
