I've tried it on and off over the years. I've gotten stronger with and without it (I lift competitively as another hobby). There are different kinds: Ethyl Ester and Monohydrate. I only tried Ethyl Ester, which is supposed to be better, but nothing's really conclusive on creatine results for strength training.

At this point, I don't really think it's worth putting money into... I guess if you can get it cheap and want to give a shot go ahead, but you should make sure your diet and training routine are very solid first as those will make a much bigger difference than worrying about creatine.

lol did I really say all that back then?

Anyways. Okay, I was wrong by saying it isn't natural. I guess I just meant that I didn't approve of mass gain through Creatine, it seems like the wrong way to go about it to me. You'll have the beach body, but will you actually have the strength?

Monohydrate will give you results of looking bigger since you retain water. To keep the size drink about a gollon of water per 1 1/2 hours of working out (heavy weights). If you want to lean up/tone just a good protein drink will do ,Stay away from muscle milk! that will bulk you up. even the light version is full of calories. Amino acid is essential post workout. Good luck.

If you are lifting an hour or 2 a day and going with alot of reps... creatine will swell your muscles up and you will be bigger. Not stronger.. just bigger.. Bigger is nice but its not worth all the stomach cramping to me. It made me feel like i was gunna bust outta my shirt.

it's poison don't touch it. stick to the good ol' proteins.

You are ****ing stupid. Creatine is a natural organic acid, so no, it is not a "poison".

Is it worth taking? No because it doesn't do **** so it's a waste of money.

I won't even bother speaking in a way that requires intelligence to you. I'll just say that you're very good at being in your level.

I bet you've only learned what Creatine is half an hour ago through wikipedia. [rofl]

You achieve this with every post; I see no reason to finally announce it now.

uh... creatine does work.. it wont work if you dont know what your doing in the gym.. it hydrates your muscles... it works alot better if you add glutamine. Anyone that says it doesnt work was using the cheap **** or really never had any dedication in the gym to find out.

There are thousands of 'natural' substances that are toxic and many which the body does need are toxic in excessive doses.

You sound like one of those idiot hippie greenies (which I know you're not) who are against 'chemicals' without realising everything they eat is just made of different arrangements of chemicals.

I would agree that it does work to some extent because your muscles work better when they are hydrated... It doesnt make you strong but a bit more endurance... TBH though the side effects such as water retention under skin, dry skin, dodgy stomach etc. are not worth it IMO... Just keep supplements to a minimum and spend you cash on good food tbh... It is better

Try some heavy barbell, guaranteed to work.

Creatine, correctly administered (Body needs to be saturated with it.) gives you an extra 5-10ish% of weight and 1 maybe 2 extra reps.

Doesn't sound a lot, but anybody who's been to the gym and done more than just waving their arms around will know most of the gains from weight training come when the muscle is fatigued at the end of a set, and the more you push out the last few reps the more muscle damage is done.

Damage is a good thing, as the repairing process makes the muscle stronger, which if you are strength training is entirely the point.

Anybody getting spots or bloat on it really need to have a word with their supplier.....

[dayclaccikere]

the first 2 weeks of saturation is the worst but itll make u look huge.. and thats really what its about.

Its even worse when you stack whey protein with it [surrender]

Thats what I did!!! Eating 6 meals a day and 4 shakes a day with 3 creatine shakes.. was hard makin myself get all that down.

3 creatine shakes?!?!?!?! I just drink one preworkout. You must of went thru a canister every week and a half. I do 4 shakes also. (breakfast, Pre, Post, Bedtime) I should cut the serving size down from 12 to 8oz but banana and cookies and cream muscle milk is so good!

Fat and bloated is what it'll make you look like, which is the LAST thing anyone wants to look like. Ripped is what most people would want to look like I assume? Not some big fat bloated waster?

[bertanu]

yea fat n bloated if you do all weight training and no cardio... hour of cardio then hour of weights every day..

[gkruCRi1]

I guess it all depends on what you are going for. Coming out of high school being 6'3" and weighing a buck fifty, all I wanted was to put weight on in any conceivable fashion.

You're using the wrong stuff.......
