Anyone actively use creatine?

[DrOctagon]

Yes, it's in my weight gainer. I drink a serving before and after my workout. It's alright as long as you drink tons of water. And I wouldn't use it for more than a few months in a row, depending on how much you're taking. Sorry, can't give you more info than that.

I cycle 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Currently on my off cycle. I did notice a difference after just 4 weeks.

It made me piss like a race horse, and it wasn't just because I was drinking a lot of water

all in all stuff like this is hugely over-used by the ameuter weight lifting crowd. I think its really only worth the money and time if you are really serious into weight lifting


I would just suggest checking out Mark Rippetoe (google him and look at his 5x5 starting strength program in particular) he is known for adding 30 pounds a year on most of the guys he trains. Do that on a regular basis and have a fairly decent diet and thats all you really need

I've used it a few times, and it does work. Usually I've been able to add five-ten pounds to every set on big lifts (e.g. squats) and two and a half-five pounds to smalll lifts (e.g. barbell curls) while keeping reps the same or, sometimes, a few more reps.

Great pumps too

Ultimately though, it comes down to cost/benefit: It's safe and cheap. What have you got to lose?

that stuff is for pussies, go all natural.. your body will thank you later in life

creatine = for shitty weight lifters who just pump their guns and have puny legs

Everytime I start working out again I wait for at least one month of steady working out before I touch the stuff. By doing this, I make sure I have hit a small plateau (sp?) before putting it in my system. I ALWAYS see a major difference after 2-3 weeks of using.

It's really simple science. It enables your body to pump longer and harder, which rips and tears your muscles just that much more. Great stuff!

Good idea.

Do it. I gain like 5 pounds of water weight when I'm cycling it, and I get a real bloated face and chin, but when I cycle off, I've made measurable gains in strength and size. I do hate the bloat though.

It is probably the best gainer out there besides steroids. Creatine however, can not ever be compared to a steroid. Steroids will make you grow freakishly large in a very short time, but have all the side affects and legal issues. Creatine will not make you grow freakishly large, but it will make you see results when you look in the mirror, usually within six or seven days after first use. However, the results are not long lasting if you discontinue usage. it's good for getting a little bit bigger for a trip to the beach or something like that, but the results will decrease in a week or so after you stop using. It's short term, quick, but non lasting gainer.
