shagar69 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Since i came to college this year, i have been working out a lot, almost everyday. and recently i began thinking about using creatine to supplement my workouts. I have read that it is safe and widely used. Do any of you guys use creatine and if so what is the best brand and is it safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 creatine is perfectly safe as long as your drinking plenty of water or else your going to get some hellified cramps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, my main goal for wanting to take creatine and even working out is just for appearance basically. I just want to be bulk up and basically have visible muscles.

LosMediasBlancas Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Does anyone know if you should cycle creatine, or is it something you can just stay on, like protein? If I understand it correctly, creatine is produced naturally in small quantities by your body, so it seems like if you stayed on it, your body would quit producing it.

I havent taken creatine in a long time... but I know that when you start you have to drink like 4 or so drinks with it in it for like the first two weeks to get it into your system and then you just take it with your workouts.. IIRC you just take it till its gone with your workouts, but I havent taken creatine in like 6 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I used the EAS Creatine suplement, and it works. You feel the extra reps you can pump out, and you see the water stay in your muscles for awhile. I always heard you always want to do three months on, then take some time off. I agree with using protein supplements, that's the easiest way to gain muscle, I think you're supposed to take a gram for every pound of muscle you have every day. Find a workout routine that fits you too, don't go in there with no game-plan, you could be working against yourself and having s***ty workouts.

That's a good point, supplemets work differently sometimes on different people. I've heard guys say they get bloated, puffy and look fat on Creatine, I've heard them say the same about Andro. A lot of it probably has to do with their diet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
