Its ok. . does kindfa work but its a great deal of water weight. . .better off using protien shakes and eating ALOT. . .

[percysnow]

it wont hurt. . it will give u a little help, but it's just expensive

[Oregon chief]

The stuff is great. Your recovery time is drastically reduced. Although it did make it hard to run, my calfs would tighten up.

[Simply Red]

Big jism shots if you're on it.

That is all.

[Simply Red]

Drink lots of water with it.

Did your jiz shots come out solid?

I remember when you were 80 lbs and drove a really crappy GM product.

Memories....

Now I drive a honda and weigh 170, what a turn around from 3 years ago!

[Simply Red]

No not that I recall. Jis has been okay since I was like 15 years of age. On an unrelated note; one may gain substantial cramping in muscles if a person was to snort the creatine minus appropriate H2O consumption.

[kepp]

I used it a few years back. Ate a lot and worked out hard. I put on 15-20 lbs of muscle in about 6 months. It wasn't all because of the creatine, but it sure seemed like it helped.

SHIT! It wasn't the Creatine that created the monsterous jism-shots. It was the Andro!

[percysnow]

for real if ur gonna start with all that shit,. . .might as well do a low dosage of some sustanon or something. .

[Pushead2]

It's ok, it's most noticeable trait is definitely the recover time I recommend the NO2 Ce2 stack. Muscle -Tech makes really good Creatine as well.

NO-Shotgun is way better than the NO2 stacking, and costs less too

I was being serious. . this creatine and all this over the counter shit is not approved by the FDA. . juice is created by doctors and if taken correctly will have good effects. . .and dont say its cheating cause so is creatine. .

i would take two routes
food and excercise
or juice.

creatine is a waste of money and doesnt do much. .

Ive been working out for 6 years have tried everything under the sun. . I went from 150 to 205 (muscle) it takes TIME. . nothing unless juice is going to give u long term results in less than a year. . and it also takes devotion and DIET. . .eat right work out andf ull be fine. .

[Mecca]

Just make sure you drink lots of water or you'll become dehydrated very quickly.

I used at 1 point and I'll say this.........it doesn't taste good so when you drink it you'll make great faces.

I don't think some people want to inject themselves with steroids.......

So this stuff makes you gain weight and retain water? I wonder if somebody slipping it to me in my diet coke.

well do some research there is a grweat deal of danger with creatine as well. .

Dude juice has sugars and carbs which eventually turn into fat.

I just don't think Orange/Cran/apple juice are true benefits for weight shape/gain/trim etc.

Ohh, roids. :banghead:

It's still nothing like steroids unless you have bad kidneys or take half the container in 1 day.

One of the many regrets I have from my time with Testatropinol...

Take it from a guy who's been there, done that with "supplements" that you've never heard of: Just eat the right foods. If you don't want to go hard-core (and you don't, trust me) then you aren't going to get anything useful from the supplements that you can't get out of eating right.

Generally supplements work by overloading your system with a given chemical or compound so that your body has ready access to all that it needs. Problem is this works because you take in way more than you need. When you have a bunch of something in your body that it doesn't need then it is either stored in mass quantities in your cells, sometimes becoming toxic, or your kidneys work overtime getting it out. Neither of those is healthy.

Now, you're going to hear guys say "oh, I used Product X and it really helped". First, they have a sample size of 1 which is beyond statistically insignificant. Second, I'll bet I could have fed them flour in a clear pill and they would have sworn by it. Any gains they did get likely came either through the placebo effect and/or through increased workout and diet regimen in order to make sure they got all they could out of the uber-expensive supplement they were taking.

Just say "no". The stuff that does work has profound effects on your body's chemistry and your long-term health.

I can't believe I'm going to defend the product that I regret most having ever taken...

Steroids aren't bad across the board. Our societal distress over steroid use caused me to wind up using some half-cocked s**t NOT under medical supervision and is the reason it turned out bad for me. Had it been legal for me to get an effective and low side effect boost from my Dr. I would have.

The reason people get into trouble with steroids is really two-fold. They don't understand the realities and use too much. The second is that the stuff that's easy to get and effective is the worst s**t for you. The stuff that isn't going to have long residual effects is in high demand, so the average high school student winds up taking Winstrol-V or some horse steroid that tears you up.

I tried some decent stuff....and what killed me the most is that my joints couldn't keep up with how much weight I was lifting. So I would get done lifting and my joints would be killing me for the next day. It worked for building muscle....just put a lot of strain on my body that I didn't need or want. I stick with just eating right and working out now.

[el borracho]

I have used the powdered creatine monohydrate, marketed by GNC. While it is difficult to say how much credit the creatine deserves (at the time, I was absolutely religious about eating and lifting), I would say that creatine can be helpful. Specifically, it is marketed as a way to increase strength, decrease recovery time and add bulk. All of those things occurred while I used the product and I would certainly credit some of that to the creatine but, again, it is difficult to know how much credit goes to the creatine and how much credit goes to the other factors. It should be noted that creatine can upset your stomach.

If you decide to use creatine I would recommend that you use only a small dose until you see how your body is going to react. I would also recommend that you emphasize all of the following factors in your routine long before you start using creatine:

1. Lifting smart- There is no sense in taking any supplement if you are not lifting properly. This means lifting effectively and intelligently- not just intensely.

2. Diet- There is no sense in lifting anything if you aren't providing your body the proper nutrients to recover and grow. Read about nutrition specific to bodybuilding and learn how to eat.

3. Mindset- Don't laugh, but your mindset is a powerful tool to growing stronger. You must be commited to growing and you must believe you will grow to get good results.

A hardcore lifter will probably laugh at the gains one gets from creatine. I got my max bench up by 20 percent, but I was like "so what". Then I wondered why I was wasting my time lifting weights at all.

[PastorMikH]

If you are wanting to bulk up quickly, I have found that Pizza will accomplish that much quicker than the protiens - you don't even have to work out as much.

Pretty much took the words right out of my mouth.

Most people get on supplements because they aren't getting big, but most of them aren't eating enough. Personally, I will never, ever put anything in my body except protein. Supplements make me very nervous.

Why on earth would ANYONE come to a Chiefs bulletin board and ask for serious/knowledgeable advice about creatine?


Creatine is safe and is found naturally in all beef and alot of other meats. I have used it religiously for years and have had NO ill effects whatsover. The newer CEE (creatine ethyl ester) works great and doesnt give you the added water weight that monohydrate does AND its easier for your body to absorb so you get better results. For me there is/was a noticeable gain in strength with the CEE, this along with a good diet and good routine is a great combo in my opinion. For better advice and more detailed info go to a good fitness site and do a search on creatine. Good luck.

[BigCatDaddy]

I highly recommend Cell-Tech. You can find it on Ebay fairly cheap $40/month and it will put 10-15lbs on you quick. 1 of the few things I ever tried over the counter that worked.

I certainly didn't want any serious answers - I'm already in the know on the subject. Just curious to see the responses.

[BigVE]

Cell-tech will do the trick, if your cheap like me you can get powdered CEE and it will cost you a fraction of that. Its DOES TASTE bad but its not the worst thing I've ever tasted.

[scorpio]

Creatine isn't FDA approved because the FDA doesn't have the authority to approve or disapprove supplements.

Do eat some more dianabol, Einstein.

There's a great supplement for that! Shark bones or something.

Not saying it isn't safe, but there are plenty of things naturally produced by our bodies and found naturally in foods that can be harmful if taken in very high doses.

Takes water from your body and fill you Muscles up with it,my buddy wasnt hydrated enough and he was on it. Had a stroke and he was only 15 because of it. You have to drink alot of water if you use it.

I agree with all of this. I had issues sleeping though, even while taking it first thing in the morning.

[Ecto-I]

I've used creatine two or three separate times. Save your money. It does provide some strength gains, but if you stop, those gains slowly diminish.

For a recreational weight lifter (ie one who is not training for sports or competition) the only supplement I would recommend is Whey Protein. All of that other stuff is incredibly overpriced and the "gains" you'll get from them are not worth the money you're shelling out for the product.

I agree. The more you can lift, the more people will ask you to help them move stuff.

As a big guy, it's amazing how many friends I have when they need help moving. It's equally amazing how many friends I had last month when I was moving.


(FWIW, there will be A LOT less help from me in the future when my "friends" need help).

Creatine is not the way.

I got ripped by just eating right (protein heavy foods) and drinking lots of water. You don't need supplements to gain muscle. You feel like you accomplished something, as well, by not taking supplements.
