anybody ever use creatine?

[kobe4threebang]

is it a good idea?

 

[nyybaseball423]

I personally stick to Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Supplement which tastes good and does the job but if you insist on taking creatine, MAKE SURE YOU DRINK A LOT OF WATER. By a lot, I mean for your 8-10g serving of creatine, you should be drinking a gallon of water.

I owe my water drinking habits all to creatine when I took it back in high school

My friend did and I didn't. I wasn't for the idea of taking it but we pretty much did the same workouts and ate the same things health wise and needless to say after a month he was noticeably bigger than me. He stopped taking it and so far no side effects but I am still iffy about taking that myself.

don't take creatine if your only a casual lifter, cause you will get fat...since most ppl don't know how to lift, i'd suggest you take something else...like muscle milk

This.  I take the same exact product, planning on buying the Platnium version of it when my 5 pound tub runs out.

i should've said gives you the appearance of being fat...creatine allows you to lift longer without tiring out easily...it also allows you to retain more water...if you continue to take creatine and not lift enough, you will walk around with extra water weight...you won't be able to see any definition under the water weight, thus giving the appearance of being fat

ON whey and casein together will do you good

I swear half of you are idiots.. why are you talking about ON WHEY when CREATINE is something completely different its not a name brand just come to the fitness thread and let us educate you

 

[the technodrome]

Nothing wrong w/ creatine, its water mass build up, you have to take it in cycles, and just because I say cycles people freak out and say oh am I going to get side effects? Yes, if you abuse it but not side effects as anabolics or testosterone, you have to read into these things and see what works best for you because just taking it from word of mouth is just dummy status

AND to the dude above me he's right, people just saying oh you have to take it if your an advanced lifter or you have to go to the gym alot is not true, its about goals you want to achieve once your in the gym, and you and only you have to assess what needs to be accomplish because its your body and your goals. Those suggesting ON Whey Protein as opposed to Creatine are idiots cause they ARE TWO different supplements, and those casually saying just take Muscle Milk are the same. Why? Cause if you read a lil Muscle Milk is probably the worst protein supplement you can take and overpriced, READ EDUCATE YOURSELF don't just take it or listen to blind comments online, including mine, read up on what you wanna achieve in the gym and see if the supplement best fits you and what you want to gain out of it.

Yea I agree with cronic, the fitness thread is dedicated to things like this... but imo you shouldn't take creatine if you've just started weight lifting or you just want to get big fast. To me you won't look right if you don't have a good training regimine and diet along with the creatine.

I've been hitting the gym religously for the past 2-3 years and I still don't find the need to take creatine just yet. I will though but only for a couple months for strength training. I say just eat some good cuts of beef a couple times a week because it has the highest creatine content in any food to my knowledge but I could be wrong about that.

Techno is absolutely right about muscle milk as well. there just a big name there are much better supplements than muscle milk.

Go check yourself into the fitness thread.

Lolwut?
I have been taking creatine for 2months already and whey protein isolate for over a year. Lost fat, gained muscle definition, and have seen no water retention.

Foods contain creatine, if you take it as a supplement and are scared of any side effects then just take it in moderation; people acting like creatine isn't natural.
