anyone use creatine? howd it work?? do you loose muscle when you stop taking it even if you continue to workout??

Re: creatine
 

You don't gain "muscle" when you take it or lose "muscle" when you stop. It's a waste IMO. It just makes you hold water so you look bigger. :l

Re: creatine
 

you think protein shakes are better?? i want something to help with muscle gain, but done wanna loose it when i stop taking it even tho i will still be working out. and no i dont want roids.

Re: creatine
 

the best thing to do is just eat food that is good for you, and eat alot. i eat about 6-8 times a day, usually rice, chicken fish, salad etc. N 0 explode actually thins ur blood a lil bit and makes feel stronger, doesnt acutally make u stronger or gain/lose muscle. i lift like 3 times a week, each day only doing certain parts of the body and for certain durations of time. once i feel that i am stronger i either increase the amount of weight, or due more reps

Re: creatine
 

Take a multi-vitamin and whey protein. Then start eating lots of good protein (chicken, fish, lean meats, etc...) and don't be scared to carbs, just eat the right kind.

www.bodybuilding.com is all the info you need.

Do you get money every time you post that link?

Re: creatine
 

I should lol. Back when I was going to college and working tech support part time I spent all my time reading homemadeturbo.com and bodybuilding.com at work, so I learned quite a bit about turbos and bodybuilding that year. :)

Re: creatine
 

just eat a lotta protien like they say above. chicken and fish are the best
CHicken<----- one of the reasons why im so big, I LOVE KFC!

Re: creatine
 

overated. I stop using that ---- 4 years ago.Just work out eat alot and sleep 8 hours repetivley :1

Re: creatine
 

LOL. Same here Pat. I owe everything I know about cars to Honda-Tech.com and Homemadeturbo.com, and what I know about working out, etc. to bodybuilding.com

What a great site, you learn so much valuable stuff on there, tried and true, what a forum should be about.

These are the only three websites I visit.

I haven't read up much on it, but my roomie just started taking "green bulge" which is from what he said the creatine replacement, so I don't think many people use creatine monohydrate anymore. He is stacking it with "white blood". I haven't looked into green bulge or white blood very much myself though. I think he pretty much just wasted his money because he eats like ---- and doesn't get enough sleep, so I don't see the point of him taking suppliments. For a beginner just focus on your diet, whey protein, a multi-vitamin, and working out hard. Most suppliments will work better if your on a good diet for a while anyways. I also feel if your not on a proper diet or getting enough sleep working out is a waste of time.

Re: creatine
 

creatine does make you retain water, but It also helps with a little energy at the end of a set. Your diet is the most importanat thing. Eat a ton of protein, and enough good, slow digesting carbs. Most people can't eat enough protein in regular food so drink a whey protein shake 2 time s a day. Take a multi vitamin. Once you've been working out for a while look into some supps to help where you need it.

Re: creatine
 

Nice. I have heard Green Bulge, and White Blood was a nice stack.

I just finished taking Green Bulge actually. Its a 30 day cycle. I got some pretty nice mass gains, but it didn't really give me much strength.

Remember people, Diet accounts for 80%, VERY IMportant.

Speaking of which, I need to clean mine up hard, O0

Re: creatine
 

if your not building muscle, your not pushing yourself.

Re: creatine
 

I take purple-k... i like it..

more creatine in the body = more atp = more anaerobic energy...increased my strength significantly which allows for higher weight which means better hypertrophy which means bigger muscles......

but i consume like 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight daily... thats important
