I've been taking the stuff for about 2 months now...and it really helps build muscle when combined with hearty workouts.
My friend told me that it has no side effects and is produced in your kidneys anyways, but I would like a second opinion. I drink it as directions specify, and dont abuse it...so can I be in danger?
if u drink alota milk or dairy products you should be fine the only side effect with creatine is decreased bone strength but dairy takes care of that
if you want muscle mass "quickly" and safely, consider using protien drinks.
If you are patient and want to do this in a tradional way, try eating lots of eggs and chicken (high protien meals). :)
I have never taken creatine and won't try it but that is just my opinion.
same here the most ive done is protien drinks. But whats been working for me as of late isto eat a big protein meal like u said eggs chick just stuff my self full. Then goto the Gym and work out for a few hours. The come home stuff my self full again and fall asleep. Its starting to give me alot more mass and the working out keeps all that from becoming fat turns it into muscle and cuts real nicley.....
yeah same here (a few years ago!). Now I am doing more of cardio workout to reduce the mass slightly and for more definition.Quote:

I don't do intensive weight training anymore as I used to. :)
out of interest, how old are you and how long have you been training?
I would stay well away from Creatine if I were you.
Not that I'm an expert or anything like that but I know that when Roy Evans was in charge of Liverpool FC, the players were told to use creatine to help them train. A lot of those players working with him went on to suffer horrendous injury problems throughout their careers.
Robbie Fowler, Jamie Redknapp (my team's captain, although you'd never guess it, bloke is ALWAYS injured :( ), John Scales...all were fine before Evans took control. None of them have been the same since.
You don't want do this stuff then possibly suffer for it later on in life, its not worth the risk in my opinion.
I read one of the side-effects of using creatine is that you 'smell funny'. god knows where or how but it was on a bbc write up about exercise. Protein powder in soup is a winner I hear

exactly. this is the #1 reason for not pumping yourself up. you are going to have to keep up your regiment for the rest of your life, or you are going to end up like meatloaf up there. go for the triathelete/swimmer body, not the shot-putter.....Quote:

I was just about to back out of this thread, as I was finding the topic more and more boring, but I'm glad I stuck with it to the end to see that.
:D
I thought the reason Bob developed big jugs was because he had his testicles removed and thus lost his testostereneQuote:

not because he started slacking on his workouts.
still you have to admire that rack ;)
Creatine made mosez's wiener smaller.

like a dead heat in a Zeppelin race :)
I would say you would be best off getting a doctors advice as a second opinion. I know creatine is a banned substance in many professional sports as not that much is known about it's long term effects.
I would steer well clear and work out the old fashioned way.
I actualy just started a few months ago im 19 im a pretty lanky guy so i decided to bulk out a little bit. 6foot4 is too tall to weigh 160pounds.

If you put on a REALLY big pair of boots and turned to the side, you'd look like a golfclubQuote:

I suggest going to
www.bronzebowpublishing.com/forum
and ask John Peterson this question. He's a big health guy and has used a lot of different muscle building drinks.
http://www.bronzebowpublishing.com/images/PushBookL.jpg
He's 51 and does handstand pushups with a 50 pound weight vest on.
I can't even do a handstand :(
if i ever look as stupid as that guy, please shoot me. who does he think he is, a bounty hunter? if you don't actually need the muscle, don't grow it!
50 lbs in 2 months?
that possible, i mean thats not far off a pound a day!
10 000 calories, jeez bet an elephant don't go through that in a day.
makes mental note: never invite bobybuilder types round for dinner....
Actually, it's a pretty common amount for anyone who works out regularly. Durring Cross Country season for me I eat about that a day. You need it because you use up all of the energy durring your workout. No one eats like body builders.Quote:

There was an advertisement last week for a show where they featured a man who lost 200 lbs in one month. They showed him jogging without his shirt on and there was so much loose skin flopping about about. It was disgusting.:scared:Quote:

oh how sick.
B*tch tits are an effect of steroids, not creatine(which is not a steroid). So is penis size decrease.
Makes your bones weaker eh rebbel? Well...I cant drink milk in big amounts(doctor's orders)...not until I get my tonsils removed at least.
Maybe I should go on that handstand pushup guy's site to get better advice...I suppose not too many flashers work out.
I heard creatine messes up your liver, similiar to an alcoholic's of 30 years!
:eek:
That I wouldnt be surprised about. Your liver does generate the stuff, but it does in order to help your muscles expand. You're only aiding it...but excess, like anything, it could cause problems.Quote:

A Blue whale is the largest mammal and beats an elephant for size easily.
Now as for those two in a fight...
You'd have to go whale. That tail is massively powerful, tag the elephant with that and game over.
Plus, elephants aren't known for their swimming abiliesQuote:
