anyone used creatine?

[nfl2k2]

I'm going to be buying creatine (serum) soon an I'd like to know if anyone has used it and what you have to say about it. thanks.

I used it for a few months (pharmacutical grade powder) at first I couldnt believe the results, I was worried about getting stretch marks. It did not increase my strength though and it's effect seemed to diminish as time went on.

If you lift hard, then there's a good chance that you'll notice a difference.

It didn't increase my strength much, but it did help me to push harder. On average, I could do one to two more reps of my maximum sets.

I noticed a difference when I stopped taking creatine. It's one of those things that you don't really miss, until it's gone, so to speak.

I used it for a couple of months and decided it did absolutly nothing for me
tried both the phosphate and monohydrate versions
if you are serious about lifting and want the body of a viking god and have lots of cash use rHGH
human growth hormone
I trained for over 6 months trying to get rid of a bear belly and get washboard abs taking shots of chorionic gonadotrophin to boost testosterone
it was really hard work and results were slow in coming
then I took rHGH and WOW
I never felt beter in my life I could work out really hard and then be ready to work out again in like 10 minutes
my muscles grew every day(everyone noticed that I looked different everyday and my classmates keep asking me if I was on roids)
That was about 4 years ago I was only on HGH for 1 month(I couldnt afford any more)I took 2.5 mg shots every other day
I did not notice any adverse affects except that if I ate something really sweet it kind of made me have a small panic attack(but I got those anyway)
I got the abs I wanted and all the girls at my school drooled over my picture(I love the attention)
unfortunately I did not keep working out and have a belly again
but if you are serious and dont have any cancer or diabeties give it a try,I would if I had the money and I might do it this summer
it costed me about 210$ for a 5mg vial (2doses)Humatrope is even more expensive I cant remember the brand name of the one I used but I could look it up in my PDR if your interested

[nfl2k2]

well, I'm going to take it over the summer, it's the serum (liquid). I'm taking it for high school football in Augest. It's $40 per month, which I can afford so I'll give it a try for one month.

erm dont use human growth hormone
unless u dont really care about ur health
Creatine is great
powdered form is good as any and the cheapest

Winners dont use drugs.


I think a lot of these things are like Fools Gold, you gotta be really carefull about what you buy. The rather inconclusive anecdotal evidence on offer can be misleading. It is a very ropey market that throws a lot of impressive sounding science in your face, however, in reality sometimes you are in effect taking a placebo. It is very much buyer beware.
But listen to this...
I eat healthily, I dont take any supplements and I do regular exercise; my muscles get bigger, and I get fitter. Every so often, I find that I can do an extra few reps. After working out for the first few days/weeks, I find that I can comfortably add a bit of weight on to what I am lifting, until such a time as I dont really want lift any heavier.
So, what would I be like now if I had taken supplements when I first started working out? £xxx, worse off, that's for sure.
I spend my money on things that are value for money... like fast cars, fast women, cocaine and Cuban cigars.

yes, but I've been a 2 month slump, my max's haven't gone up at all. I weigh 170lbs, heres what I am stuck at-

bench - 225
squat - 330
incline - 190
clean - 183

like I said, these haven't changed in 2 months, football conditioning is coming up and I need to be benching at least 240. I weightlift 45 minutes every day (in my weight class) and half an hour at home. Since creatine isn't illegal or anything, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try.

[mrtristan]

If you're looking for something to push you over the edge, then creatine should help. Whether it was purely psychological or not, I did notice a difference. Bottom line is, I saw results, while using creatine.

Is there a particular reason why you need to bench that much by football season? A bench is hardly a good gauge of your actual strength.

I've used it and just make sure that you drink a lot of water because you get a really sry mouth
