Before anyone flames, i have read alot of the articles about creatine and i understand what it does , increases strength and musclemass by storing more energy and pumping more water into the muscle, or something along those lines. I was going to start a creatine course tommorow however im now worried i will look fat, due to the 5-10 pounds extra weight gained from the water. My bodyfat is around 12% or so, will this added water mass make me look fatter or more muscular? thanks.
You will lose some definition from extra water weight. You will also look more muscular.
I used it, I didn't like the extra useless weight but I did like the help it gave on strength gains. I don't use it anymore and get on fine without it.

You could just gain a few pounds of water weight, or you could gain 5 or more. Depends how you do it and what your body is like. Everyone's different. I wouldn't bank on keeping visible abs though, unless you were 10% or below.
no it will not as long as u drink plenty of water
in my avi i was three months into a creatine cycle and my abs were still very visible. so no you will not lose your abs. just drink plenty of h2o.

Lol sorry but this is true.
And I take creatine. I retain a shootload of water, because I drink alot of water and have a high sodium diet. It makes me feel and look bloated but that is ok I still like it.
