HAI, DO U RECOGNIZE ME OP ~~~~~~~~~


Serious though, great thread. Measly reps for you OP.

[Cervinskas]

everywhere i read online tho besides this thread it said dont take creatine take whey protein instead because creatine builds up muscle fast but once you stop taking it will just start fading away ? and it mentioned something like creatine was closely related to roids aswell ?

am currently working out 6 months have seen great changes and i'm currently trying to put on some mass,so would creatine be a good solution to that ?


by the way i'am not on any sort of diet,dont eat sweets or drink fizzzy drinks tho


cheers

When you stop taking creatine the water that you are retaining will disappear but the muscle gained will remain. I suggest that you read the first page before trying any creatine supplements

Nah creatine is pretty much harmless brah. It WILL make you retain lots of water in your muscle cells thoughs. Making you larger than normal, people say keep hydrated, but you'll be hydrated 24/7 with all the water you'll be retaining. Don't worry it'll go away an you'll lose that extra bit of mass once you get off of it.

The pros to creatine is it gives you an extra boost of strength an let's you lift bigger an harder than you normally would. Although you'll lose the water mass you will retain all the muscle you build while working out harder than usual.

I'm gonna try out gold standards mono hydrate creatine 20 bucks for 120 servings. I'll tell ya how it goes.

Edit: Just noticed the fact that you were 17, supplements are not intended for use of minors and could possibly have adverse affects on your health. Just a warnin I thought I'd drop in, but overall if it's just creatine and whey your takin no harm should come to ya brah

lol you are only a few months older than him

[FourierT]

good read op (srs) now rape me.

[shortharry01]

wow came in expecting another boring read backed by basic Bro scientists bs research. Looks like youve done ur work, GJ. I will recommend this link to my buddy im training in two weeks.

rep me tho.

[SOLIDOPS]

Good stuff...was worried about my increased whey/protein intake.

What about stims?

[BecauseImStupid]

A lot of old stuff, but did learn a bit as well. GJDM. Will be sending this to a lot of people who ask me questions.

[awithey]

Definitely going to show quite a few people this thread when they have questions.

Thanks

Nice write up. You should get this stickied.

Everytime I buy a new supplement, specially a type of protein, my parents and friends usually end up taking crap saying how its harmful and useless. At least now I have hard facts to back up my claims.

I really liked the creatine section though, really indepth and I learnt things I had no clue about, example: prevention of muscle catabolism.

Whats your view of Scifits Kre-Alkalyn 1500. I know its not creatine monohydrate but how useful is it. I had people telling me all sorts of good things about it and that I it can be taken all year round.

Btw, how did you come across all this information OP? Just curious

Oh and bookmarked

[Raulcl]

Posting for future reference.

Will read thoroughly later when i get a chance.

[Hnnggh]

Read it all. Will rep on R/C.

[54m0n6]

I read this before. rep me!

[Vindervar]

Read your sticky before. Still awaiting reps.

[BrohemianRat]

came in expecting not to read and just skim
ended up reading all of it and it actually helped with some things. ty op.

[broshifstalin]

Tiny reps for info on protein synthesis - can now throw more than bro science at people

[gregmcclure25]

Awesome thread, cant believe i've not came across it before!
defo will help when people try to come at me with broscience
thanks OP

[KineticWolf]

Just want to say thanks. The effort put into this is amazing. Showed it to my parents who have been at my throat for taking things like creatine or protein in powdered form just because they've never heard of it or "got by" back in their day without it. Bodybuilders don't just 'get by' in life. Thats why we are the way we are. The concept of just getting by is so ridiculous to me. How and ever, this post really help me explain the safety etc of such supplements. Thanks a lot

[Dhboy]

Took me almost 2-3 days on and off to read through all of that but the information within it is bloody excellent.

Thanks alot.

[kingreyez]

good info. people think im hurting myself with supplements

[pdxplorer]

This is really helpful, you should throw it in a downloadable PDF. Thanks a ton!

[Cheezo]

kre alk is creatine mono with baking soda (soda ash), its fine to take but its not superior to reg mono. the only reason people notice no bloat from it is because its a smaller dose, they were taking too much before hence the bloat. but you can take any creatine year round really, but if you are saturated you only need 2-3g on workout days or everyother day. no need for every day. and lots and lots of reading on pubmed thanks again for reading it

what would you like to know?

[Mullahz218]

Dat post. Very helpful indeed, enlightened me quite a bit.

[Stormtron]

read it, good info, actually glad you used citations. Hopefully i can use this as a compelling argument to be allowed to take creatine at home.

[MrCoggeshell]

Way better than I anticipated. I've not read it all, but will finish it at work.

[Canuck4]

Nice work OP. Tons of good info. I was just debating with a friend the other day about someone on a high protein diet getting a kidney stone. I said it wasn't related to diet, he disagrees. Some research I will have to keep for the future. Thanks.

65 overweight individuals on a high protein diet showed no signs of kidney damage over a 6 month period. Keep in mind, this is a good sign considering obesity is generally accompanied by impaired function of the kidneys. [18]

[Pittsburghh]

ive heard creatine and caffeine wrok against each other

sounds ridiculous but is there any truth to this?
