Thanks all.

I'll stop loading at the lower amount then, and move on to maintenance.

Hi all,

When I read about creatine, I usually see a recommended 20g x 5days for loading (i.e. 100g) and maintenance after that (with 5g/day).

But I just got this Now Sports Creatine Monohydrate...

Interesting points.

I actually thought the currently prevailing theory was that DOMS was exactly due to microdamage of the muscle fibers, i.e. exactly what leads to the desired muscle hypertrophy....

Why are lunges so effective? It always amazes me how sore my legs get after doing them. Three days ago I did 300 walking lunges and I can hardly walk by now, due to DOMS. My questions are:

- Have...

Interesting points.

Is anyone aware of a single scientific study showing that protein supplements (beyond a balanced diet) actually facilitate muscle growth?

I find it interesting that protein...

I never thought of that, but sounds like a good idea! And yes, I'm definitely going for lean muscular rather than big muscular.

Ingenious.

That was insightful and helpful.

Seriously though, does meat have anything beneficial in meat I'm not getting already?

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out whether I should supplement with protein powder. Can you please advice me on this?

I am a vegan who's trying to gain muscle without gaining fat. I already...

Any thoughts about whether it's a good idea to train twice a day, everyone now and then?

I've been doing various sports and some moderate strength training for the last decade and it seems my...

Okay. Then I will try counting. But what's wrong with this (simplistic) logic I've been using:

Eat less than you feel like and you won't have enough energy to drive muscle growth (e.g. quickly...

These articles were interesting. I'm lowering my target to +10 pounds to be more realistic. And adding 10 pounds more in the two months after that. Hopefully the creatine can help me along if my body...

Yeah. The caliper may be off a few percent, but the error should be consistent over time. So if it does show 0.7% less in two months, I should be able to have faith in that. Although in reality I...

I actually eat quite a lot, but I'm a vegan so it's pretty low-fat & low-caloric all of it. I just want to be as ripped as possible, so both gaining muscle and losing fat seem to paths to achieving...

Two things I would like to understand:

1. My ******** Creatine glass says that I should take between 2.25g and 3.75g creatine for maintenance. But everyone on these forums say at least 5g for...

Thanks all,

I'm doing my best and will see how far that takes me. When these two months are over I'm going to set a new goal for the next two ones. Hopefully, I'll know better what my body is...

How normal is it? 5% of the population? 10%? 50%?

Do some women have it as well?

Hey all,

Do you have any tips on how to make asymmetrical abs more symmetric? See my pics.

Thanks

Hi newbie,

Can you tell me how realistic it is to go from 165 to 180 lbs in two months? I'm supplementing with creatine, eating healthy, and working out 5x a week.

My BF% is at 7.2% and I want...

Hi all,

Newbie here.

I've never used any supplements for my training, but have recently been reading a lot about creatine and concluded it looks safe and somewhat effective. I was especially...
