When I come back from gym after leg days I'm tired in the rest of the day and It takes me 2 or 3 days to recover...that's why I'm gonna start taking creatine.

For me the biggest benefit I noticed about creatine is how fast I recover and also how I get less fatigued while working out, also the pump is a little better but that's most likely because of the water weight. Like you see in the video creatine is not for everyone so make sure you pay attention to how your body responds.
Related to this, I believe, in combination with cialis I developed an inflamed tendon in my dominant bicep. I later partially tore it (twice, yeah I'm an idiot).
@@fka5883 Me personally I didn't take the 20g of creatine the first week since I already have gastrointestinal problems so I just did the regular 5g daily, and make sure you don't go above 5g maintenance after the first week of 20g if you decide to do it. I also recommend intaking 10-15 g of creatine the first week instead of 20g to prevent any stomach problems. As for how long?

Thank you so much, I kinda felt sadge because I don't really respond to caffine, already have a bad case of hairloss. Thought, I would not respond to it. But I'll definitely try Creatine soon!
I’m 46 and been training on and off the last 30 years. I didn’t do the load up but just took 3g daily and after 3 weeks I’m seeing improvement. I look more cut and definitely have more energy. Also haven’t experienced any stomach problems.
I took 3g of creatine for 1 WEEK and i took a wet dump 3 times a day for 1 week, but after 8th - 9th day, my stomach bowel went to normal and I gained energy lifting
@@bobbill300312 is an impossible feat for the MAJORITY of people. I’m quite fit, but I ”only” get around 20 *clean* pull-ups, and around 4 muscle-ups in a row. Don’t overestimate other people and underestimate yourself. If you can do that many clean pull-ups, congrats, you have excellent upper body strength.
I always recommend to don't do loading and just do a steady 3-5gr and load it slowly. I've been taking it for about 3 months and have no negative side effects
I have to agree with you 💯% . I am taking 5g each morning before gym. My workout session is boosted well after I continue for a week or so. With no side effects. Cheers to all
To avoid side effects I began taking Creatine Monohydrate several weeks back at a 1g/day dose. I saw the gains that told me it was working. It seems that even a small dose can have a big impact. I definitely feel like I have experienced the same shoulder widening too. After 3 weeks I did not notice any negative side effects so I increased to 2g/day. I've not noticed any significant improvement after the dosage change so far but I'm going to continue taking it and paying attention to my body.
Nice. I actually buy mine through Protein Factory. I do like how Alex Rogers breaks down how we shouldn’t buy just your average Creatine here in America since most are made from China. I bought mine before they were completely sold out in Germany. And this was the creatine monohydrate 1000 grams 200 servings pack. Sadly they sourced a company from China but have done done testing and continue to test the product from China. I love this website because Alex has done so much research in products that are made and has proof that products bought here in USA are not what they seem! Best gains to you!
@@brunotangerina I bought this supplement. But I'm afraid of taking it because I'm genetically predisposed to the hairloss. How should I take it to avoid spike in secreting DHT level in my body?
Wo this is a very useful topic for all the beginners take creatine for 30 days and keep it up and keep up the wonderful work as always and take care Keep smiling always
First 2-3 weeks taking creatine I instantly gained around 5-10 pounds across all my exercises. Truly the best supplement out there for weight training.
I’ve been taking creatine for a few days and already I’ve noticed my recovery is much better, almost to the point where I’m wondering if I’m still working out as hard as usual. I’m excited to keep using it.
The skit near the end made me laugh so hard! Great job Jeremy thank you for explaining the adverse effects and how to properly saturate your muscles. Been a subscriber for a while man you look fantastic!
Just got done with week 3.. love the results and I didn’t have any stomach issues. I play tennis and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my explosiveness on the court.
I am 162lb 5'10 and 90 days back into the gym. I am taking creatine, HMB, and 200g protein a day via isolate, salmon, eggs, beef, etc (I am a grill cook). I am already curling 40lb 8reps, benching over 125 8 reps, and 280 on my leg press. I worked out hard 3yrs ago before falling off, so muscle memory plays a role here as well, but I am bigger and stronger than I have ever been at almost 40yrs old. I have always got a crazy pump from creatine, but this is my first time taking it consistently (I used HCL in the past, monohydrate this time around). The best part is I feel amazing too.. it seems to really help my energy levels and stress tolerance at work in the evening. I am far less snappy, more sociable, and feel overall well. Zero hair loss, kidney levels are fine, and no noticeable stomach discomfort I would attribute to taking it. Be prepared to drink tons more water and piss often.
I’m 74 and started back at the gym a month ago. All I hope is that I recover a little faster and perhaps am able to progress faster. I’ve been pretty dam sore so far.
I started lifting 6 months ago and took creatine. I stopped for financial reasons and saw a drop in strength of roughly 30%. It makes a HUGE difference and was honestly pretty frustrating. Now I'm loading again and can't wait to get those big juicy lifts again.
what bro? financial reasons? just a tip: every creatine monohydrate is the same no matter what they tell you in ads etc, buy the cheapest one trust me there wont be any difference.
44 y/o taking creatine for 4 months and consider myself an advanced lifter. I did not do a loading phase, just 5g per day and it was very hard on the stomach! Took me weeks to get that sorted out and ended up lowering the dose to 3g per day to ease the BM issue. I did gain weight in that time but never felt bloated. The biggest benefit I noticed is bench went up and achieved new PRs. So I decided to continue taking 3g creatine daily going forward. If you are already into training it can improve your performance but it is not a miracle supplement that will suddenly make you looked jacked.
I'm a high responder and started 6 weeks ago. I am quite well trained but apparently always used to eat too little and mostly vegetarian (vegetarians are often high responder due to is eating less meals that naturally contain creatine). I gained about 2.5kg and it's all in my muscles. It's really visible too. I love it
For me creatine is a great supplement. I'm a woman in my thirties and I'm not in particularly good shape due to life circumstances. Creatine gives me energy and makes me recover faster. It feels like I'm not at the 'appropriate fitness level' to use this kind of supplement but the truth is that it helps get there.
I been taking 2.5 gram capsules for 6 months I've gained muscle in my biceps and forearms and chest My legs are huge but I'm a basketball player and never worked my arms out in fear of messing up my shot. For 3 months I didn't use creatine Then started using it and 6 months later the results are amazing Never thought I would gain muscle so fast with some dumbells
I took it on Wednesday after pull day because that's when it came in the mail. Thursday was yoga day, so I didn't feel much. Friday push, and I was able to push myself without exhaustion to the point where when I was doing planks, I couldn't hold myself up. Also, I did a 5-minute 5speed, and I hardly felt exhausted. I noticed it at work, not being tired at any point of the day, and when I did legs right after, I was a man possessed. Doubling my weights and not feeling exhausted but my legs were wobbling. which I finished it out with a 5min 5speed + 1min 6s + 1min 7s + 1min 8s. 1min 2.5s. I wasn't exhausted other than my breath telling me I can't go any further. I FUCKING LOVE CREATINE. I even noticed my body looking better within these 4 days. I can't wait for what 30 days bring.
Although I did not experience significant strength growth, but I felt much more energized and could do much more reps. Because of that I added a superset per each day at the end, which I for sure wouldn’t be able to do before. Although I take creatine blend, so I am not sure how much of that comes from creatine itself.
Hey i don't know if this is a dumb question but i just bought some creatine is it normal for it to have 49g of sugar per 80 g because that sounds like a lot

Stop scaring people in the comment section. I have been using creatine for just over a year now and have noticed 0 hair loss. I'm 26 and as you can see from my pfp and channel I still have a full head of hair.
@@GianniCarpino I am speaking from my personal experience, and there are hundreds or thousands of people’s experiences with creatine causing hair loss. Creatine is useful, but it is not a miracle, and you can improve without it.
@@serrioton1858 You can use creatine, of course, if you want my honest opinion, and you may be surprised by it. I find that many of my colleagues and friends in the gym focus a lot on protein, creatine, energy, and caffeine supplements before exercising. However, most of them cannot exercise with me on days when I exercise with high intensity and heavy weights. Rather, I focus a lot on nutrition, and every 6 months I buy a vitamin B12 and iron supplement to enhance my sexual ability, especially in the summer. 1- My biggest secret is to eat a whole meal of chicken and 5 whole boiled eggs with the yolks two hours before exercise, which gives me explosive power during exercises. 2- I train with weights only 4 days a week, and I dedicate one day to stomach exercises, push-ups, kegels, and running for half an hour. 3- I never masturbate or watch porn films.
How much you taking for this to happen i am starting and only take about once a day with a shake. Since i eat meat and that has it to. Your own body makes it but since i am 42 it makes really little of it. @---bk4lg
Lost so much hair from taking it on two different occasions. Don't care what those sellers of creatine say about lack of evidence for it. There are so many individual anecdotes about hairloss that it makes me shake my head when people don't believe in it.
@@leandromartins2936 First time I took it for several months and it just took me a long time connecting the dots. Last time for only two weeks. My hair has never looked the same since.
How you respond on Creatine depends mainly on your meat consumption, since meat is a valid Creatine source at around 0.5g / 100g for most meat variants. So if you eat a lot of meat, your creatine storage is more or less saturated already (depending on your genetics as well), thus low effect on additional Creatine intake. Also you don't have a loading phase, this is old science while new research suggests to just stick with lower amounts and have nearly the same impact. Vegans will see the most benefits from it, since they only have their naturally produced Creatine in their body.
I've been taking 3 grams of creatine with protein powder and 5 ounces of black coffee for the past 2 weeks as pre-workout. During the 2 weeks, I stopped taking this mixture for 2 days. I actually felt really tired half way thru my workout routine. I'm back on the creatine, protein and coffee mixture. My workouts are much better. I'm doing more reps and lifting more. After workout, I take my usual protein shake with 3 grams of protein.
I would not mix creatine with coffee Jeremy even said in the video, that there are studies showing a decreased effect and more side effects of creatine whne taking in combination wihh caffeine Just take it at some time in the day hwne you aren't drinking coffee. Creatine does not need to be used as a pre workout right before the training! Creatine is not a pre workout
@@xXHuanSohnXx The complaint caffeine thwarts creatine is just another presumptive urban myth. I take them together always which greatly increases my bench stamina.
I'm 15 (16 in 29 days) male weigh about 130lbs 6'1 and I workout decently consistent at the moment I don't have much access to a lot of equipment but I know that my curl PR id 40lbs and I just started the loading phase of creatine 3 days ago and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes!
I had to let go of creatine after three months because I was having too much cramps, to the point I was waking up at night. A few days without creatine and I was fine. People can say what they want, this is not for everybody.
You rock at showing the truth and science. So I trust this is in alignment with the goal. At 7:13, your measurements seem to be inconsistent for his shoulders. Day 1, the video shows you measuring an inch above the beginning of his axilla. Day 30, you're measuring at the line where his axilla begins. This is significant because the lower you go, the more of his arms we get in the measurement. The more of his arms that find their way into the measurement, the greater the measurement will read.
Can you discuss HCI Creatine? Monohydrate made me bloat. My face was bloated especially around my eyes. Tried scaling back from 5g and even more water , no effect. Switched to HCI and no issues at all. Just wondering how the gains are versus Monohydrate
In a similar vein - ethyl ester formulations had much reduced dehydration side effects for me (stomach cramping and pain). Same positive effect, definitely sped up post workout recovery for sure.
Next time please also do pre and post 30 days test for the video and to show safety too. Blood pressure, Blood Glucose, Heart Rate, General Blood test and compare the two with a GP. If you want to get even more scientific, there are places that offer under water weighing, which is more accurate for body composition compared to other methods.
I started to use creatine and I was able to push through the 50kg 110lbs bench press and seems to keep increasing in strength now I’m a week in and hitting 132lbs on bench press it’s insane how good it makes me feel
I took creatine for a month and I start getting sharp pains in my organs randomly. I stopped taking it and the pains stopped. I don't think it's for me.
My muscles looked bigger but my hair shed like crazy when i went on creatine. Stopped after 6 weeks and my hair loss stopped/went back to normal, thank god.
Took creatine for 4 months straight my hair started to thin n now I have a bald spot stopped taking it and hair is growing back slowly noticed more strength and more lean at the cost of my hair
I started taking creatine after 3 years of working out. I heard it makes your muscles bigger, but since i had some muscle already the results were enough that even i noticed a small difference. And i don't usually notice such things since i see myself in the mirror every day.
30yo guy here. Haven't really done sports since high-school. Started back again, around 1 month ago. Bought creatine, did my research on how, why, when, then took it everyday, 1x in the morning, and 1x in the evening when eating. I'm also doing my work out at home, as I'm asocial, and I'm consistent at it. I'm litteraly not kidding when I say I was doing a solid 10 pumps on max efforts 3 weeks ago, and now I can go to 25 on one rep. In just 3 weeks. But tbh my routine is a bit hard, I'm forcing myself to include 50 pumps in my work out, in the morning, working legs, back and when i get back for work I work abs only. It maybe a placebo effect but the energy I feel when taking those is insane, even at work (I'm a chef cook ) during a break I sneak somewhere to do at least 20 pumps, real quick. It feels like I'm getting addicted to these, and I'm afraid it will stop or I'll loose everything if I stop taking creatine.
It's not placebo. It's the best harmless workout supplement there is imo. I played and play basketball, do high rep rare max sets like it sounds like you are doing. I haven't been as active the past year and a half but my sons are in 11th 6-3 170lbs starting wr and saftey ,varsity basketball starting sg/sf and baseball CF in the spring. Also 12th grade son 6ft 170lbs 4.64 40, starting QB and LB, varsity basketball start pg, baseball DH and PR and Track 4X100, 200m and 400m. We do a lot of work together and they are constantly putting in work with friends and with the team. I literally yesterday just realized I have never told them about it. Loading phase began today through Saturday then 3g pre and 3g post workout of any kind daily. I'm ecstatic to see the results. You'll hear a lot of bs but do your own research. Great supplement
Not really. Low rep, higher intensity, and shooting for maybe 85% of reps toward failure yields the same or better results than an exhaustion/step-down routine
I did the loading phase and had no side effects at all... Probably because I spaced out the intake throughout the day. Don't do what this guy did and have it all at once.. The biggest thing I noticed with Creatine is the recovery time.. Pretty much felt no aches or pain at all the next day after a workout.
6:25 he looks the same to me if anything a bit more hair on his chest (but that could just be lighting). I'm glad the measurements showed a difference.
I attest to the hair loss concerns. Creatine does accelerate Male Pattern Baldness over time. I used creatine for a year and noticed increased thinning and hair loss. At the time I was unaware that the creatine could be a contributing factor. In retrospect, I narrowed it down to creatine
To avoid side effects I began liquifying my creatine and feeding it directly into my femoral artery with an IV. that way the powder comes no where close to my hair 👌 10/10 would recommend
@@romaevt546 I actually changed techniques this week. Femoral artery wasn't a fast enough route, so I've switched to a direct feed into my spinal tissue. That way it feeds directly into my brain but misses what's just above it - my precious hair 👌 11/10 would recommend
i just started taking creatine becasue i have read and seen that in older men it can be beneficial in helping me recover and increase intensity of workouts and it seems to be helping thus far. I am not loading it, i've been taking 5mg daily for about 4 weeks now.
Loading creatine should be used only in special situations, if you’re already low in creatine or if you need a boost for a competition as an athlete for example. In most cases, you don’t need loading, especially if you’re a beginner. It will give you a boost in your workout if taken an hour before and help you recover faster.
@@DAZZLEREYESyou just start taking 5 grams a day and keep doing it. And yeah I also saw some recent study that proved taking creatine after workout is actually the most beneficial.
Creatine is not something that “kicks in” it’s something that is slightly noticeable in the background in terms of benefits once it’s saturated in your muscles.
During my loading protocol, I had some runny movements, but that was it. Instead of gaining weight, I actually lost weight and I’m already balding so hair loss wasn’t an issue. There may have been minor strength boost, but it was hard to tell. There is definitely muscle swelling, making me look bigger. I think the biggest thing I noticed overall was the recovery. I’m recovery much much faster. I’m using gorilla mind creatine and I’m probably gonna keep using it.
damn i just started creatine and been dealing with hair thinning for years, now im wondering if i should stop taking it cause im trying to get my hair back.
Out of curiosity has anyone else had the negative side effect of creatine being elevated blood pressure and hypertension? I've been taking it for 3 weeks and in the past 3-4 days I actually had to go to an urgent care center because it felt like I was gonna die. My blood pressure/pulse were elevated but an EKG and the doc listening to my heart said everything looked good and normal. They did acknowledge my BP was up but not in a range warranting hospitalization. But all the other signs of high BP (headaches, chest soreness, etc.) This has all come about so suddenly and I'm not prone to blood pressure issues so this has been quite concerning. Going into my 2nd day of not taking any creatine so, again, anyone with similar experiences I'd be intrigued to hear. Thanks.
Sounds scary! I wonder if it is a gastrocardiac thing. I have that. Gas and gastrointestinal distress can push on vagus nerve and diaphragm and give you everything from tachycardia to high bp
He doesn't. I'm a sculptor and illustrator and there is a lot of body compositional changes, waist went in, shoulder and pics more defined. For 1 month at his body fat percentage its a big change.
@@MadRedCarnelian he does look exactly the same, the miniscule changes are just lighting. Being an illustrator literally means nothing when there is really no difference at all
Unfortunately I am predisposed to male pattern baldness and I just stopped taking creatine because my hair thinned out extremely fast since I started. I only found out creatine could be a contributor to that a few weeks ago. In fact, for me this side effect was much stronger than the actual benefits. Now I kinda wish i never started using it.
I have to say my experiences over creatine. It's not a magic stick but for me only 3 supplaments are the best. 1) whey protein, 2)Creatine 3)Caffeine. Guys I have a sensitive stomach. I tried to 'load phase'' daily 20g intake but after one week I can't describe how hard a stomach pain I had. please if you decided to use creatine, just take dailg 5g for 3-4 weeks and drink at least 2.5 L water totatly minimum 4L liquid.
The biggest effect I noticed was that I could recover from leg day better. I went from being almost unable to use the stairs in my house to just being very sore.

Hi what about your hair is there any effect on hair
@@-Ravindrababu My hair is full as usual :P
Yeah i agree just be patient and take it slow guys
I have to agree with you 💯% .
I am taking 5g each morning before gym.
My workout session is boosted well after I continue for a week or so.
With no side effects.
Cheers to all
To avoid side effects I began taking Creatine Monohydrate several weeks back at a 1g/day dose. I saw the gains that told me it was working. It seems that even a small dose can have a big impact. I definitely feel like I have experienced the same shoulder widening too. After 3 weeks I did not notice any negative side effects so I increased to 2g/day. I've not noticed any significant improvement after the dosage change so far but I'm going to continue taking it and paying attention to my body.
At least 5g per day bro, there is no chance to have a problem with that
Nice. I actually buy mine through Protein Factory. I do like how Alex Rogers breaks down how we shouldn’t buy just your average Creatine here in America since most are made from China. I bought mine before they were completely sold out in Germany. And this was the creatine monohydrate 1000 grams 200 servings pack. Sadly they sourced a company from China but have done done testing and continue to test the product from China. I love this website because Alex has done so much research in products that are made and has proof that products bought here in USA are not what they seem! Best gains to you!
Waste of time
it’s been proven that creatine doses from 1-2g will have almost no benefit

First 2-3 weeks taking creatine I instantly gained around 5-10 pounds across all my exercises. Truly the best supplement out there for weight training.
I’ve been taking creatine for a few days and already I’ve noticed my recovery is much better, almost to the point where I’m wondering if I’m still working out as hard as usual. I’m excited to keep using it.

Creatine is a good decision and it's actually really not expensive because of low the amount of grams is you actually take
Just got done with week 3.. love the results and I didn’t have any stomach issues. I play tennis and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my explosiveness on the court.
I am 162lb 5'10 and 90 days back into the gym. I am taking creatine, HMB, and 200g protein a day via isolate, salmon, eggs, beef, etc (I am a grill cook). I am already curling 40lb 8reps, benching over 125 8 reps, and 280 on my leg press. I worked out hard 3yrs ago before falling off, so muscle memory plays a role here as well, but I am bigger and stronger than I have ever been at almost 40yrs old. I have always got a crazy pump from creatine, but this is my first time taking it consistently (I used HCL in the past, monohydrate this time around). The best part is I feel amazing too.. it seems to really help my energy levels and stress tolerance at work in the evening. I am far less snappy, more sociable, and feel overall well. Zero hair loss, kidney levels are fine, and no noticeable stomach discomfort I would attribute to taking it. Be prepared to drink tons more water and piss often.
I’m 74 and started back at the gym a month ago. All I hope is that I recover a little faster and perhaps am able to progress faster. I’ve been pretty dam sore so far.
I started lifting 6 months ago and took creatine. I stopped for financial reasons and saw a drop in strength of roughly 30%. It makes a HUGE difference and was honestly pretty frustrating. Now I'm loading again and can't wait to get those big juicy lifts again.
what bro? financial reasons? just a tip: every creatine monohydrate is the same no matter what they tell you in ads etc, buy the cheapest one trust me there wont be any difference.
@@michxc I did and it's still like 30 bucks for 1lb
Creatine is cheap af, by far the cheapest suplentement
Just skip a meal and buy some creatine my guy lol you can get a 60 day supply for 10 dollars..
44 y/o taking creatine for 4 months and consider myself an advanced lifter. I did not do a loading phase, just 5g per day and it was very hard on the stomach! Took me weeks to get that sorted out and ended up lowering the dose to 3g per day to ease the BM issue. I did gain weight in that time but never felt bloated. The biggest benefit I noticed is bench went up and achieved new PRs. So I decided to continue taking 3g creatine daily going forward. If you are already into training it can improve your performance but it is not a miracle supplement that will suddenly make you looked jacked.

I'm a high responder and started 6 weeks ago. I am quite well trained but apparently always used to eat too little and mostly vegetarian (vegetarians are often high responder due to is eating less meals that naturally contain creatine).
I gained about 2.5kg and it's all in my muscles. It's really visible too. I love it
For me creatine is a great supplement. I'm a woman in my thirties and I'm not in particularly good shape due to life circumstances. Creatine gives me energy and makes me recover faster. It feels like I'm not at the 'appropriate fitness level' to use this kind of supplement but the truth is that it helps get there.
Good for the brain also 🧠
There's no appropriate fitness level to use supplements
I too am in 30's and was wondering if it would be beneficial to me. Your comment has given me a positive boost. Thanks.
I been taking 2.5 gram capsules for 6 months
I've gained muscle in my biceps and forearms and chest
My legs are huge but I'm a basketball player and never worked my arms out in fear of messing up my shot.

I took it on Wednesday after pull day because that's when it came in the mail. Thursday was yoga day, so I didn't feel much. Friday push, and I was able to push myself without exhaustion to the point where when I was doing planks, I couldn't hold myself up. Also, I did a 5-minute 5speed, and I hardly felt exhausted. I noticed it at work, not being tired at any point of the day, and when I did legs right after, I was a man possessed. Doubling my weights and not feeling exhausted but my legs were wobbling. which I finished it out with a 5min 5speed + 1min 6s + 1min 7s + 1min 8s. 1min 2.5s. I wasn't exhausted other than my breath telling me I can't go any further. I FUCKING LOVE CREATINE. I even noticed my body looking better within these 4 days. I can't wait for what 30 days bring.
Although I did not experience significant strength growth, but I felt much more energized and could do much more reps. Because of that I added a superset per each day at the end, which I for sure wouldn’t be able to do before. Although I take creatine blend, so I am not sure how much of that comes from creatine itself.

@@---bk4lg but what if im already taking dht blockers will it still impact
@@serrioton1858 You can use creatine, of course, if you want my honest opinion, and you may be surprised by it. I find that many of my colleagues and friends in the gym focus a lot on protein, creatine, energy, and caffeine supplements before exercising. However, most of them cannot exercise with me on days when I exercise with high intensity and heavy weights.
Rather, I focus a lot on nutrition, and every 6 months I buy a vitamin B12 and iron supplement to enhance my sexual ability, especially in the summer.
1- My biggest secret is to eat a whole meal of chicken and 5 whole boiled eggs with the yolks two hours before exercise, which gives me explosive power during exercises.
2- I train with weights only 4 days a week, and I dedicate one day to stomach exercises, push-ups, kegels, and running for half an hour.
3- I never masturbate or watch porn films.

Great work jeremy
Would love to see a similar test done with women!
Same
How you respond on Creatine depends mainly on your meat consumption, since meat is a valid Creatine source at around 0.5g / 100g for most meat variants.
So if you eat a lot of meat, your creatine storage is more or less saturated already (depending on your genetics as well), thus low effect on additional Creatine intake.
Also you don't have a loading phase, this is old science while new research suggests to just stick with lower amounts and have nearly the same impact.
Vegans will see the most benefits from it, since they only have their naturally produced Creatine in their body.
Congrats Razia!
That scene of him snorting the creatine was the funniest thing I’ve seen all day 😂 well done!!!
I've been taking 3 grams of creatine with protein powder and 5 ounces of black coffee for the past 2 weeks as pre-workout. During the 2 weeks, I stopped taking this mixture for 2 days. I actually felt really tired half way thru my workout routine. I'm back on the creatine, protein and coffee mixture. My workouts are much better. I'm doing more reps and lifting more.
After workout, I take my usual protein shake with 3 grams of protein.
I'm going to guess you meant to 30 grams of protein, and not 3?
I would not mix creatine with coffee
Jeremy even said in the video, that there are studies showing a decreased effect and more side effects of creatine whne taking in combination wihh caffeine
Just take it at some time in the day hwne you aren't drinking coffee.
Creatine does not need to be used as a pre workout right before the training!
Creatine is not a pre workout
@@xXHuanSohnXx The complaint caffeine thwarts creatine is just another presumptive urban myth. I take them together always which greatly increases my bench stamina.

You rock at showing the truth and science. So I trust this is in alignment with the goal. At 7:13, your measurements seem to be inconsistent for his shoulders. Day 1, the video shows you measuring an inch above the beginning of his axilla. Day 30, you're measuring at the line where his axilla begins. This is significant because the lower you go, the more of his arms we get in the measurement. The more of his arms that find their way into the measurement, the greater the measurement will read.
I only got a few years left before I shave my head, I can't wait to try creatine
Can you discuss HCI Creatine? Monohydrate made me bloat. My face was bloated especially around my eyes. Tried scaling back from 5g and even more water , no effect. Switched to HCI and no issues at all. Just wondering how the gains are versus Monohydrate
This!
In a similar vein - ethyl ester formulations had much reduced dehydration side effects for me (stomach cramping and pain).
Same positive effect, definitely sped up post workout recovery for sure.
Next time please also do pre and post 30 days test for the video and to show safety too. Blood pressure, Blood Glucose, Heart Rate, General Blood test and compare the two with a GP. If you want to get even more scientific, there are places that offer under water weighing, which is more accurate for body composition compared to other methods.

30yo guy here. Haven't really done sports since high-school. Started back again, around 1 month ago. Bought creatine, did my research on how, why, when, then took it everyday, 1x in the morning, and 1x in the evening when eating. I'm also doing my work out at home, as I'm asocial, and I'm consistent at it. I'm litteraly not kidding when I say I was doing a solid 10 pumps on max efforts 3 weeks ago, and now I can go to 25 on one rep. In just 3 weeks.
But tbh my routine is a bit hard, I'm forcing myself to include 50 pumps in my work out, in the morning, working legs, back and when i get back for work I work abs only.
It maybe a placebo effect but the energy I feel when taking those is insane, even at work (I'm a chef cook ) during a break I sneak somewhere to do at least 20 pumps, real quick.
It feels like I'm getting addicted to these, and I'm afraid it will stop or I'll loose everything if I stop taking creatine.
It's not placebo. It's the best harmless workout supplement there is imo. I played and play basketball, do high rep rare max sets like it sounds like you are doing. I haven't been as active the past year and a half but my sons are in 11th 6-3 170lbs starting wr and saftey ,varsity basketball starting sg/sf and baseball CF in the spring. Also 12th grade son 6ft 170lbs 4.64 40, starting QB and LB, varsity basketball start pg, baseball DH and PR and Track 4X100, 200m and 400m. We do a lot of work together and they are constantly putting in work with friends and with the team. I literally yesterday just realized I have never told them about it. Loading phase began today through Saturday then 3g pre and 3g post workout of any kind daily. I'm ecstatic to see the results. You'll hear a lot of bs but do your own research. Great supplement
Strength grows in the moment when you think you can’t go on… but you keep going anyway.
Not really. Low rep, higher intensity, and shooting for maybe 85% of reps toward failure yields the same or better results than an exhaustion/step-down routine
That’s a good way of putting it
@@VndNvwYvvSvvpretty sure that’s what he meant
I did the loading phase and had no side effects at all... Probably because I spaced out the intake throughout the day. Don't do what this guy did and have it all at once..
The biggest thing I noticed with Creatine is the recovery time.. Pretty much felt no aches or pain at all the next day after a workout.
Were you loading up for a competition?
I took 10 grams a day in the loading phase with over 3.5 liters of water. All good. No problems. Works like a magic.
There is no reason to take 10g a day, 5g is more then enough
How many days you took that amount for loading phase?
about 14 days then continued with 3-4 grams a day@@itsmandal

6:25 he looks the same to me if anything a bit more hair on his chest (but that could just be lighting). I'm glad the measurements showed a difference.

6:24 he just look more darker
Before creating i used to bench 60kg just after the loading phase I started benching 70kg
Keep it up!
To avoid side effects I began liquifying my creatine and feeding it directly into my femoral artery with an IV. that way the powder comes no where close to my hair 👌 10/10 would recommend

Loading creatine should be used only in special situations, if you’re already low in creatine or if you need a boost for a competition as an athlete for example. In most cases, you don’t need loading, especially if you’re a beginner. It will give you a boost in your workout if taken an hour before and help you recover faster.
so what we need to do if we don’t take loading phase? and in some videos Jeremy said that creatine will be good if we take ‘em after workout
@@DAZZLEREYESyou just start taking 5 grams a day and keep doing it. And yeah I also saw some recent study that proved taking creatine after workout is actually the most beneficial.
Creatine is not something that “kicks in” it’s something that is slightly noticeable in the background in terms of benefits once it’s saturated in your muscles.
The fact that you think timing before a workout matters for this tells me you're full of crap and "bro-science"
@@vossaucce Well put.
During my loading protocol, I had some runny movements, but that was it. Instead of gaining weight, I actually lost weight and I’m already balding so hair loss wasn’t an issue. There may have been minor strength boost, but it was hard to tell. There is definitely muscle swelling, making me look bigger. I think the biggest thing I noticed overall was the recovery. I’m recovery much much faster. I’m using gorilla mind creatine and I’m probably gonna keep using it.
Interestingly, I've also heard dissolving it in hot water makes it more available. Maybe ginger tea then rather something caffeinated.🤨
damn i just started creatine and been dealing with hair thinning for years, now im wondering if i should stop taking it cause im trying to get my hair back.
the creatine/caffeine thing has been disproven by more recent research, good job half assing the quality of the info presented
Can you provide info what exactly has disproven?
Out of curiosity has anyone else had the negative side effect of creatine being elevated blood pressure and hypertension? I've been taking it for 3 weeks and in the past 3-4 days I actually had to go to an urgent care center because it felt like I was gonna die. My blood pressure/pulse were elevated but an EKG and the doc listening to my heart said everything looked good and normal. They did acknowledge my BP was up but not in a range warranting hospitalization. But all the other signs of high BP (headaches, chest soreness, etc.) This has all come about so suddenly and I'm not prone to blood pressure issues so this has been quite concerning. Going into my 2nd day of not taking any creatine so, again, anyone with similar experiences I'd be intrigued to hear. Thanks.
Sounds scary! I wonder if it is a gastrocardiac thing. I have that. Gas and gastrointestinal distress can push on vagus nerve and diaphragm and give you everything from tachycardia to high bp
Can we get an update on Raza and how he’s lookin and doin now?

Yes, I can confirm hair loss from taking creatine.
Unfortunately I am predisposed to male pattern baldness and I just stopped taking creatine because my hair thinned out extremely fast since I started. I only found out creatine could be a contributor to that a few weeks ago. In fact, for me this side effect was much stronger than the actual benefits. Now I kinda wish i never started using it.
This change in body can be archived without creatine. I recently joined gym and i had similar effects in a month without creatine...
I have to say my experiences over creatine. It's not a magic stick but for me only 3 supplaments are the best. 1) whey protein, 2)Creatine 3)Caffeine. Guys I have a sensitive stomach. I tried to 'load phase'' daily 20g intake but after one week I can't describe how hard a stomach pain I had. please if you decided to use creatine, just take dailg 5g for 3-4 weeks and drink at least 2.5 L water totatly minimum 4L liquid.
