      By 'does nothing', do you mean it doesn't even change your body weight by 3-4 pounds? Coz if that's the case, it would be easy to know if you are a non responder.

      I've been thinking that I'm a non responder to creatine, but your comment makes me realize otherwise. I was flat bench dumbell pressing 14kg at a full set of 10 as my max. I started creatine and within 2 weeks I'm doing full sets of 28kg dumbbells as my max, and think I can actually do sets of 5 at 30kg dumbbells. I just pinned it down to newbie gains, natural strength, good genetics and a bit of muscle memory from being active in high school, but I guess I'm definitely a responder too

      good question and still no real answer. I'm not a dr but from what I've read 1# of beef = 1-2g creatine when RAW, cooking it decreases the creatine. I'm a rare to medium rare beef eater by preference and it turns out that it helps to save the creatine content. however you will produce 1-2g naturally if youre eating whole proteins. "Your body can produce creatine from the amino acids glycine and arginine ( 1 ). About half of your body's creatine stores come from the food you eat - especially red meat and seafood - and the rest is made in your liver and kidneys from amino acids"

    @jajuanrussell5386 2 роки тому +5

    Creatine used to give me like a teeny tiny little perceiveable energy boost.
    The very first thing I would notice after taking my dose was the increased heart rate.
    The way I would take it: 1 heaping 5mg scoop in 1 gallon of water, consuming the entire mix within 60 minutes.
    I would dose up about 90 minutes before my workout. And I would do full body work for 2 hours. And then dose up on glutamine 30 minutes after body work.
    My diet was high in meat and carbs and leafy greens.
    I was trying to gain weight. I never did.
    Heaviest I've ever been was 174 lbs.
    I'm hovering around 150 lbs for the past 3 years.
    I always get really strong, but I don't seem to put in mass.

    I think that a fitness enthusiast who just wants to get stronger, bigger, more active and useful in all physical aspects of life should stay away from these supplements and performance boosters.
    Protein shakes and a multivitamin are more than than enough if your overall diet plan is dialed in properly and workouts comprise major strength and mass builders like squats, deadlifts, chin up, overhead presses, etc. and their variants then results do come gradually and are quite sustainable over long time.
