The biggest thing I noticed with creatine was a quite dramatic strength increase. I haven't used it for like 6 years, but when I did use it, it helped me break through a lot of strength plateaus.
Fr? I’ve been lifting consistently for about 5 months, would you recommend I start now or later?
@@hamhocksidk I stated basically a year after lifting. The biggest thing is making sure your tendons and everything are strong enough so when you add the extra weight you don’t get hurt
@@hamhocksI started mine about year after I still noticed gains
I had the same abnormal strength increase. Was barely doing 8 pullups with the weeks of no progress. Within three weeks of creatine loading I went from hard 8-10 pullups to easy 18 pullups lol... So much so that I tore a muscle in my shoulder from so much stress in such a short period of time
@@hamhocks NOW!
I started taking because I'm a 53 year old carpenter and my work harness and tools were killing me.i was waking up tired and super sore.i started in November,taking 10grams with water.i didn't know til this video I was supposed to load up,then decrease,so I'm still taking 10 grams with water pre-work out.i can honestly say I have had no side effects.i feel freaking great.i wake up tired still because I'm working six days a week,ten to twelve hours a day but the soreness is gone my harness and bags feel lighter then ever..
I haven't felt this good since my 20s.i have had several injuries in my career and none of them are bothering me anymore,not even my ankle break and shattered heel.i can actually run again.been using for four months now
you can go down to 4-5 grams, save yourself some money. Once the muscle is loaded you dont need that much to maintain
bro is the goal, the dedication.

Good work on the vid. Don’t stress over the caffeine and take it whenever u want.
I thought you said that caffiene messes with the creatine
Yo thanks for watching man! And yea looking back, I feel like caffeine creatine mix shouldn’t make much of a difference if any in the long run
Damn even Greg chevked this out!😱 sweet
@@FocusedLucas Alright I'm not sure if you were replying to me but it says ''pigmie replied'' but, good to know because I just recently started taking it and I love to abuse caffeine and I wasn't sure if that ruins the effects of creatine :)
@@isaiahgarza847 youtube comments say that someone "replied to you" but in actuality it just says that when you are involved in some conversations
It is a must-go when you turn 35. It helps a lot with regen, especially since your workout sessions gonna be more ''volume'' focused not on your max heavy loads
I'm just turning 37 in a week, and have just started my fitness journey this last April. Not even a full year. I've seen lots of progress on my own. Lost 70lbs of fat, gained 15lb of muscle. Went from 300lb in Jan of '22 to 245 in Dec of '22. I'm working a lot of max heavy loads in. Benching 175 and growing. I have never been in shape or in the gym in my entire life. Would you say Creatine would be beneficial to someone in my position?
@@TheHyperSloth unsolicited reply, but imo there are essentially no reasons why not. Will no doubt increase your overall performance and recovery, which of course would increase calories burned with such intense training as well as muscle gains.
@@TheHyperSloth I'd hop on trt if you're only benching 175 at 245bw you need hormonal help imo
@@TheHyperSloth hell yhea...but I recommend you order creapure creatine from Germany, it has no fillers or heavy metals as the American brands more likely have
@@beetlejuice4693 that statement is about as dumb as his comment. Creatine doesnt " regen" you 😂. You boys will take anything to think it regens your fraile ass. And likely 245lb of obesity and sedentary lifestyle is the cause of a low bench. Not his test numbers. Fuck all you people are slow. Who says you need test to someone on the internet after a single statement.
would have been interesting to see 14 more days directly after the first 14, where you where on normal doses. I think the constipation is from the loading.
I was going to suggest the same thing, so I second this.
THIS .
i was just about to write the same hahaha
he most likely would have adapted to the 4lb increase by then, too.
Should have continued the creatine, just back off to the recommended dosage of 5grams per day. Atleast for a full month and then reevaluate.
In the four weeks since I started creatine I've only recently noticed real improvements in muscle definition. It's been a sort of delayed reaction, though things might have been going on behind the scenes I wasn't aware of. I was thinking for a while that maybe I was just one of those people it doesn't work for, but suddenly the improvements became apparent. My weights sessions are still tough but can go on longer and with more reps, and my body has a more solid, muscular feel about it, especially my upper body.
did you load for a week or nah
@@crispedtoastwithout load for me . After a month i was surprised i can actually do extra few reps . I was like damn finally😂
I think the added water weight may be beneficial in the long run, with a similar effect to wearing a weighted vest to increase the intensity of an exercise to progressively overload. As for the constipation, I'd bet that was because of the loading dose and if you took 5g daily it would likely go away, but everyone's body is different.
Nahh it does nothing for muscle mass, I stopped creatine and my hair started getting thicker, gained more real muscle and strength while losing water weight
@@peamutbubber Why are you spreading missinformation?
@@peamutbubber XD
@Chance Allen yes it does it take up levels of dht why you lie to yoursekf
For sure you get stronger by keeping more water in your body it is so natural
I started about a month ago, I definitely feel I can get more intense bursts of energy during the day not just workouts
It does nothing
@@peamutbubber Why are you spreading missinformation?
@@peamutbubber don’t spread misleading information. Creatine won’t do you any magic if you don’t workout, or take the creatine consistently.
@@peamutbubber yea it does nothing dont buy creatine
You looked uo what creatine does and it says quick bursts or energy. Lol It does nothing. It's in your head and you just repeating what you read. Get a life.
Moderate your coffee (or other diuretic) intake as a possible way to fight the dry stool problem.
...anyone else notice coffee making the dinky shrinky? Temporarily, of course... I've noticed a direct correlation, and I'm wondering if it's just me, or has anyone else noticed such a phenomena... uncomfortable to the point where I avoid it. I have not tested if caffeine would illicit the same response or not... If so, I wonder what the mechanism is...
@@thetruthserum2816 Yep, caffeine and other stimulants are vasoconstrictors. Since it has weak enough action as such, when you're driving blood into your muscles lifting weights you shouldn't really notice it.
Places where you don't need as much blood flow at the moment is where you will, especially tissues that are affected a lot by vasoconstriction or vasodilation in the specific area.
If you don't like that specific effect from caffeine, don't try DMAA 😂
I took the creatine back in 1999. I was 25 at the time. Im an ectomorph and I pushed the heavy weights and low reps. My natural weight was around 150, but with the creatine and working out hard I gained like mad, up to 185 which is huge for me. People were blown away. However I found that I was more moody then not and wasn't handling stress as well. Then after learning about the potential damage it can due to the kidneys I felt I had to stop and I did. In my mind I'd like to try it again but then I remind myself own I felt on it and I better not. Not for everyone I feel. I dont know if it's great for inflammation as well.
@Dawid FootbalI don't think so! I was eating like crazy and lifting heavy sets to fail or spotted. I had taking more than my share of creatine. Plus protein shakes, I ballooned out dude. In my experience It can make you moody if your exhausting yourself at the same time dehydrating at times not drinking enough water. Plus working full time labour.
What are effects on kidneys?
@@pvvv888 dehydration
Increase your water intake
How much were you taking? I feel like back in the day we all took more. I took a ton and got stomach aches. You don't need to take much, just 3-5 grams. And increased water intake helps a ton.
It’s cool you did such a in depth review. I have taken creatine for 3 weeks now and found I have nothing but benefits from it. All strength increased overall, my bench went from barely putting 135 up to repping 170
That much of an increase in only 3 weeks?!
@@lifewithmason5129 yes, been tracking my lifts. Also dieting and calorie increase will of course get you bigger. Mass moves mass
I only have been taking it for 3 days and during my workout today I felt a better pump than I ever have plus I gained 3 lbs, probably water weight but it’s amazing
@@dock1670 what is amazing? To carry more water?
@@xrt126 to have your muscles look more fuller
creatine = size and strength. Creatine is the energy source for under 10 seconds. So those 3 to 5 rep sets; with weights, you will probably see the results better regarding performance. Calisthenics body weight matters and creatine makes you heavier so not surprising not great results. Finally, that extra rep or 2 caused by creatine may add up over time due to increased volume of training.
From what I understand olive oil helps with constipation. It may counter and cancel out the constipation caused by creatine.
You explained very well and it was very funny see your progress with the creatine, I have 3 months consuming it and to me personally it really does a difference when you're training. More videos like this please.

Great video, just one tip; If creatine gives you any GI discomfort, split the dose up - you can go as low as 1g, 3 times a day.
Good idea
@@infiniteg7852 appreciate it 🙌
Same bro, i stopped taking creatine cause i was feeling heavy after week 2 💯 great video
I've used approx 7-8 grams creatine daily for more than 4 months. Here's my personal experience.
My body was always pumped as creatine helps to store water in your muscle. so the increace in weight after use of creatine is just water. implicitly body pumped after workout remains pumped whole day.
Biggest thing for me is the recovery time.
I’m currently at 1 full month on creatine…did a 5-day loading first, then 5g/day. I don’t notice anything different that I can’t also explain by my workouts alone. Yeah, I’m in better shape, more muscular…but I’ve been lifting steadily 3x/week so I think I would be the same anyway. To me, the “1-2 more reps” thing is more MENTAL STRENGTH that comes with increased lifting…willing to accept the pain. So, maybe it works, maybe not…for me…hard to tell. Soreness and recovery seem the same. I pee more, but then again, I drink more water. I’ll continue the regimen, though, for at least another month….no downside I can think of.
According to the literature, at 5g per day it would take about 3 weeks to a month to load, not 5 days. The recommendation is 0.3g of creatine per kg of bodyweight each day (divided in about 4 doses) for 5 to 7 days. If one weighs 180lbs that's about 24g of creatine per day (or 6g taken 4 times per day). After that, it's 0.03g per kg of bodyweight or say 2.4g per day for a 180lb person for maintenance. Regardless, with what you did you should definitely now be fully loaded.
@@Marcoosianism …..My bad, I didn’t specify, but my loading was 5g x 4x/day…or 20g/day, for 5 days.
@@roadracerqx893 Ah! cool ... actually MY bad, lol, I think I misinterpreted what you wrote ... assumed it was only 5g per day while loading.
Did you have any benefits yet?
@@sajidfense1881 ,…Again, hard to say. People say they have more energy to “add another 1-2 reps in a set”, but my routines are not that precise where I can tell. I can attribute THAT to taking the pain MENTALLY to fatigue and adding reps. I don’t feel any different, lifting is hard work…it’s NOT like I bust out a whole 2 sets more and feel energized, LOL. As far as higher weight max lifts, isn’t that what happens anyway with a good program?
No huge bodyweight gains or unaccounted-for growth that’s beyond what I’d say to be normal weight training gains.
I’m NOT going to go off creatine and “see what happens for a month”…I’m not starting over. I’m just going to continue on.
Youve never been this heavy and the fact u was close on them calisthenics exercises means that creatine did do some work💯
And what's the point?
Maybe the more immediate effect was the bigger muscles retaining the water and adding the weight, but I think eventually the muscle strength would have gotten better had you continued an additional few more weeks. I know personally any new exercise adjustments I make can take a good month or so before I’m optimally performing it. I’ve heard people saying they noticed the improved reps around the six week mark.
The stomach issues (like constipation) go away after that loading phase, in my experience. After the initial loading, just maintaining a 3-5g daily dose retains the positive effects of creatine without the negative bit of gut problems.
oddly enough it made my bowel movements smoother, kinda of surprised you guys are having constipation. Maybe its because you aren't drinking enough water.
Who remembers this man’s backflip videos 😅😅😢😢😂❤
I’m on day 4 on creatine and I feel motivated and I look forward to working out a lot
Be aware that more water in the muscles means increased likelihood of muscle tear as there's more space between the muscle fibers. This may have been why you felt your pectoral muscle close to tearing.
Bah..Lon...ey.
@@rickdalbey6009 take it up with MLB and doctors since you know so much.
@@jamesnm21 I consult my Doctor, who also lifts weights. My trainer thinks you are nuts. Consult the literature.
I used to have shoulder issues which prevented me from working out efficiently but after loading up on creatine suddenly it was gone, now I am a huge fan !
Can you tell me what shoulder issues you had? I'm going through a similar issue
@@dilshaddavood786does it feel like your shoulder blade slips?
it might be just you bossman but honestly i have been feeling so much stronger with creatine to the point where i hit a PR on everything 350KG incline leg press 3 clean reps. maybe try for 6 weeks.
Can I ask if you were also drinking coffee, or any other caffeine source, with the creatine? This guy said he was still drinking coffee, and some say that will negate the creatine benefits.
@@AJM547 I take my creatine with my pre workout which has lots of caffeine and i still very much noticed the effects of creatine. As long as you are drinking lots of water throughout the whole day you will be good. (Do not take creatine with your pre workout. its just easy for me to do that but its best to have on its own after your workout)
yo wtf, try PR on the squat not a bs machine
@@florentardizio leg press is one of the best machine for isolating certain mucles in the legs.
you did 10g for 6 weeks how did u feel ?
The reason you will have more muscle fiber tearing on creatine is because the water load in muscles now causes lateral forces on the muscle fibers as you use them so it is completely possible that you drop down in a store to reach the bottom shelf and you tear a few quad fibers on the way down after which they will heal just like normal muscle injury, which is what we want.
For me creatine is the difference between a daily 1 hour workout, or a daily 3 hour workout, I just don't get tired, ever. I think it would have been better to check how many sets you can do without fatigueing. The whole point of creatine is that it allows for more mechanical hypertrophy instead of the non functioning and totally bogus fatigue hypertrophy which is the limit most people work up against.
Edit: Not getting tired also means most people without a strict schedule and gym wisdom will likely increase their volume unreasonably and get injured.
I started my creatien loading phase this week doing 20g a day 10 in the morning and 10 before my workout I haven’t really noticed a increase in body weight but I have noticed a increase in size and performance. Also the pump at the gym after workouts is insane I started at 185 I’m 187 so 2 lb in a couple days isn’t bad imo
Is 10g perday good for 2 weaks
@@nakulgupta7475 10g for a week would be sufficient enough I’ve just been doing a crazy load with creatien to help saturate the muscles as well as taking c4 pre workout which contains more creatien in it as well. In one week I’ve already put on some mass
When is the best to use pre or after workout?
@@bozzfranktv8577 It doesnt matter when you take it, you just have to be consistent. If you wanna take it first thing in the morning then workout 15 hours later thats completely fine.
20g a day is pointless just take 5g a day lmao
never got any side effects other then gains... im taking 10g a day (5g in morning, 5g at night)
Herbal tea + creatine is a option, I use this as a option to bypass the stomach issues. In my case with both my workouts as well as my physically demanding job, I’m most likely putting in a good twelve hours of hardwork
Guys, you should remember that results may vary with your own body and genetic. Some will have small improvements, some nothing... And some will have bigger results.
About when you take creatine. Studies show that taking it right after a workout is slighlty better for the body to take it in. Before doesn't do anything because it doesn't give an immediate boost. But all in all consistency is key so it's best taken at a point in the day when you know you always take it.
Love this channel!
Could you do similar with Glutamine and L-Arginine?
I 100% feel a difference with these but as I started them both together, I don't know which might be making a difference!
Holy shit.
I started creatine 2 months ago. The past month I've lost more hair than ever before in my life. Thank you Pigmie, because of you I'm never touching that cursed shit ever again.
Did it grow back ?
?
Creatine never gave me any stomach discomfort but it did give me urinary discomfort. Combining it with caffeine actually made my urinary discomfort worse. I didn't feel much increase in strength but I did notice a huge increase in endurance doing cardio. I never ran that fast before for so long.
i love your videos bro, best videos covering this and most other fitness topics that Iv/'ve seen. keep it up!
You should try 1 month without coffee and avoiding caffein
Thank you for this video, just took my first scoop of creatine and im hoping it will help me in school, and in the gym obv.
You're wrong. Your body relies on Aerobic respiration before Anerobic fermentation. Aerobic refer's to ATP synthesis using the ETC(Oxygen), while Anerobic fermentation takes place when you can no longer supply your muscle cells with enough Oxygen, creating lactic acid. The lactic acid is the "burn" at the last reps of a set. Good information in this video but i wanted to make this clear, im 3rd year into biochemistery :)
In intense exercises (short bursts), your body uses up your ATP supply very quickly in a few seconds to minutes of contraction. This is while Creatine can be used to regenerate ATP after it has been used up. If the exercise goes on longer, the body resorts to anaerobic fermentation to regenerate NADH, which is used to generate small amounts of ATP by Glycolysis. He is not exact, but the order of the process are a bit different from what you mentioned. Anaerobic metabolism comes before aerobic respiration during terms of muscle contraction. He is essentially right.
@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial Phosphocreatine is the king of ATP synthesis yes. I'm not trying to be Ignorant but im third year into biochemistry and all I've been taught is that when there's no oxygen to supply the ETC during aerobic respiration is the only time your cells rely on turning pyruvate into lactate to regenerate NAD+ (not NADH btw); Because why would your cell resort to a much less efficient source of ATP before a much better one? Glycolysis grants a net of 2 ATP while the ETC can theoretically yield 38. I don't know if muscle-mitochondria work any different and i woudn't think so, but maybe you know more than me. Please tell me.
@@geenthegreen I will say Beta-oxidation is more efficient than all of these. But apparently, it's agreed upon that Aerobic catabolism of glucose yields 30 atp. Creatine is just a supplement to after atp has been used up. I likely know as much as you about this since I'm a 4th year biology student, so we're no better 😂
@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial lol, true. they're hiding stuff from us.
Bro's creatine went into his thighs
Very nice move on the corded headphones. You are definitely focusedddd
This video is very informative. It helps someone like me who doesn't understand fitness a lot better
Throughout most of my life I’ve only taken up a dump every 2-3 days. I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of people saying they go everyday. Am I normal or not 😭
Ohhh okay so I just watched your milk video and was thinking you look really amazing, different somehow?! Now I see your full body calisthenics! and it's clicking you're an actual athlete!! 🤣
Good info. For some who need to move their body around (like you) the extra weight might be a problem. I'm going to give it a try for lifting weight, and I also hope it helps me with my bike rides.
Its common for your stool samples to become dry its a good idea to eat food to lubricate stool samples along with drinking 2 gallons of water a day.
If you were to do this for 2 months and work out with that added weight you probably would make some gains.
Good work. I've been on creatine forever except for gear. Creatine gives me tremendous strength.
I started creatine on new years day. After 2 and a half months at 5 grams per day and I definitely noticed a jump in performance both physically and mentally. My lufts got heavier and my bodyweight went from 182 lbs on new years day to 195 lbs after 2 and a half months. I stopped for awhile and then restarted. Barring any minor side effects Its been very beneficial for me
What were your side effects?
Don't judge but sometimes I mix my protein and creatine in my coffee. The hot coffee actually fully dissolves the powders, no chunks.
Just fast forward to the results, the video does too much talking
2:14 Really? I know it's been 10 months, but surely if you'd gone heavier, you could've still done 9 reps at least? Maybe it was just that you were deconditioned to higher reps? This would put your squat max at like 238, 108 kg. Same as your bench. And in practice likely a little below that. Bro, what? I've benched 236 and I started lifting in 2020. You should stop the leanness stuff and just get REALLY STRONG, REALLY BIG, go REALLY HARD, get those 16"+ arms, the really big chest, the back, the legs, the ASS, everything, and then you can cut down again to being a much bigger and stronger guy than before. And I'd recommend a low surplus bulk afterwards to regain the lost muscle from the cut, even if you wanna maintain afterwards.
Try a shilajit challenge. That would be interesting
I knew exactly what would happen because you had the same effects than me. Except for constipation, I think it was because the 10g daily and also you can decrease constipation by eating more legumes.
Before you take creatine you notice a pump after the workouts, right? Well what about keeping that pump always and get a bigger pump after the workouts? That's what creatine does and that's why I take it since many years 😂
Do you need to have low body fat to take creatine? Im at 25% bf and considering taking creatine
@@renouille85 no, it works for many independently of bf. It improves your workouts and restoration too.
@@fenrirgg nice
Idk if it’s the creatine or just hard work but 6 weeks ago I started lifting weights. Bench press for example I started at 3 sets of 5 at 155 pounds. That 5th rep on the 3rd set I could barely get up. Fast forward to now I did 3 sets of 5 at 205 pounds and actually hit 8 reps on the 3rd set. This Friday I’m gonna increase to 215 pounds and see if I can get 3x5. Progressive overload is flying up every week. I work my ass off in the gym and don’t leave until the muscle group I’m working is fully pumped. So far it’s working. Not sure if it’s the creatine but I’m not gonna stop taking it that’s for sure
Im with you at the cognitive. It is allmost stronger effect for the brain than the muscles🙏🏻
even if creatine doesnt help with actual strength seeing a difference faster could for sure motivate people to keep working out
You need to be taking fiber supplements with creatine and definitely drink more water, also the speed at which you drink water effects the amount that your body absorbs and doesn't just wee out
Could the negative aspects of the weight not decrease after more training? Getting used to more weight means eventually getting stronger no?
Creatin stores water in the muscle, this is like building a house on sand.
Fiber goes a long way for bowel health.
Constipation can be avoided by taking stool softeners or just adding a fiber supplement such as psyllium fiber powder (mix with water).
Mix it with y’all shakes ! And then drink water ona side no effects at all
This is what I do
Drink everytime he says creatine challenge
11:53 Your fear was that Heating the creatine would make it become toxic, yet you’re forgetting that when you drink this and put it inside your body, your body is heating it to 98.6° or so.
Skip the fear and just get micronized creatine. I’ve been taking creatine on and off since it first came out, and used to teach on the subject. I won’t mention too much here because there’s plenty of info for people to listen to your video here, and other videos like it. 12:30 when people first started teaching on how creatine mono hydrate affected the body, we were all told to mix it with Welches grape juice, because it needed carbohydrate to upload into the muscles. So it does interest me that so many companies will throw creatine monohydrate into pre-workout powders with absolutely no sugar and think that the stuff will work. It doesn’t work as good if you’re not shuttling it into the muscles with a carbohydrate source. Just a thought.
Just stick to micronized, and remember that you’ll get plenty of creatine if you start eating more red meat.
The fact that all visual changes vanish if you stop taking creatine is why im not gonna take it
For the 10 percent who study this stuff know it’s not all water weight actually it’s 80 percent not water weight it’s got a miss conception , but your hair definitely starts to thin I recommend water man’s hair shampoo and conditioner it’s amazing , if you want to not load creatine you will notice almost zero hair thinning
The hair loss studies are not conclusive.
Hair loss is more to do if it runs in the family.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience 👍👍
It’s important to drink a lot of water while taking creatine. Especially in load phase, drink at least a gallon a day. I take it during my workouts, this has been the best for effectiveness. I drink it during my workouts.
YOU AND YOUR BODY = TOTAL GORGEOUSNESS!
I recommend using during a cut to maximize your strength and recovery while being on lower macros
DHT is not related to male pattern baldness. Prolactin, estrogen and cortisol are related to male pattern baldness. Any increase in one of the three increases the other two. In addition, creatine and DHT elevation studies were inconclusive.
I use digestive enzymes with probiotics. When using creatine it helps with stomach issues as well help your body dissolve the supplements better. Especially whey protein
I take creatine but there's no need to 'Load' creatine, just a consistent amount. The body regulates this and gets rid of excess as it is naturally produced in the body anyway.
Commenting "Rice Bucket Training" until it happens.
My goals for fitness is to be close to a Spider-Man. I'm about 5"9 145. Super-toned. Calesthetics are my go to and also I do a ton of military style boot camp workouts. I tried Creatine and it didn't really fit well. Not really built for a Thor like you are. I like being lean and fast. Body builders though should definitely do Creatine however.
I'll stick to my Ghost All Out TMNT Ooze and Amino Acid Ocean Wave.
creatine shedds hair for some people like crazy
you have the funniest lift face while at the gym. all love
Dont load, be patient. And yes it does give you some fullness and stamina. Best supplement by far
I put creatine , Shilajit and collagen peptides in my coffee and a pinch of celtic sea salt
Thank you for everything you do Pigmie
Away around the constipation number one absolutely take less creatine number two increase your mineral content and that will help downgrade the constipation, the water will not be absorbed as much if you don't have a high concentration of minerals.
Do a full 30 days to get through the loading phase, and then to see some gains. 14 days isn’t long enough to build a noticeable amount of muscle. 60 days would be great.
I take a scoop of creatine with my Total War pre workout and as long as you hydrate with enough water youll be fine, and about 3 months ago i started taking creatine again, i had major depression prior to taking creatine for years, since adding creatine my depression seems to be non existent and have even been asked by others if im taking PEDs, oh and i also do 5 second eccentrics on all my lifts, the TUT and mind muscle connection is nutz
Wish I could take creatine but I am allergic to it, don't know if anyone has the same symptoms after /during loading phase. This starts as a pressure build up at top of right nostril, followed by pain on same side of front head, then a constant light dripping of the right nostril of a yellow/watery liquid. Even while I'm asleep the dripping continues. This carries on with the pressure feeling until I stop the usage and for a few days after. I have to be so careful when looking at protein powder ingredients that it doesn't have this added.
Creatine is almost a miracle drug for me. It has vastly improved gym time for me
Any hair loss? I just started and now I wanna stop cause I’m reading about hair loss lol
i mix the creatine with my pre workout that has 300mg of caffeine never had any issues, only thing I notice is if I hit my 15min run before weights with no food Its a little more ass but nothing bad
En un proceso no solamente se debe juzgar lo que se está juzgando, no solamente esta involucrado el tomar cratina por 15 días, hay otros factores a tener en cuenta como seria la hidratación, alimentación, el descanso , la intensidad aeróbica o anaeróbica y lo más importante la salud mental del sujeto; hay que tener en cuenta que aunque el este haciendo un esfuerzo no podemos asegurar que este dando el 100% mental mente, ya que habrán días donde la concentración no estará tan efocada como los primero 2 días o los primeros 30 min de nuestro objetivo..
Para llegar a alcanzar los resultados deseados tendremos que mantener una mentalidad positiva o como yo le he llamado. "Mentalidad de Hercules"
Elevar el (ego) sin necesidad de ser "arrogantes", mantenerse con una mentalidad madura y respetuosa con cualquier ser vivo.
Nuestro objetivo lo será todo y tendremos que adaptarlo a nuestra rutina diaria. Quizá haga un video explicando todo este proceso para los que estén interesados en crecer como hercules.. saludos! LOVE✌🏻
The solution to dry stool is not more water, it's more fat
Creatine felt like a placebo to me in that the knowledge of my taking it gave me some confidence but I feel pretty sure 5g/day would show no discernible difference in my lifting performance with a blind test.
so what i found out a while ago is that if you slightly lower your carbs(because carbs can inflame your body)"more of the startchy grainy carbs" and make your fat intake higher it'll make you more lets say...loose. (Not Keto cannot stress that enough) just a slight alteration.
Hey brother, try taking psyllium fiber, experiment on dosage, use the plain form that thickens, I guarantee you won't have to deal with the constipation issue😉. Just experiment with the dosage.
I was 120lbs. After protwin and creatine daily... im at 146lbs and look much bigger and stronger.
Bro I swear I watched the video you watched to get your info on creatine right before this one
I stopped taking it around 10 years ago when one of my front teeth moved sideways, and shortly after I read in a mag that creatine can cause wonky teeth, In fairness I have tried to find anything on that a few times over the years and came up blank. My dentist claimed it was because I smoked at the time. On the other hand, my ex has never been a smoker, not has she taken creatine but she has the exact same front tooth gone sideways, so maybe it's just old age catching up with us ol' snaggletooths?
The fart got me everytime lol
Video idea: I got loaded on tren for 30 days
How should i take 20 gram creatine a day
Should i take 10 gram before workout and 10 gram after workout or in a different way
Plzz.. Guide me 😊
When taking Creatine, you should also take magnesium citrate.
With an extra 2 kgs of weight... Seems before and after worked out well.
I was Benching 230 quick when I used Creatine... It's good but I stopped going to the gym for months to a year. Then my Muscles Shrunk.😪😔😪...
