Drink alot of water to avoid water retention(or so I've heard), and keep ur cardio up

I started taking creatine after my workout just to try what the Hodge Twins suggested, but I think it works better for me to take it before I workout. I could prolly do it before and after, but it's not that serious.

how creatine works is that it draws water into your muscle giving you weight gain and makes your muscles look alot fuller. were not talking about bloated water weight here.

When you stop it, you drop that weight/water and your muscles deflate a little.


The benefits is that while you are on it, due to your muscles being fuller and being up in weight, you therefore are able to push more weight, thereby gaining more mass/strength than if you didnt take creatine, in the same period.

The problem is that mentally, like steroids, at the end all you notice is the [loss] in size/strength from when you get off, and youll be yearning for that look while you was on it.

its been night and day brehs..just 8th day of taking creatine

focus on the numbers on your lifts improving track it down on a notepad week to week

as many have said, creatine is misleading sometimes it definitely improves your capacity to lift more in the gym, but its not steroids :huhldup:

technically you want the creatine to not dissolve completely :manny: heat will increase the Ksp value
