Should I take creatine if I’m trying to lean

[Boris Reznikov]

I’m currently on an aggressive cut, doing weight training, cardio, diet etc; all the necessary things but I want to try creatine to help with my lifts but I’ve also heard it makes you bloated which as I am trying to look lean is not the look I want.
What yall think?

The bloating is usually overstated. When you get lean you will look lean. At worst cycle off if you need to be a certain point for at a certain event/time period.

^This.
Some people don't even bloat and some folks are complete non-responders anyways (small percentage).

It’s really just water retention from what I understand. If the creatine helps your work outs I wouldn’t worry about it. Once you’re off of it for a week most of the water weight goes away.
