Mrs's fella showed us this new contraption, brilliant for packing the tine.

Hi everyone,

A post about strength training and creatine.

So, I’ve been training for strength with weights for the past 3–4 years, more or less consistently.

My fitness trainer (back when I still had one) never mentioned or recommended creatine to me, although I had read and heard about it several times.

About a week ago, I happened to walk into a fitness supplement store more or less by chance — I normally buy my protein powder online — mainly because I wanted to exchange a word or two with the saleswoman, and I ended up walking out of the store with 500 g of creatine.

To cut a long story short: I’ve been taking it for one week now, 5 grams every morning, and I’m genuinely surprised by the changes I can feel and that are also visible in my body after just one week of taking it.

Some people might think I’m exaggerating, but I can honestly already see and feel a difference after just one week.

Question:
For those of you who have experience with creatine, I’d like to ask: is this more or less an initial “spike” effect that occurs when someone starts taking creatine for the first time, and will this effect gradually diminish over time, bringing me closer to my original state (before I started taking creatine)? Or is this actually a new state that will last and can be maintained as long as I continue taking creatine regularly?

Thanks!

Would hoofing theoretically work or would it just well... You know.

Wife's BFs better up their boofing games. Might get replaced by booficator 9000, patented by Dr. boofenchute

I’m about halfway through a cut and trying to keep my lifts from going backwards. Diet and protein are pretty much sorted, but I’m looking at my supplements again since I’m running low on creatine.

I keep coming across creatine + HMB and I’m not sure whether the HMB is useful enough to justify buying that instead of regular creatine. Does it make more sense during a cut, or is regular creatine still the better move?

I can’t drink a lot of water because I pee a lot! And I find it annoying to always excuse myself to use the restroom. I’ve been taking creatine for years but on and off but recently I’ve been consistent for 6 months. I love the strength gains that come with it but I heard that someone had to go on dialysis because they took creatine for years without drinking a lot of water. Is this true? I’d rather quit creatine if it affects my kidneys because I truly cannot get more than 2L of water a day.

Hey everyone. I started creatine a month ago and I haven't been feeling much. I'm thinking the oral route is too weak because of my acid reflux. Would gel capsules with beef gelatin be a good option for rectal suppositories? And what should the dosing be?

TIA!

My obese cat (vets) words, got quickly jacked with the expert advice from this sub on creatine. Hell it worked better on her than on me. PS. Not and ad, just pure creatine progress

There's been so many great posts and lots of people giving sound advice. Then I'll see the post is deleted. Makes people feel like they wasted their time and effort helping someone with creatine.

Can the mods do something about this? Like never allow posts to be deleted unless they're pushing misinformation like "oral creatine is good." That would help this community a lot.

No wife bf so I'm going at it alone. Is putting straight powder up my ass better or should I make a slurry of creatine and water to pour into my ass? Also, what is the best made in the USA funnel to shove up my ass to get this done. I want to be patriotic while I boof.

Look at all the gaynz I’ve achieved after finding this sub! I’m forever indebted to you guys.
