Creatine and aesthetics, does it help or hurt, is it worth it? ...
I think I'm going to discontinue creatine... Benefits: I suspect that once I stop taking it, I'll lose like 10lbs of extra water, look thinner and leaner and feel better. Drawbacks: Concerned I'll lose strength and size Not sure its worth it to supplement anyway, if I already get enough, then it's just causing unnecessary…

My first bulk at age 45
I’m 6’3 and weighed 190 when I started (first picture). I weighted 210 in the second picture. I’m guessing my bodyfat went up 5%. So did I gain 10lbs fat and 10lbs of muscle? What do you think based on the picture? Is that a pretty good result for my first bulk?
