Creatine is like steroids.

It's not a steroid

Just google it

hodge twins are dumb.

Creatine will enhance anaerobic performance in the majority of people (unless their stores are already full) if the muscles are saturated. 5g per day is plenty for majority of people.

No side affects for me. I always drink plenty of water.

Creatine is a short (SHORT) burst of energy at the beginning of your workout. Taking it out will do nothing besides stop you from holding as much water as you have been. The water retention is the biggest change I noticed.

ive seen that video before... they werent saying creatine are steroids. They were just saying you should take breaks from creatine every once in a while. that's all.

Your mistake was taking advice from the hodgetwins. They are funny as hell but their advice is garbage.

If I can buy it at Walmart in a 3 pound jug for 15 bucks....it neither is, nor is even like a steroid.

Today I watched a video produced by the Hodge Twins on YouTube.

What they are claiming is, that if you stop taking Creatine, you will lose that extra "push" like you would taking steroids.

I am currently using Creatine and I have seen some serious strength gains over a short 1-2 week period, literally in "Beast Mode" if you will.

My concern is, if I stop taking it, I lose that added strength. I don't mind using it for life to give me that weight training "edge", but what are your thoughts on this?

Have you used it?

Did it work for you too?

Any side effects?

Thanks in advance!

I was just thinking this last night as I struggled through a workout that I would usually do quite easily.

I was taking creatine in coffee twice a day (only a little bit maybe about 1/2 teaspoon) and man, I felt like I could go for hours, raised my weights in leaps and bounds etc etc and felt really good. For the last two days I have been busy and forgotten to take any and last night, well, I really struggled and felt tired and to be honest almost went home for an early night.

So for me, yes it definately helps with lifting heavier and for longer and also in stamina/endurance when running. I don't know what steroids feel like, but from what I have read it is an amino acid that occurrs naturally in your body not a steroid.

Once u stop taking it u will lose a couple of reps and maybe a couple pounds of water weight.

They so cute! 10/10 both.

Creatine is far from a steroid. The only thing with supplements is that most people don't cycle off and give their kidneys a break. But obviously the choice is yours. I have taken creatine in the past. When I stopped taking it, I did see a slight decline in strength but it wasn't like I lost my total strength gains.
