Creatine Info anyone ??

since the weight you will gain will be water weight, do not lower your intake to compensate.

ETA: dont expect mad gainz just because youre taking creatine. if you are still eating at a deficit, the muscle you will build will be minimal and taper off quickly.

If you manage to lose weight and gain musc,e, please post your secrets. Because current science says it cannot be done.

First off, if interested in gaining muscle and strength i would check this out.

Its a simple and easy rutien to follow, and doesnt leave you in the gym 7 days a week to get results, i find one workout for me is about 25-30 min and you get faster the more you do it. Also has a handy little app for your smartphone which tracks data for you.


Info on Creatine.

Creatine is one of the most widely-researched bodybuilding and sports supplements on the market.

Does that mean it will work for you? Or is even right for you? Not necessarily.

It does, however, have a fairly extensive body of published research that validates it efficacy in certain groups and under certain controlled-conditions. Some people report great results with creatine, and others find it a complete waste of money.

Creatine is a naturally-ocurring organic acid that is plentiful in skeletal tissue like muscle. Creatine is used by the body to regenerate ATP – a chemical that transports energy into the cells. When you perform work (for example, curling a dumbbell) the cells in your muscles get their energy from ATP. When you experience fatigue, it’s because your cells have consumed the availble ATP. When you rest, ATP is regenerated, allowing your to perform more work.

Creatine (specifically phosocreatine which is converted from creatine) “buffers” ATP at a cellular level, in theory allowing you to perform more work with out being as easily fatigued.

Creatine is both a muscle volumizer (meaning it drives fluid into the muscle, making it larger — although this is usually temporary) and also can increase your performance in the gym in terms of recovery time between reps. In other words, some people find that creatine allows them to do a rep or two more without fatiguing, which over time can increase mass.

The effectiveness of creatine supplementation in terms of lean muscle gains may be dependent largely on your current diet. Creatine is naturally present in meats and poultry, so if you already have a diet high in those foods, you may not experience the same results as people who eat less of these foods. Vegetarians, for example, often experience the most noticeable results from creatine.

The jury is still out on the long-term effects of creatine supplementation, but it is generally considered safe for use in healthy adults.

Otherwise quote and provide the person who wrote it some credit. Strong first post though.

It's fine to take, I've taken it on and off since the early 90s when it came to market. Just drink a lot of water and don't worry about a loading dose. Just take 5 to 10 g / day and that's it. It's not 'needed' but can help you get an extra rep or two and slightly better pumps. But it's cheap and well studied beyond any other supplement out there, so go ahead if you want to try it.

you can loose weight and gain muscle

http://stronglifts.com/5x5 can show you how.

You will gain about .5lbs of muscle a week while loosing 1 lb of fat give or take a few oz.

No, no you cant. Additionally, stronglifts is a strength centric program. Not hypertrophy centric.

fat weighs more than muscle so you loose more and gain less. your gains/losses will also change with proper diet.

i have lost 10 lbs in two weeks by cutting out soda and fatty foods and working out 3x a week.
