Reply With Quotei have never heard of creatine inhibiting blood flow.
it sounds like you have some tightness through your shoulder joint though.
What does your training routine look like? Do you stretch? Do you sleep with your arms above your head or under your pillow?

Creatine Hindering Blood Flow
I have searched and could not find anywhere any info concerning my question.
I have been working out consistently for about a year now and hit a peak, so i picked up some creatine tabs and have taken them sporadically for about three weeks.
I have not differed sleeping positions at all from before I noticed the problem, which is, Ive awaken with my arm completely numb from shoulder to finger tips.
I havent gained much size considering my inconsistency so I dont think size is causing the constriction, which was confirmed today when all morning my hand on that same arm seemed lack in blood and my finger tips tingling.
So my questions being a) does creatine inhibit blood flow?
and b) am I going to die? but seriously any other logical reasoning
Oh, ps Ive always noticed my fingertips whiter and more numb others when its cold.

I sleep with my arms under the pillow. What are the ramifications?
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

nothing, unless you have some impingment problems and you are waking up with numb arms/hands.

I just recently went back to DB flys from cable and have went pretty heavy at that also have been going kinda heavier with delt workouts as well. Oh and Im sure mass isnt the problem, Ive been this size before with no problems
I do sleep with a arm under the pillow and sometimes under me, I dont fall asleep that way just wake up. but never had a problem before. And I do stretch, a little before and even more after my warm up set.

all pushing...chest and shoulders should be balanced with equal pulling (and sometimes more pulling if you factor in scapular stabilizer work). Originally Posted by Spitfire
