    can't feel the lactic acid.

    I havent felt the real burning feel of lactic acid in a long time. The last time I felt it was on oct 21, 2004. That was a day after working on my chest and shoulders and it was only a mild feeling of lactic acid. Does this mean im not building muscle?

    No, it doesn't mean that. As a wise person once told me, "the burn" is not a good indicator of the quality of your workout.

    Besides, ever since I started taking creatine, I;ve felt very little burn in quite some time.
    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.

    creatine helps to buffer lactic acid...one of many reasons to supplement with creatine
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    I never knew that, I stopped using creatine whenI read here that it would cause water retention.

    a qualtiy creatine supplement made with high grade raw materials will only cause increased cellular hydration in skeletal muscle.

    From the internet

    Lactic acid - friend or foe?

    Lactic acid (lactate) is not:

    • responsible for the burn in the leg muscles when exercising very fast
    • responsible for the soreness you experience in the 48 hours following a hard session
    • is not a waste product
    Lactate is produced by the body all day long and is a key chemical which is used to dispose of dietary carbohydrate and, you will like this, also helps you from getting fat. During a hard session 20% of the lactate produced is used by the muscles to form glycogen which provides you with more energy. Sounds like a friend to me.
