Thread: Creatine Gains

typically the maximum amount of intra-muscular water retention from creatine will be reached in 7-10 days. so what ever you gained the first 7-10 days is what you should lose once you come off.

personally I don't cycle creatine...

if u eat enough fat u wont need creatine becuz fat cells create a ton of atp.

Is it true that if you do not cycle creatine and you saty on it for too long it messes up your kidney?

I was having trouble gaining weight and I was stuck at 153lbs for about a year until I decided to use creatine. I would like to know if there is anything else apart from creatine that I can use in between creatine cycles or alone?

Creatine wont make you add mass. It does help you to train harder. To grow you need eat adequate cals with balanced macros.

Besides of course illegal steroids, are there any products out there that may help me gain mass that have little or no side effects? I have seen many products out there but I am afraid to take them because my wife and I are planning on having kids shortly?

First, I may be a n00b, but I do know that fat cells do not directly create ATP. If you are looking for a good source of building blocks to create ATP from, look to the liver.

Second, on the Internet there are only two ways that others may gage your intelligence. This is by what you write and how you write it.

Hahaha

I think this simple concept escapes a lot of people.

I'm not sure how much LBM one can gain in 6weeks, depends on diet I guess. I suspect most of it is water retention, but I may be talking out the anus

Yeah, it's called the right food. Most likely, you aren't eating enough and/ or eating the right foods to enable you to gain mass. The diet and nutrition section is your friend.

I do consume the right foods! I am eating a 2 - 1 ratio protein to carb meal. Along with glutamine,vitamin c and meal replacement shakes.
