Lean body with Creatine??????

[billytk1]

Is it possible to maintain a lean ripped physique while using creatine supplements or will I retain too much water? and will creatine really enhance my strength? I have fooled around with creatine in the past but never stayed on long enough to see If I had results or not???

Creatine, multi, and protein are the 3 essentials IMO. You will have to try it and see how much water you retain, and yes it will increase your strength.

Creatine will enhance strength assuming you work out intensely and put the additional CP to good use at the end of a set.

The water retention from creatine occurs within the muscle so you should still appear lean, but perhaps a little softer. If you feel you're bloated stop using it and you'll soon expel the excess water.
