anyone used it? if so, long-term or short-term? negative side effects? tell me what happened!

[Gurre]

I'm using creatine pyruvate. Have been using it for two cycles (where the duration was about a month). No side effects noticed but dramatic increase of strength without getting alot bulkier.

I have used other types of creatine, but the body gathers alot of water then. Pyruvate is the best by far

i take creatine monohydrate and ive gained 20 pounds of muscle in a week.some people want to try all the new creatines,but monohydrate works great for me.I'm taking the body fortress brand and the only thing that happens to me is a brief stomach ache and more strength and endurance in the gym

[Gurre]

u sure it's muscle and not like... 80% water? Besides 20 pounds of muscle in a week.... not even roids give you that kind of growth!

[jdizzle2300]

My bad i meant 10 pounds in 2 weeks and yes its muscle because my bodyfat hasnt increased.My bench went up 35 pounds in 2 days

well you bodyfat hasn't gone up but the water contense in your muscle sure has. Yes, you get stronger but that's mainly the placebo effect!

I tried Creatine years ago when it was first all the rage in training suplaments. I found it gave me a small edge in training when I was doing heavy weights. But I bulked up alot on it. When I stopped using it I pissed so much for weeks as the fluid left my muscle tissues. I also looked softer than I thought I would. I understand they have come a long way since the early days of creatine. But personally I look more for suplaments that make me thiner now, not bigger or stronger. I want to be that fast little guy, not the guy with no neck...already did that part of my life...damn hard to find shirts that fit for work!@

What do you guys think of whey protien?

[Gurre]

great protein!

.... Creatine has mixed reactions to everyone.. Gurre is right about most of it... I am using a creatine called TREN.. its very expensive and alot of fighters use it.. It gives me great endurance.. I honestly can say i have gained at least 5 pounds of muscle this week.. I feel stronger.. I look better.. On the other hand.. It also increases testosterone levels.. which cause me horrible mood swings.. and hair growth lol.. But with every creatine you need to cycle it.. I learned the hard way and used a Creatine called CONCRETE and it started to deposit water to parts of my body including my kidney.. i later had to have it removed...But honestly nothing will get you big unless you dedicate yourself steadily to the weight room.. start small get BIG

[Gurre]

yeah, then there's that too. High protein diet combined with creatine will give you testosteron levels that are either borderline or a bit over the accepted value. Meaning you could get a positive roid test...

[Kensei]

WOW, got the kidney removed or the water....if the kidney, that is way to much to pay for five pounds!!

[Gurre]

I think he meant the water deposit
