mix it in warm water(or at least some type of liquid) and let it sit for a min or two to let it break down, if you just throw it back your body wont process is properly and youl just piss most of it out and could cause some stomach issue too. common sense i think?
Can I take the whole 5grams of creatine after workout or should I spread it in the entire day like 1 in the morning 1 in the afternoon and 1 in the evening? same question during non-workout day.
So ive been working out for about 2 weeks now using no supplements at all and i was thinking about using creatine.. Creatine to me has been described as the "Safe steroid" (Like its like steroids, only no harm) Is that true? How fast will you see results if you are working out on a regular basis? Thanks for all of the help! Good luck everyone!
What brand of Creatine and Whey protein to buy ? there are so many out there and they all say the same. I am confused. I have been working out, lifting the weight and all that, but i need more strenght. i am 5'9 and 150lbs for a 32 yrs male
read on the damn....container it comes it,holy shit....yall are retarded just like instrustions depends what kind you buy...you can buy, post, or pre....either one is good
First of all, skip the load phase. You don't need to load creatine. Anything 20 grams or more of any kind of powder in your stomach is bad, I don't care what it is, even baby powder. Loading can cause stomach upset or cramps. So just stick with 5 grams of creatine a day with plenty of water. Secondly, You don't need to cycle off creatine. Creatine is completely natural. You eat creatine by eating meat. It's a natural metabolite in your body.
@kraziekd im sorry, but you're not all right. even though creatine is natural and a lot of meat contains it, our body has creatine receptors which get "burned out" after a while and they need to recover. so you definately NEED to cycle it off to get better results
@kraziekd moron adrenaline, DMT, Testosterone are all natural doesnt mean you should take it all the time. You do need to cycle creatine. in higher than natural levels it can destroy your kidneys. If you load it and cycle it properly,in addition to staying well hydrated, it is perfectly healthy. People like you are the idiots that get killed from taking supplements. Too much of any vitamin can even kill you.
Guys, wait until you are at least 16 before supplementing or even lifting heavy weights at all. Make sure you get somebody who knows what they are talking about to show how to use supplements and show you proper technique for lifting. If you don't keep proper form when using weights, you won't get much of a gain so there would be no point in taking the supplement in the first place.
when u say u can loose some of the size, and strength would it be enough to effect me in football? like i am a pretty strong kid right now, but i wanna get my arms, and chest a bit biger so i was looking up creatine, but if i did take it, and then stoped (id probably take it for a month or 2) would i see a big loose of muscle size and strength?
@perker180 Eating your protein through out the day is how it should be. From morning all the way before you sleep. ex: oatmeal with pretein , egg whites, chicken breasts, etc. BUt after every work out you automatically need protein in you. The fastest way to do this is by drinking a protein shake containing atleast 20 -25 grams of protein. The best and healthiest protein is whey protein. dnt forget about ur carbs: Green Vegggies. ur Vitamins and omega 3 oil.
@perker180 Dude not all "oil" is bad. Olive oil is good for you. and if you didnt know the fish you eat also has omega 3 oil. Its not complicated. if ur realy into body building or just working out then this is the basic things you need to dow in order to get some results. trust me, its 40 % weight lifitng and 60% Nutrition.
@lezamaj7 Just remember 60% carbs 30% protien, if you're already eating this much protien don't waste your money on protien powder as your body will just send it down the pan, the last 10% is things such as your vitamins and minerals, Olive oil is for your joints so again recamended, the capsules are good enogh and cheap enough, holland and barret are great for most things and they are always doing special deals on a whole bunch of stuff including creatineso, go check them out as I do.

@perker180 Just remeber 60% of carbs, 30% protien and if you're all ready eating enough protien don't bother with protien pwders as your body will just throw it out and you'll be wasting your money, the laqst 10% are vitamins, minerals as for oils olive oil capsules will see you right and this is vital for your joints hope this helps.
@perker180 Ok, the Natural fish has the omega 3 oils. thats good to raise ur metabolism (helps burn fat). BUt the tuna fish oil that comes in the can is not good kuz its not natural. Do ur research. You want to lift naturally well all you need is: Flax seeds, Vitamins and minerals, Whey protein, Good nutrition (no saturated fats,no sugars, not too much sodium), Good rest (8 hrs of sleep) and dedication. If there were some things i said u didnt understand, then look them up nd do research
you can take it both before and after , befor for energy and strenght , afater ...well imagine your muscle like a sponge it absorbs all what it needs to recover.
@thizLITTLEmama u need to take creatines 30 minutes before work out....but dont forget to drink a whole bottle of water every hour when you're lifting....then take proteins after work out....and before u go to bed.
@lofrangollo Thats the truth guys. That is what my Pharmacist and my doctor said. Creatine helps you do extra reps in the gym, so taking it before is recommended. There is no reason to take it again afterwards when the Creatine is already in your system.
@efadaei take creatine 30-45 minutes before your workout. Creatine is used to hydrate your muscles so you would gain a bit of water weight but it also helps you do more reps. Take Whey protein, complex and simple carbs after your workout and you would be good to go.
No...less water gets in your muscle but you wont lose size of the muscle fiber. You might not do quite as much weight as before, but if you workout regularly while on creatine then you will probably do when you cycle off than before you started.
Muscles don't just go away and I don't know where you got the idea that you're going to get fat again. That's a whole different game.
@myez hey i was wondering when to take my creatine..im new to this..do i take it in the morning? do i take it as a pre? post? do i take creatine with my protein shake? and how many grams do i take in total? (per day) and when i dont workout how many grams do i take and when
The first week i took 2-4 times a day 5g creatin (10-20g a day), the next 3 month every day 2-4 g of creatin followed by an month-long break. (5g of creatin is 1,1kilo of raw beef). in the highphase your weight could increase between 1-3 kilo.
@nickessss i bought powder and there was a scoop but for a little more money u could buy pills and i think a pill is 3g of creatin so u should begin with taking 5 times a day a pill...
Hey guys I have a question. I row and lift some weights aswell. If I start taking creatine, will it effect my endurance in a positive way or a negative way?
Hi, im looking for advice on whether i should take creatine. I am 15 years old and are looking to improve my endurance in sport ( as i do boxing and other cardio excercises) and also i want to gain more muscle as i go to the gym. Any advice you guys can offer, on whether i should take it or not and if ill be ok using it is welcome. Thanks.
dont listen to either of these dudes take it and smash it down as much as u want it doesnt have side affects im 17 and i smash it down like its nothing everytime im thirsty pretty much
im 16 and ive been taking creatine for about 9 months and ive seen a big change in my endurance, strength, muscle size etc. in my opinion it would be safe for you to take it. but make sure you drink lots of water
at least 10 glasses a day (thats what it says on my creatine bottles) lol
personally for me i took my creatine and shakes after my workouts and it seemed to work well but like the clip says you must hydrate during the day with liquids as the whole basis of creatine is water retention in the muscle cells The only side effect i ever had were twitching muscles which was weird yet i think my muscles yearned for a work out by the way you young guys work on core strength first then get into the weights that way ur muscles and back can deal with the stresses of body building
is apple juice a good thing to take creatine with... if not what is and please dont say grape cuz i just got some and it has citris which is bad with creatine
@efadaei - you seem to know a lot about creatine. I have a question. I take whey protein everyday but now i m starting creatine. So, when should i take it? I mean should i take creatine immediately after the workout and then wait for 20 min and then take whey protein or i should take creatine before workout and protein after post w? thanks
@collathrax take it after because it will help you build muscle faster and help you recover faster........if you take it before IMO its a waste.....just have a meal before you workout about 45min before your workout.....or take a Pre-workout.
@collathrax yea i weight train after school and all the football players (im in high school) they take it right before they walk out to go work out...and i take it before too...and it helps throughout your workout..it helps you with more reps
@collathrax your impression was right it is a pre-workout supplement...I like to take arginine with it as well to help with blood flow and all with either grape juice or apple juice...the sugar in the juice will help to transport it into your blood so it can get quickly into your muscles
@collathrax There is so many different ways you can take creatine. I'm taking a powder right now and I take a scoop before and a scoop after. The reason I take it before is to get the blood flow and nutrients to my muscles. I take it after because mine also has glutamine in it which helps you recover for my next workout. Best of luck to you with your working out! Just remember whether you do it before or after and your working out its better than not doing anything at all
yes, as soon as you're done working out your body hungers for nutrients. The most important meal for someone who's trying to gain muscle is after a workout. I drink my creatine + protein shake right after a workout.
yo man, i just started taking creatine again for about a week and a half or something and i been working out with it even just pushups and dips and my chest has gotten much bigger already i cant really see in the arms but it makes you feel beast afterwards atleast it does me, i dont know if its how my body takes it or what but i take just a teaspoon a day and maybe take a break off of it for a day or 2 once in awhile, beast mode
so how long will it take for your muscle fibers to reach the potential the creatine did? and after you cycle it how long do you stay off it and the continue the cycle ?
potential is limitless, your body always uses creatine. dont waste your product on a loading phase its been show that it takes almost a month to fill your muscle creatine storage whether you mega dose or not. the average male uses 2.5g of creatine from storage a day supplementing with 5g pre workout and once on off days will work just as well as mega dosing.
come on man seriously.. how do u know that?? and surely it depends what type of creatine u take, how strong it is, and how much of it u take a day. and also its no different to taking shakes, getting big and stunting growth, if u get big ur gunna stunt urself anyway coz of bone fusion. im 15 and need a bit of a boost at my current plateau, 15 should be fine.
You should always, ALWAYS, train natural untill your body is mature. Taking supplements at 15 is not a very smart thing to do. Ofcourse, it probably wont hurt you, since creatine is very safe to use. Im just trying to remind you, consider what you're doing about 10 times, and surely ask advice from your personal trainer, a doctor or someone else who can help you with it.
@MichielVic do you think using supplements at 15 will really hurt because i been using alot of creatine and whey protein will this harm my body in the long run
@MichielVic hey i was wondering when to take my creatine..im new to this..do i take it in the morning? do i take it as a pre? post? do i take creatine with my protein shake? and how many grams do i take in total? (per day) and when i dont workout how many grams do i take and when
@futb0lista7777777 pre-workout, 45 minutes before workout so you body absorbs it. Don't take it like 5 minutes before you start working. Take the Whey Protein after work out so your muscle could use that protein as the building block.
well!! 15 is still too early. if u want eat red meat. it is rich in creatine. it will heal. u'll get the boost which u need now.. if it doesnt work then go 4 creatine ethyl ester, its is perhaps the best available creatine available in market. it dissolved in body very easily. if needed why dont u consult a physician. he'll help u understand it better, till then CHEERS
so are u!! have u ever hit gym in ur life. dude talk 2 experts. i am no expert. but i train with the current mr india daily in the gym. its his advise to the teenagers. n guess what he's trainin since 1980, when u kids were wettin beds at night.. grow up. he always knows better than us n FYI stop replyin n my comment. i really dont give a shit!!
u workout 3-4 times a day!!?? thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard at ur age! unless ur on steroids. im 15, i train 3 times a week, you need proper repair time, ESPECIALLY at our age. we dont need steroids to help growth and repair, because we're at our key point of it. you will of already stunted ur growth doing training 3-4 times a day at age of 15. STOP NOW.
you don't lose the muscle that you worked for, you just lose the "creatine muscle" You will still gain muscle naturally from the workouts, its just that the extra effect will go away
Oh ok, mono did nothing for me but perhaps I should of been taking it right after my workout when my body could have absorbed it. But regardless I did not feel anything from it, diffrent people react diffrent. Ya I did gain weight. Maybe I should try that ethylester or something. IDK, perhaps later...doing fine right now without it.
No its not, creatine is not good for the body whatever your age, and more if your 16 because your still growing.Protein could be better for you at this moment
im 17 i started taking it.. dont listen to him there havent been any negative side effect in any studdies. make sure to drink losts of water and youll be good.
Im 17, and am new to creatine. I'll be buying it "SizeOn" is the brand. I understand to workout and drink lots of water, but how much grams do I take? Also I Take the creatine 30 minutes before the workout obviously but do I also take it after the workout?
@kenstheman01 hey i was wondering when to take my creatine..im new to this..do i take it in the morning? do i take it as a pre? post? do i take creatine with my protein shake? and how many grams do i take in total? (per day) and when i dont workout how many grams do i take and when
lol. dat was mean. but hey some people are misinformed about the weight training thing. they body builders are wanting to lose. which is the complete oposite. eat more , gain more. thats the matto.
Can you use creatine for 3 months, even if there isn't enough in the boddle for 3 months? Can you lose fat weight while gaining musle weight while taking creatine? PLEASE HELP ME!
Weight training with creatine will slowly burn fat. Remember that muscle weighs 3 times more than fat so if your primarily using weights, you might not lose much weight, but your body fat will still decrease.
To burn fat at the fastest rate, do weights for 15 - 30 minutes, then cardio for the second half of your work out. (I can explain why if you're interested). Cardio is KEY for losing fat. Burning calories is almost as important as the calories you're eating. Nutrition is # 1
If i have a healthy diet, spinach, fish, chicken, nothing fried, vegitables, fruits etc., will this help me lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, and will it show?+hour 1/2 cardio
absolutely! However, while just cardio will give you good muscle defenition, those muscles won't be as big as if you were weight training. It WILL show if you stick to it. 1 1/2 hrs of intense cardio is a long session, so don't do that everyday unless you're in great shape. 3 - 4 times a week is plenty.
Many people think to lose fat you ONLY need to eat less calories, but then your metabolism will slow down and you won't burn those calories as well. You want to have an active metabolism so still eat plenty, but in smaller meals 5 or 6 times a day. One of those meals 1 - 2 hrs before workout and 1 directly after. Throw in that intense cardio workout and you will burn many more calories. (Btw, the funnest cardio workout is sex!)
hi, after loading phase what dosage should i take the creatine, im about 175 pounds and 18 yrs old and 6ft tall, i heard that after loading phase(about 5 grams per day) to take it for about a month then 2 weeks off . but i also heard that taking creatine on a regular basis is not healthy. so please help me out on this . and by the way im going to take BSN CELLMASS im taking GENR8 Vitargo also is that ok for protein or should i stop and take whey protein instead with the creatine thanks - MIKE
if u just decide to stop taking creatine then im pretty sure u wont have to same results, just make sure too keep on taking protien, creatine helps load the mucles with water and when u stop taking it then it wont load it up as much but protein is important to repair the muscles when u just lift weights , so basically yeah, if u stop taking creatine u wont have the same strength
you wont have the same amount of adenosin tri phosphat (ATP) if you stop taking creatine, so lets say you`re only able to make 12 muscle contractions instead of 14. Loading water is a side effect.
im going to start using creatine tomorrow but when do i use it, and how many times a day do i use it. and when ive taken it for like 5-7 days the loading days. do i take it before i hit the gym or after ? PLEASE HELP
whats up buddy... Your going load through out the day... 3 scoops a day distributed equaly through the day... and i used it as a pre workout... take that last scoop 30mins before ya workout.. and stay hydrated... ya might experience some cramping to
Yeah I loaded for 1 week (pure creatine mono) My main concern was will bloat me ... The ONLY side effect I had was my muscles GREW and I was stronger and I recovered better. Yup it's no BS it works.
hey man. i have the gnc vitamin pack called sport. it has all that good stuff in it. ium just confused as to if i should take it in the morning as i usually do with my normal multivitmain or if i should wait and take it before football lifting around 245
i have herd that you are suppose to take creatine before your workout and also that you are suppose to take it post work out. it would make more sense to me to take it before because of how it supposedly gives you that one extra rep. if you know the answer to my question please say something
The safety of creatine monohydrate supplementation has been a concern for year now, but study after study continue to confirm that it is a completely safe, when taken in the recommended doses. No strong evidence has linked short, medium or long term creatine supplementation to the deterioration of the function of the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, or liver.
mix it in warm water(or at least some type of liquid) and let it sit for a min or two to let it break down, if you just throw it back your body wont process is properly and youl just piss most of it out and could cause some stomach issue too. common sense i think?

im 16 and ive been taking creatine for about 9 months and ive seen a big change in my endurance, strength, muscle size etc. in my opinion it would be safe for you to take it. but make sure you drink lots of water
at least 10 glasses a day (thats what it says on my creatine bottles) lol
parkerman16 1 year ago
personally for me i took my creatine and shakes after my workouts and it seemed to work well but like the clip says you must hydrate during the day with liquids as the whole basis of creatine is water retention in the muscle cells The only side effect i ever had were twitching muscles which was weird yet i think my muscles yearned for a work out by the way you young guys work on core strength first then get into the weights that way ur muscles and back can deal with the stresses of body building

@collathrax take it after because it will help you build muscle faster and help you recover faster........if you take it before IMO its a waste.....just have a meal before you workout about 45min before your workout.....or take a Pre-workout.

@collathrax your impression was right it is a pre-workout supplement...I like to take arginine with it as well to help with blood flow and all with either grape juice or apple juice...the sugar in the juice will help to transport it into your blood so it can get quickly into your muscles
zizzyzam 1 year ago
@collathrax There is so many different ways you can take creatine. I'm taking a powder right now and I take a scoop before and a scoop after. The reason I take it before is to get the blood flow and nutrients to my muscles. I take it after because mine also has glutamine in it which helps you recover for my next workout. Best of luck to you with your working out! Just remember whether you do it before or after and your working out its better than not doing anything at all

@collathrax creatine gives you energy, which you need before your workout and is good for muscle growth/repair which you need after.

take it in the morning if you're not working out that day, but optimal use should be after a workout. Works well with a protein shake.

cameneroz28 2 years ago
yes, as soon as you're done working out your body hungers for nutrients. The most important meal for someone who's trying to gain muscle is after a workout. I drink my creatine + protein shake right after a workout.

so how long will it take for your muscle fibers to reach the potential the creatine did? and after you cycle it how long do you stay off it and the continue the cycle ?
Lucassfit 2 years ago
potential is limitless, your body always uses creatine. dont waste your product on a loading phase its been show that it takes almost a month to fill your muscle creatine storage whether you mega dose or not. the average male uses 2.5g of creatine from storage a day supplementing with 5g pre workout and once on off days will work just as well as mega dosing.

shashislovemail 2 years ago
and why not ?
xxbmxownagexx 2 years ago
taking creatine b4 18 will lead to disruption of epiphyseal fusion, ( bone fusion ). An additional side effect here is irreversibly stunted growth.
It is also believed that till age of 18, children may still lack the androgens which assist in muscular growth.
shashislovemail 2 years ago
come on man seriously.. how do u know that?? and surely it depends what type of creatine u take, how strong it is, and how much of it u take a day. and also its no different to taking shakes, getting big and stunting growth, if u get big ur gunna stunt urself anyway coz of bone fusion. im 15 and need a bit of a boost at my current plateau, 15 should be fine.
xxbmxownagexx 2 years ago
You should always, ALWAYS, train natural untill your body is mature. Taking supplements at 15 is not a very smart thing to do. Ofcourse, it probably wont hurt you, since creatine is very safe to use. Im just trying to remind you, consider what you're doing about 10 times, and surely ask advice from your personal trainer, a doctor or someone else who can help you with it.

futb0lista7777777 1 year ago
@futb0lista7777777 pre-workout, 45 minutes before workout so you body absorbs it. Don't take it like 5 minutes before you start working. Take the Whey Protein after work out so your muscle could use that protein as the building block.

although you wont loose weight or if you do it will be muscle replacing fat.
epraider2012 2 years ago
Thanks man
Gmoney3290 2 years ago
Weight training with creatine will slowly burn fat. Remember that muscle weighs 3 times more than fat so if your primarily using weights, you might not lose much weight, but your body fat will still decrease.
To burn fat at the fastest rate, do weights for 15 - 30 minutes, then cardio for the second half of your work out. (I can explain why if you're interested). Cardio is KEY for losing fat. Burning calories is almost as important as the calories you're eating. Nutrition is # 1
samuraiKevin2 2 years ago
If i have a healthy diet, spinach, fish, chicken, nothing fried, vegitables, fruits etc., will this help me lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, and will it show?+hour 1/2 cardio
Gmoney3290 2 years ago
absolutely! However, while just cardio will give you good muscle defenition, those muscles won't be as big as if you were weight training. It WILL show if you stick to it. 1 1/2 hrs of intense cardio is a long session, so don't do that everyday unless you're in great shape. 3 - 4 times a week is plenty.
samuraiKevin2 2 years ago
Many people think to lose fat you ONLY need to eat less calories, but then your metabolism will slow down and you won't burn those calories as well. You want to have an active metabolism so still eat plenty, but in smaller meals 5 or 6 times a day. One of those meals 1 - 2 hrs before workout and 1 directly after. Throw in that intense cardio workout and you will burn many more calories. (Btw, the funnest cardio workout is sex!)

hi, after loading phase what dosage should i take the creatine, im about 175 pounds and 18 yrs old and 6ft tall, i heard that after loading phase(about 5 grams per day) to take it for about a month then 2 weeks off . but i also heard that taking creatine on a regular basis is not healthy. so please help me out on this . and by the way im going to take BSN CELLMASS im taking GENR8 Vitargo also is that ok for protein or should i stop and take whey protein instead with the creatine thanks - MIKE

but after u stop taking it, will you always have the strenght you have gained (if you just keep lifting weights)??? please answer
piccolograndeRoby 2 years ago
if u just decide to stop taking creatine then im pretty sure u wont have to same results, just make sure too keep on taking protien, creatine helps load the mucles with water and when u stop taking it then it wont load it up as much but protein is important to repair the muscles when u just lift weights , so basically yeah, if u stop taking creatine u wont have the same strength
tazzvato111 2 years ago
you wont have the same amount of adenosin tri phosphat (ATP) if you stop taking creatine, so lets say you`re only able to make 12 muscle contractions instead of 14. Loading water is a side effect.

The safety of creatine monohydrate supplementation has been a concern for year now, but study after study continue to confirm that it is a completely safe, when taken in the recommended doses. No strong evidence has linked short, medium or long term creatine supplementation to the deterioration of the function of the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, or liver.
