Dang, as a 31 year old. its quite refreshing hearing a 19 year old talk about his training. Makes you remember how you were yourself. So fresh, so eager to learn and train! :-)
Tried creatine about 20 times over my 17 year lifting career and i can honestly say for me it does absolutely nothing. Like i might aswell eat flour.. zero.
By 'does nothing', do you mean it doesn't even change your body weight by 3-4 pounds? Coz if that's the case, it would be easy to know if you are a non responder.
I took creatine right away in the beginning of weight lifting so I never noticed a difference because I did not have anything to compare it to so I think I'm gonna get off it and see if there is a difference been on it for a little over 2 months.
been lifting for around 8 years right now. Creatine Monohydrate never worked for me, and always gave me stomach aches. The best thing that's worked out for me is Beta Alanine. Especially doing a bodybuilding split, it helps me push sm more
Pretty sure I'm a non responder. Creatine also fucks up my stomach and I get the shits 30 seconds after taking it. Lowered the dose to 2grams and I don't get the shits but I don't see any effects.
Being a non responder is a good thing, it means your muscles are already fully saturated with creatine without the need of supplementation so you get to save a couple of bucks!
good question and still no real answer. I'm not a dr but from what I've read 1# of beef = 1-2g creatine when RAW, cooking it decreases the creatine. I'm a rare to medium rare beef eater by preference and it turns out that it helps to save the creatine content. however you will produce 1-2g naturally if youre eating whole proteins. "Your body can produce creatine from the amino acids glycine and arginine ( 1 ). About half of your body's creatine stores come from the food you eat - especially red meat and seafood - and the rest is made in your liver and kidneys from amino acids"
Get off it and do some fasting and keto, the two things that make you start feeling weaker and then get on the creatine again. You will know after that for sure.
What would you expect from creatine usage? How would you know if it’s working or is or is t working for you other than just stopping taking it. There must be some kind of noticeable changes.
Its just highest and pure quality But generelly any creatine wich says its micronized, is practically the same as creapure Creapure is just a brand with patent of micronized creatine So if you found a company you trust and think is transparent wich has micronized creatine, just buy that
I've been thinking that I'm a non responder to creatine, but your comment makes me realize otherwise. I was flat bench dumbell pressing 14kg at a full set of 10 as my max. I started creatine and within 2 weeks I'm doing full sets of 28kg dumbbells as my max, and think I can actually do sets of 5 at 30kg dumbbells. I just pinned it down to newbie gains, natural strength, good genetics and a bit of muscle memory from being active in high school, but I guess I'm definitely a responder too
Creatine used to give me like a teeny tiny little perceiveable energy boost. The very first thing I would notice after taking my dose was the increased heart rate. The way I would take it: 1 heaping 5mg scoop in 1 gallon of water, consuming the entire mix within 60 minutes. I would dose up about 90 minutes before my workout. And I would do full body work for 2 hours. And then dose up on glutamine 30 minutes after body work. My diet was high in meat and carbs and leafy greens. I was trying to gain weight. I never did. Heaviest I've ever been was 174 lbs. I'm hovering around 150 lbs for the past 3 years. I always get really strong, but I don't seem to put in mass.
For people such as myself and you, we need to start counting calories on apps such as MyFitnessPal to really gain weight, otherwise we would just be eating really inconsistently.
I think that a fitness enthusiast who just wants to get stronger, bigger, more active and useful in all physical aspects of life should stay away from these supplements and performance boosters. Protein shakes and a multivitamin are more than than enough if your overall diet plan is dialed in properly and workouts comprise major strength and mass builders like squats, deadlifts, chin up, overhead presses, etc. and their variants then results do come gradually and are quite sustainable over long time.

@@siriusblack7714 some consider 1 percent a big deal, what's your opinion ?
Bro I started taking creatine again and lost like 20lbs of strength and stopped and gained it all back
I went from benching 40kg to 80kg in 2 weeks of taking creatine. Noobie gains but still massive difference post creatine.
wtf
