Creatine is overrated if I’m being honest. Most people Ik wouldn’t stress about missing their creatine. Calling it a natural steroid is very exaggerated 😅. Of course it does help. But it’s so overhyped
Every time I tell people the compounds I’m using there always has to be that one dude that will say it is basically creatine, I’ve seen people compare creatine to HGH 🤦🏽♂️
Urs Kalescinski (German Bodybuilder) recommended taking 1 gramm per 10kg of bodyweight especially for people who train a lot (I train twice a day as a judo athlete with lots of high intensity Training) What do you think about this recommendation ?
Edit: I have been taking creatine for around a year now
Creatine made me huge and I lifted 315 for 5 reps for my PR. I also hit my growth spurt at 19 while on creatine and built my lower back up and am now 6'4 and I definitely believe creatine was a factor to this. I was previously 5'9 and in just 2 months hit 6'4.
Edit: Just to clarify to the morons under this comment. My PR was achieved after 2 years and 8 months of lifting. Creatine didn't directly contribute to my height, it did help a lot when it came to building muscle. My increased strength thus helped me when my growth spurt occured. Also since I was malnurished at the start adding supplements to my new daily regiment of protein after a few months I saw great results. When I started creatine I became fuller and more defined. Its not directly linked to my growth spurt, but it definitely helped me strengthen my weak back. So to translate: Creatine help make strong. Strong look good. Strong become tall. Strong reach top shelf.
I kinda wish I held off on using creatine when I first started lifting, because now I have no idea if creatine has actually increased my strength at all, or if my strength gain was just from noobie gains.
People forget creatine is found in red meat and pork, it’s hard to get sufficient amounts but 1 pound of grass fed beef typically has .8-1 gram of natural creatine
I took creatine and did my loading phase. After my loading phase I had the most extreme anxiety in my life. I’m not sure if it was the creatine but when I stopped taking it (about a week after) it mostly went away. Has anyone else had this problem? I looked into it on google and found that it is a symptom of some people
The only issue I have is the huge weight gain. I used to use it and it was great. That along with glutamine made me feel really good in the gym, I just gain so much weight I don't want to use it
The “5G is enough” u hear from all these fitness guys isn’t entirely true. MPMD has looked into the studies on the compound and it turns out that if ur a non responder u might need to take anywhere from 10-30g daily. Sounds like a lot? Yeah it is, and is not very common. But thought y’all should know

If i am overweight, do i need more creatine? Like 7g per day😊 ?
Only reason I haven’t taken it is cause of hair loss, don’t wanna go bald 😂
I’m not listening to anyone who says creatine is a steroid. It doesn’t bind to androgen receptors, and so isn’t a steroid.
HMB is probably the most effective thing I've seen apart from creatine; great combo
If you take creatine and pre workout you are not natty. You really need a boost before working out? Losers
God loves you he sent his one and only son and if we walk in the path Jesus walked in we will enter the kingdom of Heaven-
Loading phase is BS

What is HMB for?

Am I the only one who's getting more randome boners while taking creatine?

I must be one of the 30 percent of non responders. I had to stop though because it caused me unbearable bloating and cramping.
Code?
The more i watch ur vids, the more insane ur physique got, wtf💀💀

Is creatine worth getting on?
It’s also been shown that if you’re a non responder. Taking up to 10 grams can help
Nice transparent labs advertisement brah
Bro is looking massive 💀

I remember when u were a bum if u didn’t take créatine and bcaas

The only issue I have is the huge weight gain. I used to use it and it was great. That along with glutamine made me feel really good in the gym, I just gain so much weight I don't want to use it

another video over hyping creatine 🥱
Creatine hcl is better….. The only ingredients is creatine
It’s possible that the “non-responder” group were labeled that way because their bodies required a higher dosage than what’s recommended on the label
