Probably going on creatine monohydrate. It was recommended by multiple people. I just want to know is it true start looking bulky after just the loading stage? Also, I was wondering some methods you guys use when taking it. Methods meaning correct times to take it, correct amounts, should I take breaks from it etc...
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Creatine?

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Creatine acts as a cell volumizer so you will hold some fluid. You might notice a slight change in your look, and most users report a ~5 lb weight gain.
For monohydrate you will want to load. 5g 4 x a day for 5 days. Then 10g a day thereafter. take it with juice or gatorade as a carbohydrate will help you assimilate it faster. Stay hydrated while on. Creatine has been proven and re-proven safe and effective so dont listen to any BS that it will harm your kidneys, liver, etc.

Creatine is great. It's the way to go. Safe for kidneys, make sure to drink plenty of water.
I do one scoop of Fruit Punch Creatine with 1 cup (8-10 oz) of water. It tastes great. I consume it immediately after the work out.

Creatine is great, you don't need to load excessively a teaspoon a day on training days will do. It will give you good lean muscle if your diet is good and your training is plugged in. Jack 3d which contains creatine is really good too.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

This is what I do during the bulking up stage, I take one scoop before, and after my workout.EvilAgenda said:
Thanks guys! I'm going to start it in September. I'm looking to put on 15 lbs by Christmas so hopefully creatine can contribute to the effort. When do I take protein shakes when I'm on creatine? Currently I take them after workouts, but I was planning to take creatine after workouts...

OP, creatine is a cell volumizer and it helps you add a rep or two to heavy exercises. It adds a bit of extra "energy" in your muscles after the ATP (the energy "currency" molecule in the human body) reserves run out. The CTP reserves take over until they also run out.
Creatine is already found in the muscles. Supplementation helps you add some more.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

With the extra intensity he'll get from the creatine, it's very possible that it could help him to add muscle that he wouldn't otherwise have had. Also, he didn't say the weight had to be muscle; nothing wrong with a little water weight. Though, I do agree that the original poster should keep his expectations within reason. Creatine isn't exactly a wonder drug.
Yeah but I'm saying creatine won't actually give you jack if you don't know how to utilise it. Some people go on creatine and then try to bench 10kg heavier than they normally do, which isnt gonna go anywhere.
Volume, not mass. Keep that in mind OP.

LOL "C4 Extreme" by cellucor before your workout. It's creatine, no lame ass loading stage. You only drink it before you hit the gym it's a beautiful thing. I swear by that crap and I will always make sure to have some of it on hand even when i'm off it for special occasions, diving etc...
What I have felt creatine do is that it prevents your muscles from fatigue. So you get bigger because you can work out harder, longer...

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Should I start taking creatine?
Well alot of guys around here advocate creatine consumption for muscle gain/strength. Right now I'm kinda unsure whether I should be taking creatine when I just started lifting (2 and a half months ago.) I need some opinions from the veterans here :rock:

Sure. Just be sure to work hard, eat well and get enough sleep. Oh, and drink a lot of water.

Absolutely Konada, you know it.
Just like Tyte said, work out hard, eat well, and get 8 hours of sleep every day. It will make your progress to gain muscles 4 times faster.

Jeff Cavaliere reckons that you don't need to load and you don't need to cycle:

You can also use salmon fish this way because you can also find creatine in its meat.Creatine can also be found in red meats and tuna. However, it is not a good idea to eat an excessive amount of red meat due to its high saturated fat and cholesterol content.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
