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...
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Creatine?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.
"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.

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...

"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.

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 Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
