"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.

it didnt give you instructions? how cheap is it?
you have to load, this means:
days 1-5: take 5 heaping teaspoons per day.
after days 1-5(maintnence): take 2 heaping teaspoons 2x a day.
maybe once in the morning and once post workout
or whatever you find best.

you want to take 20g per day in the loading phase (days 1-5), then 5 to 10g per day for the rest of your cycle. Drink over a gallon of water per day.
There are a ton of creatine threads on here, just do a quick search and you'll find more than you need.

Ive read that the latest studies say u dont have to do a loading phase and just take like 5 (or was it 10?) g of creatine every day. Thats what im stickin to. Maybe a loading phase is better and those studies were bull****, but if u dont do a loading phase it will only take some days more for u to get loaded and have more water stored I guess..right?
"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.

seriously after about a week or so, you only need about 2g of creatine a day... the residual buildup would remain in the body for up to a month if you decided to discontinue use.

5g/day is definitely sufficient. Creatine, like many other supps, is taxing on the liver, so you don't wanna overdo it.

Two recent long term studies of (powder) creatine use have concluded that creatine use does NOT damage the liver or kidneys or harm the body in any other way if used correctly. The only reason creatine has received bad press is because of incorrect use from consumers.
You should also keep in mind that people get creatine just from eating red meat.
I don't have a link but my source comes from a mass gaining book that footnotes these two publications:
Poortmans J, Francaux M. "Long-Term Oral Creatine Supplimentation Does Not Impair Renal Function in Healthy Athletes." Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, (1999); 31:1108-111

"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.

shiftkey, from the way that quote is worded, is it definitely propoganda for the bodybuilding cause. "If used correctly" doesnt mean anything. Most likely, it means not taken as a supp/only from meat. In that case, you'd be getting less than 1g/day.

"Used correctly" means taken as directed on the label. Those studies were done just as the labels suggest.
