recommend me Creatine,

[Zaraza]

What kind do I need if i decide to take it? Capsuls? or powder?

I would be ordering off amazon.com, unless theres a cheaper spot.


what do you recommend?

 

[Warboss Alex]

if you're in the USA, order from trueprotein.com or 1fast400.com

go with plain monohydrate at first then next time try CEE and compare the difference.

a friend of mine also recommended me creatine. he tells me a side effect may result of spots on your back. is it a worth it to try for gaining weight for skinny people like me?

IMHO creatine is a waste unless you are doing everything else right.

Make sure you're eating enough first before trying creatine. Supplements are not magic bullets, it really comes down to:

1) Eat fvckloads.
2) Train hard.
3) Rest well.

Creatine isn't needed until you have an awesome diet, enough daily protein intake, an awesome routine that you are following to the letter and at least 8 hours of sleep and still not gaining.

creatine isn't a weight gainer, it just boosts your workouts a little. skinny people need food and lots of it.

I'm pretty sure there are absolutely no results if you search "creatine" in this forum.

sarcasm there mrRuckus?

I went out and bought,

GNC monohydrate powder. It was on sale i got it for like 7 bucks for 50 servings. Im going to try it out see how it works. My only question is, do i take a serving each day? or only on the days i work out?

 

[Warboss Alex]

is it loaded with carbs? (i.e. is it flavoured)
if so throw it out and buy plain stuff from one of the above websites.

with monohydrate I'd probably say take as much as you can get away with without gastric distress. start with
- 5g daily (morning or night)
- 5g extra on workout days (post workout)

if this upsets your stomach, split your doses in two (i.e. morning and night and pre/post workout). some people seem to be sensitive to it. if you're fine with this then add some more and see what happens.

The creatine is unflavored, i take 1 teaspoon in the morning. So that means i should take 1 in morning and another one if i am working out?

This is perfect Alex, thank you.

I used to be against creatine, but figured i could try it out. This way when i say something about it, i can atleast have had expirience with it.

yes, exactly right. this should be enough for most people but you can experiment with higher doses if you want.

creatine is a good supplement (even though I never used it that much, at least not on its own, it was always part of homemade NO mixes), although not essential if you haven't got the basics down (fish oil, vitamin C, green/white tea etc)
