next month, i'm going to start working out again. i'm planning on using creatine again. the last time i used creatine, i used cell-tech, and that was several years ago. i'm sure that something better is out there nowadays. i'll also be taking eas myoplex 2x/day. what do you guys reccomend??

 

this doesnt look like a poll to me :thinking:

 

Cell Tech or Swole..good shiiiiiiiiiet.

 

smoke weed everday.. no clue about creatine

i quit weed though

 

never tried it myself, mainly because the people I knew who tried it lost a lot of mass when they stopped taking it. Just some 3rd person perspective, Rich or Jaymar88 would be ideal to talk to about this.

 

I tried it before. I work for a group of Cardiologists and they all strongly suggested that I stop using it. They said the creatine that isn't used turns into creatinine and is toxic to your kidneys. They asked how much I was taking and told them the suggested amount (I think it was 5mg) and they said there is no way a normal person could process that. I asked if I was working out hard would it get processed better and they said not significantly (meaning the average person working out hard still shouldn't use it). Seeing that they know the cardiovascular system better than I and they have had much more experience with things of this nature, I decided to quit using it, and honestly I couldn't tell a big difference when I stopped, maybe it was just me. HTH.

 

the long term effects are still unknown, although most physicians will lean toward the conservative side.

i use micronized creatine (dymatize brand), on 21-30 day cycles including a loading period. i noticed greater stamina/less fatigue, which helps you get more reps and sets in. it also helps the muscles retain water to appear fuller.

anyway my personal belief with supplements is to start using them after you get a solid routine down. let your body get used to regular weight training, then add in supplements later.

it seems like everyone here is gungho about supplements, without really weight training first?

 

:squint:

 

i voted smoke weed everyday

but cigarettes, powerlines, microwaves, alcohol are bad for you kindneys too so your doctor is full of bs. the only reason im taking it is because i want to hit a goal and ill stop soon after and hopefully i can maintain :happysad:

then again i work out every single day

45mins cardio
1:30 weights
and 3-4 days a week of 2+ hours of basketball h:

 

I'm in my 7th week of lifting and just started adding whey protein about a little over a week ago. :dunno:
