Creatine - I recommend it!

I've slacked off going to the gym :8 But when I used to go I would notice teens who would work solely on their arms and they would look ridiculous with huge arms, and small legs. I don't take any sort of supplement except for the occasional Power Bar.

I do full body workouts, just on different days. The only reason why my body doesn't look big there is because I have a top on and I'm slanted

You do know that when you stop taking them you lose the water retention in your arm and they'll go back to normal right?

I do, but who says I'm going to stop taking them?

so you plan on taking them for the rest of your life? =P

for the people who are wondering if creatine makes your balls smaller and all that crap, the simple answer is no. Creatine is found in red meat and is perfectly safe as long as you stay well hydrated

I'll be on them for a good few years until I'm strong enough to start building hard muscle on my own without supplements. Creatine Monohydrate just retains water to put into your muscles. If you consume more than the recommended dose then you will mess up your kidneys something terrible. Creatine Monohydrate can also make you look a tad bloated but thats in rare cases. It also takes about 2 weeks to flush all the water from your system if you stop taking them.

Surely you already are strong enough to build muscle without supplements though? It won't happen as fast, but it'll be more natural and will be something you yourself have done rather than just an effect of making other things do the work for you

Thing is because of my routine I just run into plateau's all the time. Creatine also contains Magnesium Stearate which has been proven to help with plateau's. I could just go and change my routine but then my gains would be much lower than they could already possibly be.

People say I'm cheating but if you look at it, I'm not. I'm not just using creatine to boost my size, I'm using it for energy purposes too. It helps with lifting and helps you lift harder and stronger.
