Ever experience side effects from it? Thinking about taking it when I finally bulk but not sure.

I've only been taking it regularly for like 4 months now, I believe. Nothing yet. I've never seen anything online about it either. The only thing to note is the small amount of size/strength gains you'll see only last as long as you take it haha. So as soon as you stop it'll go away.

That's why I've always been weary. I'm not trying to take it for life. I know every jacked dude probably took it though. But for the potential side effects and when I stop I lose the gains? I don't see the point imo.

I don't think there are any side effects to creatine. People used to buy into the old wives table of hair loss but that's been proven false.

Yeah, I know. It's the most studied supp apparently. Just got me scared and when I stop taking it I lose all the gains? I don't see the point but you should keep us updated on your journey. I might start taking it when I bulk.

Been taking creatine on and off for years. No side effects what so ever. It definitely helps.

Helps how though if when you stop taking it you lose all the gains?

You get stronger and you lift heavier. You don't lose all your gains, you lose what you gained through water retention.

 

[Mr Hockey]

I used to take and try all kinds of supplements from GNC (lifetime natty). Now I don't take anything, not even protein powders, and im nicely jacked.

umm not with creatine, that happens when you come off a cycle of gear or whatever enhancements you have taken

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

Muscletech Platinum Multi
Vitamin D3
Apple cider vinegar gummies
Loratadine allergy pill (not a supp, but still a daily)

I don't eat lunch, but I'll drink wheatgrass powder if I'm particularly hungry or tired.

I added the ACV gummies about a month ago. They do seem to help with my appetite and blood sugar.

 

[justanotherleafsfan]

Test proprionate, gonatropin and aromatase inhibitor, probably cheaper than wasting money on supplements and safe to use.

Get an endocrinologist.

Pre-Workout (150-200MG Cafeine)
Whey
Delta Charge (Intra Workout drink containing electrolytes, BCAAs and multiple kinds of carbs)

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Double Rich Chocolate
Optimum Micronized Creatine Powder
Cellucor C4 Extreme Pre-Workout
Fish Oil pills
Multivitamin
For better potency I take Kamagra generic, it works great. It causes relaxation of smooth muscle cells of cavernous body and acceletation of blood flow to them. Start working after a couple of hours after taking them.

Mix my own concoction by buying in bulk for pre/post supplements. Sometimes experiment with different doses but this is generally it

Pre-workout:
5g BCAA
2g Taurine
6g Citrulline Malate
2g Beta-Alanine
200mg caffeine
1.5 Betaine
1.5 L-Tyrosine
1.5g Creatine (used to take HCl, now Kre-Alkalyn buffered mono)
Stevia
A good attitude

Intra
Water

Post-workout
5g BCAA
5g Glutamine
26g whey protein
15g dextrose - used to be 30g but dropped it and it has worked out better for me

Holy crap I remember those days. For years, my cabinets were dominated by similar products. Nowadays, I usually have a preworkout around, which I use maybe 10-20% of the time, and a basic whey post workout, which I always take. But I don’t even care about brands anymore, to a degree of course. But basically whatever is on sale at GNC.

Wow blast from the past. Thanks for posting this. Been a while and it is neat to see my own evolution - I am similar to you that the cabinets used to be full of this and that. Now it is 200mg caffeine before hand, and a 5g glutamine, 5g BCAA, & protein for post. Don't know about you but for me the change had nothing to do with being frugal and more to do with what actually works. As for brands I am picky as I go for unflavoured (except protein powder).

Who's saying you lose your gains? The benefit of creatine is to get more out of your workouts, like an additional rep or two for each set (more or less). You'll lose water retaining when stopping, but the body obviously can't seperate the gains from creatine from the gains you would have gotten regardless. Obviously if you take creatine and you don't put the extra work in, you'll gain nothing. If you're doing to exact same rep/set/weights after starting to take creatine you might as well save your money.

When exercising, you’re supposed to fail.

It will make you more comfortable failing throughout life. Many people are afraid to fail in life but that’s the only time you truly grow whether it be physically or mentally

 

[Minnewildsota]

I don't use any supplements. Maybe I should but I don't. I do it all natural by eating lot's and lot's of food.

The only supplements that have proven to actually work are:
Creatine
Pre-workout
BCAAs - IF you don’t get enough protein

I wouldn’t waste money on the others unless they give you the placebo effect. since you’re not taking any now, I doubt that’s the case

EAA’s are more important than BCAAs.

Either way, not really required

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Supplements aren’t required at all.

the main thing is how hard you work out and if you’re eating enough.

most people fail in the kitchen regarding reaching their goals

Well of course.
Sorry, I wasn’t clear.
Protein powder isn’t required but is helpful to hit protein goals
Creatine isn’t required but helps with lifting and recovery.
Aminos ONLY help if you’re not getting enough protein
