 For those who work out and know about Creatine, the nutritional supplement thats supposed improve muscle growth, do you suggest using it.  Ive been working out for awhile now and havent seen any drastic results.  Me and a friend are considering using Creatine to help. My friend knows people that have used it and have seen improvements.  Anybody here know anything about it?  Possibly Arkan or you other strong blotes im sure have heard things about it. |

 Creatine will give you more energy enabling you to do a harder workout. What you need for adding mass is protein. Whey protein is what i would recommend. If you take creatine, only do it for a few months, then give your body a break. The protein you can keep taking.

 Bean.....forgot to ask your age. If you're still in the "growing stage", i would recommend against taking creatine. I would just stick to whey protein. The whole secret to putting on mass is diet. You need to be able to have 6 meals a day and taking protein also. Diet, along with lifting is the secret.

Yep, this is very important. Creatine's supposed to be quite hard going on the old liver and kidneys. |

 im 18 and ill be 19 in June.  So i should get Whey protein to gain mass.  I read somewhere that Creatine is supposed to also supposed to give the illusion of bigger muscles but its only because it fills you up with water? |

 You are pathetic! Do some hardcore work-outs. Like running 4 miles while carrying a 135lb log. Wrestle 12 midgets at once. Lift weights more and longer. Here is a good one: run 100 meters, get on the bench-press and do 30 repitions, run 100 meters, get on the bench-press and do 30 repitions, run 100 meters, get on the bench-press and do 30 repitions, run 100 meters, get on the bench-press and do 30 repitions, run 100 meters, get on the bench-press and do 30 repitions, run 100 meters, get on the bench-press and do 30 repitions. Do that a few times. I had to do it six times, but each time adding more weight (starting from only like 20lbs => 60lbs [Yes, I am not that strong]). Watch Rocky, that should help you get some ideas.
 Also, I read somewhere that when you "dream" about lifting weights, your muscles contract just slightly or something and yeah, you gain ... something.

 jin-roh......hake:  thats a good way to pass out
 i agree with arkan, its all about diet and how you work out
 
 i personally dont recommend taking creatine because it also adds water to your muscles, and if you use it for a while then stop lifting later down the line it all turns to flabby shit fast which will take a while to get rid of
 
 i usually do pecs, lats, bis, tris, and some shoulders, etc.  for 45 mins or so and 5-7mins of straight crunches, then i bring food back to my dorms and eat then about 15-30 mins after lifting (this is the best time to eat, also if you eat before lifting wait 30 for the blood to leave your stomache or you wont accomplish anything)
 
 if youre looking for good sources of protein, as arkan said whey is good, protein shakes are good if you can make em right...if not go for turkey, chicken or tuna, even a little bit of carbs for energy-- i usually either go for a sub or a burrito.......

 I would suggest realising that muscles dont grow overnight and that months of hard work will be required. Eat right and do your work outs properly and dont expect "drastic" results. 
 Fuck i lifted for 3 straight months didnt see drastic results, just results.
