creatine gives your muscle more energy, for example instead of doing sets of 5, on creatine u could do sets of 8, its just like putting a bigger gas tank in your car, u will last longer. Drink plenty of water because u can dehydrate easily. overall its good for most ppl, some ppl dont get effected much by it

Cell-Tech is overpriced, very high in dextrose, overpriced, gave me anxiety attacks, and it's overpriced.
I use Met-Rx's Extreme Creatine blast. $40-50 for five pounds. A big part of that price is purity. 5g pre workout, 5g post workout, no dose on non-workout days. Worked good for me. For the most part, unless you have exhausted ALL other options for making gains I'd stick with a straight powder and not some expensive stack that has stimulants and other **** in it.

superpump 250 or universal lava seems to work good for me, and no stomach problems like in all of the online reviews.
Its more of an NO booster but it does have creatine in it

Helps ya poop :)
I had used some either twin-labs or muscle tech creatine monohydrate powder (dosage was 1-2 teaspoons mornings). I was doing 3-5 tablespoons, taking TONS of water, sometimes a dose in my water I was drinking at the gym, and sometimes a dose before bed.
Way too much. That crap gave me MAD headaches.....but I will say the 'overuse' helped me surpass my friends I worked out with quite a bit and I was a lil 'behind' them when we first started out.
DEFINATLY it will help you....just be careful with it. That's all. And I'd follow what Bill said.
I think he said overpriced. :rofl:

Yeah, if that happens you need to make sure you get your gallon of water each day, and if you still have gastro problems back off dosing bit by bit.

'roids?
I did creatine a while back. while I had good results when I was on the cycle, one I went off, I lost my volume. seemed that while it did allow you to do more reps, it added water weight. It was hard to get 'cut' while on creatine. I used it for sorts so looking pretty didn't concern me.

I am not really concerned with being cut, I like being bulky.

Well you need to follow the directions. I usually eat at 8, which is normally three eggs scrambled, and then I don't lift till 10:30 or 11. Never had a problem.

Way back when, when I used to lift, I was taking MuscleTech Creatine 6000-ES Link (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mt/crea.html) It worked pretty good for me. I added about 35 lbs to my benching max in about 3 weeks. But that was after being at a plateau for a little while. I did notice being able to do way more reps and have much more energy in the gym.

x2 the only thing of GNC brand I buy is the whey.
BTW the worst flavor of superpump is Blue rasberry :barf: just a heads up....

Him. In just about every case, you can get a significantly better quality product (both in terms of efficacy and quality) for significantly less money than GNC's house brand trash.
I tried a "free sample" of their superpump knockoff. I drank it, did a few sets of squats, threw up in a trash can, and resumed my workout. I followed their instructions to the letter.

Yea super pump works well for me so I think I will stay with that brand. Just gotta do some more research and wait for the check.
