Hey all,

Would like to know if anyone has taken Creatine for their workouts or overall training.

How was it? Any improvements for bodybuilding?

Yes I am taking creative for a year plus. It only work if you are consistent. Else waste of money

Am using ON before but mahal nak mampos so I now use muscle tech
I can see difference with creatine. Muscle pump much more stronger and when I cardio less cramp and fatigue

Ya for me it took quite some time for it to actually build the loading phase for me, if not mistaken around 1 month plus.

But realise that it did help in that extra burst of energy for workouts and generally feel better.

I'm using ON now too, now have to check out muscle tech.

Its almost useless, because the improvement is like 10 reps become 11 reps. Which can be attributed to placebo also.

If take creatine or not take, all other factors equal, muscle gains in 1 year should be similar in my opinion.

I did some research and some did say that it helps with brain functions as well.

I just started taking creatine since 12/12.. hmm today is the third day.  ON micronised creatine (green label one)
I take 5g per day, mix with protein to drink. surprisingly the 5g scoop is quite a lot for me to consume, consider that the unflavoured creatine is damn not good tasting. After drinking around 30min will feel uncomfortable for a while but ok then after around 15min
Is this normal?
I workout for 1.5 years + 4-5 times per week
Asked few gym friends they don’t have this problem and don’t feel difficult to eat

I know what you mean, when I first started taking creatine I had a weird feeling as well.

But I’ve been taking it for 2 months plus, going to 3. And now I feel pretty good and for me the creatine really does give me a boost of energy.

I believe your body is just getting used to it.

May I know are you taking 5g every day? Need to stop for some days after continuous consuming? Heard some people said no need to stop if taking only 5g per day…

To be honest I just take around 2 teaspoons worth and ya I take it everyday.

For context I workout 5 times a week and I also take it on my rest days.
