Creatine ...is it really worth it?

[miskiw]

I have tried creatine 2 times in my life..

the first time I was in beginner stages and use that useless liquid creatine stuff... I gained plenty of muscle.. but I think it was more because of the beginner gains...

the second time I was in my first year of university.... along with my freshman 15 .... I got stronger... but it seemed like I was crazy bloated (water weight)... on it..(poweder form)...I didn't workout to to hard... I could have put more into it... but just wasn't the time...

after that second time I swore off creatine... but now I am having second thoughts again...

I am training really really hard now... and want to increase shear muscle mass this summer.... and use that additional muscle mass along with a proper diet and some cardio to decrease my body fat % .....

now my question is .... Is creatine really going to help me much? What ratio would you think creatine would help? 1:1.5?, 1:3? (no creatine:With creatine) ....

I guess it would be worth me trying creatine when I am extremely serious about my results to see how it treats me... but who know....

any suggestions/comments?

I liked creatine. I think it helps strength mostly. Give it a whirl man, I mean its dirt cheap.

I don't think creatine is worth it. I never tried it and I don't think I ever will. You can get plenty of gains from eating good and just whey.

Actually if you have low creatine levels you may see great stregth and stamin increases if you are conststant ant take enough
