Why do you want to take it?Originally Posted by Seatown2o6
Is there a certain age you should use creatine?
I'm Vietnamese and mostly eat viet food that my mom cooks on the daily. And she makes a lot of meat: chicken, pork, beef. I eat lunch at school, which is nothing. But when I get home, I eat a bowl of cereal and milk and for dinner I eat the food my mom makes.Originally Posted by sneakerfan93

basically consume more calories than your maintenance and lift heavy weights, just don't expect to gain those 10 lbs overnight

on another note, weighted calf raises are working for me, but I'm gonna try to incorporate jump roping after seeing that picture
For real man, just eat more. I was 5'6'' 138 out of HS. Now I'm 165. I would recommend eating the right things, but for me I just ate everything is sight, lots of meat. I lifted like crazy too. Use this calculator and other advice this guys is saying.
So are you saying that or assuming I'm FAT!!!? lol just playin. I have never eaten traditional viet food, but from what I know its not the best for gaining muscle mass. I feel like you need more protein. Use the calculator to see if youre getting enough. Also why in the eff are you asking about gaining wait and not lifting? This is a must if you dont want to get fat but want to gain weight. it sounds like your an ectomorph with a high metabolism so dont worry to much about your fat; just do some cardio and adjust your macros if you feel youre getting too fat. Although to be honest I felt like that too, but when i'm bulking (170 10-12% bf) I feel good cause my strength is so high, even though my fat % is high. What do you eat for breakfast? Try to eat 5x a day and things that fit your nutritional needs. Cereal and milk for after school snack is ok, but a chicken breast with sweet potato would be better, you see?Originally Posted by PleasurePhD

Guys, I'm not trying to be fat lol. Just want to gain weight and muscle. So I guess I should start lifting weights (but wouldn't it make you short though?)
And does jump-roping help you grow taller?

Basically. I don't like using supplements. I'd rather work my way up with whole food, but I won't knock someone that uses the right ones for their goals.
Not if you take it right, I started using it and it doesn't make me look inflated it just gives me extra strength and endurance in my workoutsthats it basically.Originally Posted by nealraj006

It does. If it isnt providing some water retention youre either taking a horrible supplement or not taking it properly.Originally Posted by Yankeephan87

How you gonna tell this dude if his body looked inflated or not?Honestly when I used creatine, I could feel a slight difference in endurance, as I was able to squeeze a few more reps than usual but I didn't really see a marked difference in my physique from the creatine. Some people just don't really respond to it at all

Where did I say anything about him looking inflated?
It's basic scientific principles.
