Im with G5_Tpdd on this one. Although I have used it on several occasions, I have mixed feelings on advising people to take it. What it does is oversaturate your muscles with creatine which causes them to retain more water. While on it you need to drink a shitload of water to get the best results. Since your muscles are mostly all water, they get a little bigger while on the creatine and a little stronger, which helps you lift heavier weight while taking it. Lifting the heavier weight helps tear the muscle, thus stimulates more muscle growth. After you stop taking the creatine you will lose the water bloat, some of the strength that you gained, but you will have built new lean muscle mass.
Thats the story with creatine. Have I used it? Yes. Did I notice results? Some. Will I use it again? Doubt it.
