about Creatine

Creatine is produced naturally in the body. As a boxer I don't think you'll need any, it'll make you about 3-5lbs heavier due to water retension and it's main purpose is for weight lifting.

 

Take up boxing and forget this body building rubbish, hard work in the gym with no drugs or bull**** and you will smash these muscle heads in 2 seconds flat.

 

You don't need Creatine and all those bogus supplements. Train hard, eat nutritiously and your body will be better off.

 

Well its not stroids but its safe to use though if your looking looking to bulk up and add some strength you should use it but give it some time, when i was using it i was squated 210 and every week i squated 10 more pounds.

You found unsubstantiated side effects. Last time I checked, there were no proven side effects to taking creatine. What it does, basically, is when your muscles rip, it fills in those rips with water. It basically makes water flow to your muscles faster than normal. It slows your muscles down somewhat too, because they are partially water now, instead of dry muscle fibre. In boxing, you want your muscles to be as light as possible, so they move as fast as possible.

Sounds like you have time to build your muscles, so just do it without the creatine by lifting weights properly without any supplements. Your body will benefit more from the slower build up.

 

creatine is an amino acid...produced naturally by the body. It is also found in red meats such as steak etc. It is non-toxic and is safe to use in the long term, as scientific studies show there is little long term side effects and if there is..discontinue use. Gains of 10lbs of lean muscle mass in 6 weeks of strength training have been reported in excess of water-retention. If you want to know more i suggest you look at any sports nutrition website.

 

Creatine has NOT been shown to be safe in the long run. According to the Mayo Clinic, it is unknown what long term effect Creatine has on the body, and it is also unknown what the correct "dosage" is. There have been some studies, but nothing conclusive.

Just because Creatine naturally occurs in the body does not make it safe. Testosterone and Human Growth Hormone are also produced in the body but that doesn't make them safe either.

Creatine is a shortcut and you will pay for it at some point in your life. Save your money, buy a few cans of tuna, and bang out an extra hundred pushups a day instead.

 

Just use Glutamine pal

 

This is the reason I don't take the stuff. I'm sure steroids were said to be 100% safe at one point to.

 

Creatine is good but protien should be the main suppment you should be taking if your gonna be pumping iron.

 

If taken properly steroids can do MUCH more good than bad. No, I'm not being sarcastic.
