Health Do you guys take creatine?

But why? What's the point? That's what I never got. I can master speed-counting so O can count super efficiently but why would I? Same for running.

Different reasons for different people.

For me personally, I have a few different reasons. I’m very physically active, and having the strength and endurance to go about the day without getting exhausted is important to me.

I also like being prepared for situations that require me to defend myself. I had to defend myself during my childhood, and there have been times in my adult life that this has come up as well.

The last reason is just because I like having what I refer to as “freedom of movement”. If I want to do a handspring in the living room or jump out of bed, I can (and I do). It makes life more fun for me.

I am planning to join a gym nearby and wanted to ask if anyone here consumes creatine?

Is it important to drink 3-4 lts of water in daily intake after taking it ?

Also, what changes have you noticed after taking it regularly?

Even if it's to kickstart the brain in the morning I suggest creatine

You'll put on your water weight and lose it in minutes if you're not eating right, but if you are eating right you'll get the mass in

I'm actually having great results with my conditions in my back and shoulders with the amount of pressure I've been able to hold in place

Good stuff, I stick to the 5g/day in the mornings, with my coffee

Don't pour boiling water on creatine, turns into some easily wasted and flushed form of creatine that the body loves but doesn't have much effect, warm coffee or tea and it'll dissolve like brown on a warm spoon

Dopamine is for sissies.
I used to be in great shape. Ran 60km/week did all sort of stupid stuff all day long for years.
Never liked it. And the relief I get from knowing I don't need to do it again...

You sound like an addict.

Addict to what? Stress?

Not sure the harm in doing something that resolves that.

Each to their own.
