James unravels the misconception around creatine water retention and provides a detailed explanation of how creatine actually works in the body. He emphasizes that the potential water retention caused by creatine is primarily intracellular, which means it occurs inside the muscle cells and can be beneficial for muscle growth.
The video also delves into the traditional creatine loading protocol and offers an alternative approach for those concerned about creatine water weight. James goes on to explain how creatine in conjunction with carbohydrates can enhance the muscle's ability to store glycogen, leading to fuller muscles. He further elaborates on how this process can lead to anabolic growth and muscle protein synthesis, thus making creatine an effective supplement for building muscle.
This video is not just insightful for men but also provides information on creatine for women, breaking down the myth that creatine leads to unwanted bloating or water retention. James also shares his personal experience of using creatine up until the day of his bodybuilding competition, challenging the outdated belief held by many in the bodybuilding world.

Creatine, for me, will bring on a gout attack. So unfortunately, i can't use creatine as i already get more than my body can tolerate eating red meat more than twice a week...i eat a LOT more poultry than even most bodybuilders.
Look into buffered creatine!
35:Yrs of Body Building till this day , I No what I No !!! Good Channel Bro. And I seen ur vid on ur car accident and you Made a Excellent COMEBACK!!! 👊👍
Except spelling. You don’t KNOW spelling.
Thanks my friend!
been on creatine for 3 months now arms are more toned just need to work on getting ab’s now 😂
So do you suggest Oral Creatine Liquid Form or Powder? It may not matter in what form, but I am curious to know whats more effective. And what you recommend. Thanks.
So I'll be doing a new video this week on the different types of creatine, but to specifically address your question on liquid vs powder: creatine monohydrate is not stable over time in a liquid and degrades to creatinine. This is why you want to take your creatine in powder form.
@@JamesGrage Even the gummy creatine is useless I presume because of the stability issues. I have seen a lot of that out in the market.
thanks man
No problem!
I got a blood test when using creatine and one after not taking creatine for 3 months. By the first test, it showed my kidneys had to work verry hard to get the creatine out of the body. The second test showed my kidneys restored. So, is kidney damage (after using it for a long time) worth the use?
You are probably using too much.I really feel much better taking 3g of creatine every other day.Don't listen to 20g per day.Listen to your body we are all different.You may even need less.
Hey my friend. Make sure to check out the video that goes live tonight. That one specifically addresses this topic
