I used to take creatine and protein few years ago. But i've been fed up of spending money in complements. Instead I thought it would be best to buy better food. Since then I'm fully natural and even if I know protein and creatine could help me get better results, bigger muscles and more energy during the workout, I don't take any shortcut and keep training hard.
I'm the same. I was using creatine and although it is relatively cheap, the price has skyrocketed in recent months. To be honest I've made more gains by changing my approach to training. Maybe I could have got better results with creatine but I'm happy with my progress as it is.
@@ranierholmes47 Maybe. But who needs short cuts aside from the weakest ? To be more serious about this topic, I don't think it's natural to eat so much protein. And it's also not good for the livers on the long run.
I've stopped because the weight gain in water is actually not worth it, for my calisthenics and especially for my running. I'm just 5'8 and creatine gives me a tiny bit more of strength, I mean 2 % more but makes me 6 pounds heavier and my running is not enjoyable anymore. If you're just into body building, sure, go for it.
Thanks for explaining this so simply Andrew!! I've had creatine less than a handful of times and definitely noticed the difference! 💪🏼 Is creatine like caffeine, and can you become desensitised to its effects after prolonged use?
Ive heard many different opinions, many people say that for skills it shouldnt be used as the water weight is just to much, but i feel like if doing weighted cali it would be useful.
Anybody that doesn't believe creatine works must literally doubt science. I used to be a denier but since taking it, my strength had gone through the roof
Did anybody else notice that he's such a calisthenics athlete that he is holding the creatine with a false grip in the thumbnail?
🤣

It’s not a short cut tho😂

For me big no. I wanna maintain weight not increase by water..and i dont take protein powder either

I know i’m fairly late but no, you can’t become desensitised to creatine. That’d be kinda like getting desentisised to carbohydrates or protein.
Very good explanation. Easy to follow. Great stuff!
This may be the best explanation of what creatine does that I've ever heard
Glad you liked it, Malcolm! 👊🏿
The beginning had me howling with laughter 😂
😈

I've never been able to deal with the texture! 😅 Do you have a favourite flavour?
I usually prefer unflavoured but I have it with my cookies and cream protein shake - I have no idea it's even in there! 😁
also it boosts brain power & could potentially used to help against depression
and vegans sometimes have a lack of creatine

Hope you're making good use of them gains, Jaxon! 👊🏿
What a great breakdown! I've never really understood creatine, but this has made me want to actually take it now!
Definitely worth giving it a try if it is part of a consistent training regime! 💪🏿
The guy is seriously goated
It's pretty good you haven't taken it before... So you don't know how ripped off you are getting when you buy it now.
The intro really got me!🤣
😅
My man, content on point, as always!💪
Thanks!! 👊🏿
thanks
No problem
