Will Creatine make me bigger?
Creatine is used by hundreds of thousands of weight trainers across the globe, purely because it helps build their muscles. Creatine does increase muscle size and strength although strenuous workouts are necessary to see good results. The supplement helps you do more reps, and lift more weights when training, although if you do not put the hard work in it is pointless.
It has been said that after at least two months after taking creatine you will see positive results in your muscle size and the weights that you can lift.

What a load of tosh – “creatine will help you do more reps”…..Creatine helps you with short bouts of exercise – Hence the ATP-Phosphocreatine energy system. There are no scientific studies to show that Creatine actually does increase muscle strength or mass. The weight gain is purely water retention within the body
20060920 8:35 am
Yerp, but.. maybe there is no scientific studies, but hence the reason i am writing content for this website as i go along… since i started taking creatine i have upped by bench and bicep exercises. Maybe others may not see any drastic changes, but i certainly have!

DOES CEE HAVE A DIURETIC EFFECT. IT THAT I HAVE TO USE THE RESTROOM MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN USING CEE.
20070529 3:21 pm
Since taking creatine – 2 weeks ago – i have pushed myself to 65kg comfortably on the bench from a striggling 50kg. It’s also important to have a very well planned out program and not just to throw any weight around.
20070816 11:23 pm
just bought month and half supply of creatine only plan on taking it for that long i have not worked out in 2 years untill last week and last night and i will say it was rough.. i plan on posting my experience weekly
20070920 5:56 am
as i have read on other sites they said others may benefits from it and other may not, for what ever reason it has an explanation.. been using this stuff and it turn out to be true.. try it as long as you have no kidney problems.. good luck!

20090103 6:38 pm
i have started using creatine and within one week my bench press has gone from 70kg 10 to 90kg sets and dumbell fly from 12kg to 18kg to mention just a couple of exercises with have improved
20090111 2:13 am
Michael do you think that much of an increase is somewhat mental and over coming a mental block? I’ve done creatine on 6 wks off 5wks and so on. I ‘ve seen increase in my physic, endurance and recovery but with that much of a jump in a week I have to give some of that to a mental block that you overcame. Maybe something like what a sugar pill will do.
20090115 2:26 am
im 16. and ive been takin creatine for a month and you can tell and see a hugee improvement, but a negitive side effect is i broke out reall bad.

Hi can you tell me please what is better creatine explode capsules or creatine powder?
20090501 12:36 am
i took creatine for one day and it pumped me up durin the whole workout. i used to do the most of 30 reps on each hand with a 20 lbs dumblell….on the other hand, after i took the creatine i did the most of 50 reps with 20 lbs dumbbell. i think that creatine does work and it helps a lot and help build n size and mass. But once u stop workin out u will loose some of the weight and the mass. if u can keep up with the creatine and workout like almost everyday..u wont loose it(trust me)…therefore, creatine can make a huge difference in ur body…33……..(i love carol soo much)

Im 25 and just bought my first bottle of creatine (weider) capsules the other day. I did my first workout today after work. Hopin to see good results in the near future. i will keep u updated…
20090722 11:34 pm
while on creatine do u eat a high protein diet
20090730 6:25 pm
ive taken it for about a week and ive seen slight increase in muscle mas, and some toning, but also, my last max was 150lb. just recently i put up 160 without working out for weeks before.
20090824 8:19 am
I’ve been taking creatine monohydrate for about a week now. I can actually feel that im able to do some heavier than usual. 10g a day.
20090828 10:53 pm
im 21 years old i took creatine monohydrate for 3 months with whey protien, i would usually mix it in something with suger and carbs about 20 minuts before a workout and post i would take it with whey protien. I was 135 lbs taking about 10 grams of creatine a day and about 120 grams of protien daily as well, half through foods and the rest from whey protien, i am now 150lbs and i have to say i didnt see a huge change from taking creatine i think its mostly from the whey protien but i did notice that the times i would take it pre workout i would have more energy to do more reps.
20090913 2:25 pm
yo does creatine make you get water retention
20090914 6:06 pm
hey guys i got a ?..i just bought a bottle of creatine i weight 252 and i would like to know if im going to gain more im trying to lose and just get ripped. any advice from any1 i would really appreciate it.
20090918 12:48 am
Wow, half you guys are idiots. To the serious questions, yes you want a high protein diet as well if you are trying to gain mass. To the overweight guy, yes creatine will still help you, only instead of trying to eat as many calories as possible like someone trying to gain mass would, you will want to eat less calories. Also, it has been proven that taking creatine with grape juice or other type of juice will greatly increase the effects. To the person who said creatine broke him out, creatine is not a hormone and will not break you out. You said you were sixteen, I would imagine your problem is related to puberty, not creatine. To the girl, creatine will not make you fat. It simply lets your muscles release an extra boost of energy during exercise. As long as you eat right, it will help you. To the guy who got a bigger penis than expected, you should call the dildo store back and tell them that they sent you a size bigger than you are used to. I am sure they will let you exchange it if you still have the receipt. Yes, Creatine does work, but you have to work hard for it. The Texas prison system used to sell creatine on their commisary, but the inmates were getting so big that they took it off.
20090921 4:53 pm
Why take something that’s going to make you big for a short period of time. Reality check, r u going to use this crap the rest of your life???? Stick to a good diet, regular workouts, and stay way from all the crap you see advertise on the internet and in the magazines… Face the facts, genetics play’s the biggest role in how you look and you can’t change that… work with what you have, stay true to yourself and do it for the health benfit… People don’t really care if you have 15 inch or 19 inch biceps….
20090930 4:41 am
what effect does redbull mixed with creatine have?
20091001 4:06 am
does it really give you a bigger penis. im already to big. i might have to quit
20091014 8:50 pm
i’ve lifted all my life and i did not take anything but food.
i have 17 1/2 inch arms.
all you do is work out hard and all the tome..
but don’t forget to rest very important.
20091020 9:02 pm
I use creatine about 45 mins to 1 hour before a workout and i actually have increased weight in all my work outs and more reps in my normal work out.
20091123 2:55 am
I’m 57 yrs. old and started Creatine caps from GNC two weeks ago. I seem to be able to do more reps and not as sore afterward. I only started lifting about two months ago after a long layoff due to 2 back surgeries. I’ll give an update around Christmas for some of the older crowd.
20091125 9:12 pm
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalrighty thennnnnnnnn!
20091203 2:36 am
BEWARE creatine made me gain over 20lbs back in 1996. I took it for a year and all i got was thick bloated looking muscle and any benefits were very short lived.
If you are looking for cut ripped muscle STAY AWAY from Creatine throw it away.
This summer I tried a new protein supplement and did NOT notice it had Creatine and almost instant 10 ibs of very unattractive bloated weight gain and my ripped appearance is only just now coming back.
THICK UGLY NON-ripped muscle= CREATINE
20091210 4:52 am
My friend told me that Creatine basically fills up your arms or body with water o.O
20100108 7:23 pm
started taking creatin bout 3 months ago.. feeling the benefits but had 2 much crap in ma system over xmas n new year so tryn 2get that burned off.. takin 84g of it every day and goin onto protein 2 very soon. g
20100127 12:06 am
i need to gain muscle and reading these comments i was debating wether or not i should buy creatine, if i decided to take it, how long will it be before i see any results???????????????????
20100128 7:05 pm
creatine is amazing. i love it. makes me drive harder.
20100130 5:47 pm
you dont really have to take any of these products to gain muscle, you just have to be dedicated in the gym. work out 4 times a week and you should be fine and you will see results in no time. i have friends and people that i know that were incarcerated for 1 or 2 yrs and when they got they were big and when i say big they were big. thats because they had nothing to do but lift weights, these days they dont even have weights in jail all they have is body weight work out like push ups and dips and a lot of pull ups. these friends of mine were like animals ( beast ) and they were not using any products, all normal.. all they ate was 3 meals a day and thats it.. the only thing is, is that their Wings ( lats ) were big because they didnt have weights and they were more into pull ups.. still, this is something to think about, you dont need to spend all that money to gain muscle, its not that i dont believe these products work but i think its better to just work out with out them.. trust me, all my friends now after they got out they still stick with in the gym and they are big like monters. its good that they love working out becuz before all they thought about was drugs. now their life is straight and all they do is work out. well its just my thought.. good luck.
20100201 11:40 am
all of u are idiots?all of you are arguing whether creatine works or not of course if you take some creatine you think it will work be cause you spend money.if you are lazy and not doing your exercise properly and have no dedication on it of course it has no effect or no improvement to your body…stupid !!!!
20100204 1:59 am
it works as long as you continue doing your workout and if you dont it will not. it is not a magic pill or powder that makes you huge by just taking it. you have to workout eat right and the rest will come. if you dont want to be bloated then do cardio along with your worjout which you should be doing anyway and sweat alot and you will not be as bloated. also if you have kidney problems DO NOT take creatine you will get kidney stones it happened to my personal trainer and a bunch of his buddys so if you do not want to pee little rocks then dont take creatine if you have kidney problems.
20100220 2:21 am
XD If Creatine Does make Your Dick Bigger Im a Lucky Guy Im Already Big I Was Lifting Today And I noticed I Had More Energy Cant Wait to Get Bigger How Long Does It Take?
20100307 11:39 am

i have been takeing creatin and drinking protien shakes everyday for about four weeks now the only workingout i have been doing is arm workout and pushups but i also do drywall for a living i have gotten thicker everywhere iam 31 years old 5 foot 7 215lbs 34 inch waste i dont mind water retension or bloated muscle it makes me look swole i have gained 1inch on my biceps and my chest and legs are bigger and my back has gotten widder my muscles fill full creatine and protine have been working well for me
20100324 12:30 am
Most of you people are full of shit….creatine is like any LEGAL supplement….it might work over time with training hard and dieting well! anyone who is 14yrs old, just started working out or do not eat or train properly, so yourself a favour and research first, it will save you money….or Just come to a supplement shop and spend a heap of stuff you know nothing about and keep making me rich
20100328 3:41 pm
Wow, give it a rest people! Creatine will fill your muscles with water! but news FUCKING FLASH! your muscles are 70% water in the first place u dumb fucks! shit read a book!
proper diet! (and i mean proper diet not shitty fattys foods and big macs) will get you results!
search up on google, traditional bodybuilding diets! look and study the foods and adapt your own diet from that!
workout like u never have before!
eachworkout on any particular muscle should consist of 3-4 workouts and total workout should last no longer than 1 hour!
i.e. if a workout on day was: back/biceps: wide grip pullup- 3-4 sets
seated row- 3-4 sets
bent over row 3-4 sets
preacher curls 3 sets
individual bicep curls 4
concentration curls 3
perfect workout, exceeding no more than 3/4 excercises per muscle per workout!
overworking muscles actually burns away at them eventually! now we dont want that do we?
and REST, at least a day 9 hours sleep for a mass budiling cycle! come on guys! do a bit of research!
workout= 20% diet= 60% rest=20%
pretty simple stuff guys!
as for diet?
a simple quick formitted way to work this out is like so:
1gram per pound of weight- Protein
4 grams per pound of weight- Carbs
3 grams per pound of weight- fat
for example someone weight in at: 150lbs diet would consist of
150 grams of protein a day
600 grams of carbs a day
450 grams of fat a day
split each of these into 5 meals a day and each meal consist of
30 grams of protein
120 grams of carbs
90 grams of fat!
with each meal consume anywhere between 5-6 grams of creatine monohydrate
and come back in a month and tell me u arent weighing in at 170lbs ripped to fuck with a body fat of 9%
any doubts or questions feel free to add me on msn:
general_dorrell@hotmail.com
more than happy to help!
20100419 4:25 pm
Who every says Creatine does not work is a idiot. Creatine is by far the most studied supplement when it comes to bodybuilding. If you work out hard and take creatine after your work out you will see results of course you do need to keep your protein intake hgih. I would recommend just getting a regular creatine monohydrate with out any fillers is in it, it is the best bang for your buck.
20100502 4:48 pm
I AM 14 & IM ADDICTED TO CREATINE/..I STARTED TKING IT AT 12 I AM NOW BULKY &PURE MUSCLE BUT MY BELLY IS A BIT CHUBBY..DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF CREATINE CAN REALLY DAMAGE KIDNEYS &LIVER B’CUZ I READ THAT IT CAN &IT HAS SCARED ME…BCUZ IT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME LONG TERM AFFECTS OF STEROIDS..MAYBE THIS IS ANOTHER GOVERNMENT COVER UP..BECAUSE THEY SELL IT WITH NO LONG TERM WARNINGS ON.MAKING IT MORE OR LESS A LEGAL STEROID..SIMILAR TO THE WAY THEY SELL LEGAL HIGH (DEADLY DRUG) METHADRONE BUT PUT PLANT FOOD ON THE CONTAINER TO COVER UP FOR THE REAL REASON IT IS ON SALE
20100528 12:18 am
Honestly….take creatine for a few months then stop! HYAHAHA are u retarded? no wonder u see no results…if you do not use it consecutively you will see no results, i personally watched my brother gain 4 inches in 2 months on his biceps alone! dont listen to these retards who say it doesnt work! they just cant afford it! personally i use Cell-Tech Hardcore and it works magnificently and to answer your question creatine addict, Yes it damages ur liver and kidneys….these are two organs that filter everything you drink and eat SO DO THE MATH! Either way all in all creatine will hepl you gain muscle if you stick to it, if you listen to these idiots then your fucked!
20100528 12:19 am
AND P.S YOU CANT GET ADDICTED TO CREATINE HAHAHAHA
20100528 12:22 am
SORRY 1 MORE THING! creatine doesnt make ur dick bigger! hahaha shame on you losers! if anything it will help cripple you. hahahhahahahhahahaha

20100530 11:23 am
Good advice. For the most part. Except for the idiot above me ^^^
Thanks all for the tips.
20100531 3:56 am
Would month on month off cycles help out with the water retention? A friend of mine said that if I worked out for a month taking creatine regulary then worked out a month with out it, the muscle would actually stick rather then “deflate” after time.
20100531 8:18 pm
What creatine is is an amino acid that gets absorbed through your stomach into your muscles using water retaining to make you look biger/muscler. you cant take this and not work out then theres no point of using this. Before a workout take this 30 min before workout. Take it once a day not 2 or 3 times thats just company ripping you off. The next day or two you should feel stronger.l It also increases strenth and speed and sences
20100607 8:04 pm
How long after stopping creatine should the bloating clear up?
20100610 8:02 am
how long does it take to see results with CEE, and do i need to do the loading phase
20100614 6:48 pm
I heared that the gel form of creatine was eligal at least it is in the mlb. Duz anyone no why?
20100617 9:23 pm
u gotta remember to drink alot of water when taking creatine, it not only helps keeping the system clear, but it also helps with some people who bloat up when taking creatine. And don’t drink acidic juices while taking creatine.
20100623 12:34 pm
creatine has been proven many times (search it) to increase muscle mass, by allowing the user to work out harder and longer. it has the best results if used in combo with a high protein diet, loading helps for faster results, and cycling keeps your body from getting used to it. always drink a lot of water because the excess amounts of water your muscles absorb when you use creatine can cause you to become dehydrated. there are no known long term side effects, short term are gastrointestinal problems such as gas,diarahea,etc, frequent urination is common.
20100625 2:45 pm
awrite boys well am 17 av only been going to the gym for 1 month and the best thing to do is 5 sets if benching start on a weight that you can do comfortably such as 40 kg. do 15 reps take your rest another 10 reps afterwards then put the weight up 5 kg do 8 reps twice then put another 5 kg on by that time you are at 50kg do 5 reps then thats your chest done move on to your second muscle of the day and repeat that exercise again. i would be interested if some one could comment on what i have just said so if read this leave your comment please .. thanks
20100629 11:17 pm
no one in this day age is going to be pissing up rocks, unless they have fright of drinking water and overdosing on protein, many people develope kidney problems because of a over abundance of protein in their systems, creatine demands high water consumption ALWAYS! that means atleast a gallon of water a day would be a good start.
20100705 5:01 pm
How long will it take to notice the muscle gains from creatine?and after u get off of creatine but continue to workout will u still be able to lift as much as on creatine or u wont?
20100705 7:56 pm
if u continue working out after u get of creatine will u lose all the mass/weight u gained or will it stay if u still workout daily?
20100707 5:22 pm
If you start taking creatine once taking it the next few weeks you start to feel more alive in the gym , you have alot more stamina , you can lift heavier weights eg me i could only bench 65 kg 10 reps max but when i was on creatine i was doing 85kg easy, also when i started i was 10 stone 5 pounds then within 3 – 5 weeks i shot up to 11 stone 4 pounds , then when i finally came off creatine i started to see decreases in strength then every so often i dropped a pound or two .
ps think hard before taking creatine you might not think it isnt addictive but when you feel your achievements in the gym while taking it , its out of this world but when you stop you get a depressed feeling and you get short bursts of anger
20100715 1:34 am
i take creatine. and bench 365pds, without it..only 335. it simply makes you stronger. with more endurance. it will not make you cut,swole,super strong. It helps repair muscles after intense work outs so you can hit it up even harder at your next work out.
20100720 9:32 pm
I have just got back in the gym and I am taking creatine two times a day with whey protein as a supplement to a high protein diet. Not in the best shape with a bit of pudge on the stomach. I hope the combo will work. Can anyone tell me if cutting out carbs to try and loose the gut will have a serious effect on muscle gain results eventhough I’m still taking whey protein? Thanks
20100811 8:10 pm
i am about 13stone now and last christmas i was about 14 and half stone i want to still loose weight but i really want to look bigger in my chest and my arm and my shoulders etc..but not around my stomach area lol…can someone help me on what i should do .cheers
20100814 3:12 pm
creatine has had no effect on me since i started using it over 2 months ago, i have found hard work and persistence has increased the weight i lift not the creatine as it reckons
