I'm thinking of supplementing with Creatine and wanted to get the feedback of those on the forum who have opinions on its worth. If you have used it yourself, I have a couple of questions I wanted to ask before making my decision.
First, I know that creatine draws a lot of water into the muscles and that its pretty common to gain about 5lbs of water weight when first supplementing with it. Its a vain question, but does this water retention make someone at a lower bodyfat appear more "smooth," to use bbing lingo.
Second, what impact might this have on my strength-endurance. I understand that it may allow one to temporarily sustain a longer peak effort during sets, etc.. Any validity to this?
And lastly, what other physical changes--positive and negative--has anyone who's used it notice while on creatine?
Thanks in advance
