I've played quite a bit of rugby with guys who go hard core with the creatine as part of their diet. I asked my dad (who's a GP) if creatine is a worthwhile supplement, and he told me that it is only noticeably effective when taken while you are close to your peak strength level (ie. > 95%). Even at that level, he told me it is effective at increasing your muscle mass by at most 2%. A high protein diet (which you seem to have) is much more effective at adding weight when combined with a properly designed training schedule. The reason I'm pointing this out is that I've seen way too many people waste $50 a month on a supplement that is unnecessary unless you are at the very top of your game and are desperate for that 2%. Too often it turns out to be a big waste of money.Wilamanjaro said:Ugh, 6'3 and 150lbs...
Eating lots of eggs tuna and bread, protein shakes, cereals and oatmeal, big dinners with lots of meat, and of course, plenty of beers.
Been working out 2-3 days a week for months now, taking creadex (some form of creatine, I ain't no scientist) for the last month.
I just can't gain weight, even the bad kind. It sounds like I'm a sure thing for getting the call April, so May would be leaving. Im going to be stepping everything up and really just stuffing my face with everything I can get my hands on. It's not as easy as it sounds, but there is some great advice in this post and I'll keep y'all posted.
