Anyone else thought for the longest time that creatine is a meme?

I felt stupid when I started taking it and realized it actually works and because it's dirt cheap there's no reason not to take it

Does it add fat?

Does it add water fat?

Does it make you look heavier?

Then you are part of the lucky ones. I use it too and i didn't notice any difference what so ever.

I'd just feel stupid taking it when I don't even bench 1plate for reps. Tryhard, or whatever. Plus, I don't think I stay hydrated enough as it is.

no

no

no

it made me like at least 6lbs heavier, which is a lot for a manlet like me
most noticeably bigger in the upper body
"max low rep" strength didn't go up that much, if it all, but I definitely notice I can do more sets and reps

>I use it too and i didn't notice any difference what so ever.
were you already lifting near you limit? the difference with taking creatine is usually 1-2 reps in a set of 5. if you take it without knowing exactly how many reps you can do with a particular weight then you won't be able to tell. in my opinion it doesn't make much sense to take creatine until you've followed a structured training program for a while and getting near a plateau. if you're still getting noob gains then you're improving rapidly without being near your limit anyway, so what's the point?

what does creatine do is the benefit purely aesthetic and no strength is gained?

it makes you bald faster
no thanks
