Creatine

Is it a joke?

What are peoples personal experiences with it?

Gives you like an extra 2 extra reps, and you gain a shit ton of weight from water.

my buddy back in high school decided to try it once, landed him in the hospital for 3 weeks. he's never been the same since.

jesus fuck, OP, read up just a tiny bit next time

This. That water weight gets you looking TIGHT tho

Just curious as to peoples personal experiences with it dude, not after hard scientific facts

allows you to lift more. which in turn helps gains. so indirect, but strong effect on muscle growth / strength gains. also yes increases your water weight. so don't be surprised if you gain a couple of kgs after starting to use it, it is not fat (and well, not really muscle either). i use it regularly and think it is really helpful.

I gained 5 pounds of water in the first week.

i just take it i dont really know what it does

Closest thing to a legal steroid, I used it for a few weeks but it gave me stomach cramps at night, my brother used it for several years and is now going bald, there's 3 of us he's the middle child and is the only one going bald
There's also other anecdotal evidence on bodybuilding websites about people's hair thinning on creatine
