I've been thinking about taking creatine but is it legit? What do you guys think? Are there any short or long term side effects?

How effective is it? Cause i don't want to get TOO buff.

Ah my friend, creatine is basically what you have in your muscles. They create it. It's sort of a protein.

Creatine isn't dangerous. It's not a steroid, doesn't have side effects. Actually it does have 1 side effect. Depending on what sort of Creatine you buy, you can get "bloated" making you look soft. Which is water retention, but it's perfectly normal. All you'd have to do is cardio while stacking creatine.

As far as being too buff lol... it would take you a few years. Not because of you, but because if you only depended on protein and creatine... (which is considered natural) it would take you years at a time to gain serious lean mass.

It took me a lil over 1 year to gain 10lbs of lean muscle mass on just protein and creatine.

So you have nothing to worry about.

Go here and sign up... learn a lil something, ask any questions you'd like but make sure you let them know you're a newb and you need some help:
