hey /fit/ ive recently started taking creatine, pic related, and working out. In the last week ive gained 6lbs, what im wondering is will this weight gain (more muscle gain) keep going at this rate or will it slow down. Also is it muscle or just mostly me retaining more water b/c of the creatine.

probably water weight.

drink more water. water retention is lessened the more you drink, as weird as that is. watch your sodium intake as well.

creatine will boost your strength and those gains will be permanent. anything from water retention will be lost when you go off it.

I've been taking muscletech's celltech hardcore pro series for about 5 months now and I've gained almost 30 lbs. You shouldn't slow down gaining weight however I would suggest taking weigh protein every day a few times and then you will really start to blow up

Does /fit/ even realise why the fuck people take creatine? Taking creatine doesn't automatically make you grow muscle. It merely draws water to your muscle fibers so they fatigue a lot less easily, and you can lift more.

It's the lifting more that builds muscle.

Jesus Christ, why doesn't anyone seem to know this?

Weigh protein is just a type of protein, You could go to costco and buy like a 6 pound bag of musclemilk 100% weigh for $35, thats what I do its the best value instead of buying 12 servings for $60 at GNC you get 90 servings for $35
