Hello! I just want to know, what does Creatine do? I use protein powder for my workout but I've heard some people also use CREATINE. They say it gives you bigger biceps but some say they just fill your muscles with water and there muscles LOOK bigger, but they're really not.

creatine does give your muscles moar "false" definition. but it will also help build real muscle quicker that will remain even after you stop taking creatine. while your size will diminish slightly, strength will not.

the more expensive(?) ethyl ester creatine is supposed to not do that.

it will help you get more reps, and in that, a better work out. and larger muscles will result. it tends to make some people retain more water and that can make muscle look larger

From what I understand, creatine does two things.

1: It increases the water retention of your muscles. This will give you larger looking muscles, but they will also be softer and more bloaty, as opposed to hard, cut muscle. This is one reason people may get cramps; if you don't drink enough water when using, and it gets taken up by your muscles, the rest of your body suffers.

2: It increases the rate of ATP production and recovery in your muscles. This means you have more endurance to pump out more reps, which means you can workout harder to improve the manner in which you grow muscle. It doesn't directly contribute to muscle growth, but will instead improve your workouts.

Also, some people do not experience either of these effects, and creatine is useless for them. For those who it works for, it's apparently quite a supplement.

You'll store more water, and you'll be able to lift more. The water goes away when you stop taking creatine, the strength and size from doing more reps and adding more weight will stay.

I just started using Cell-Tech Hardcore two weeks ago. It's not huge, but I HAVE noticed an increase in my endurance.
