I’ve read the “Sticky: Must Read about Creatine!” however I want to know if using creatine is good in my situation. Basically I lost 100 pounds and then started lifting weights. When I lost the weight, according to my doctor and others I lost the weight relatively fast, as in lost the first 90 pounds in 9 months fast. As of right now I have some slight to little lose skin I will post pics at the bottom of the post.
Right now at the moment I lift very faithfully and disciplined about it, as I was disciplined while losing weight. I noticed my strength improves very rapidly, but the looks are not so great. What I figured, based on my research via forums and speaking to other people. Using creatine would help in some way with my lose skin.
Personally, when I think of creatine in a nutshell, I think of it as an “inflator”, increases water weight, you get some size with it while using it, and when you STOP using it your size that you gained from the start of creatine deflates. If I remember correctly some dude years ago when I was in high school died while using it. I also remember it just being all around bad for you body.
I’ve always vowed to NEVER use creatine, however in the current physical situation I am in right now, I’m willing to break that vow. I’m already going to go with the cheapest Creatine Monohydrate at GNC that’s only going to cost me like 6-7 dollars, and Im going to mix it in my post protein shake. 1 tablespoon is 5g of creatine and based on the sticky I read here is all I need for the day.
Am I “doing it right”, and is it worth it based one what I deduced for my usage of creatine?
