I have taken creatine mono off and on in the past. I can definitely tell the difference because I tend to tire/fatigue quicker than most. I just got off mono and started ethyl ester pills. I'm not sure if there is a difference between pills and powder, but I can still tell I get that extra boost as the reps and sets get up in number.
I just started a nice deficit to start my "summer body" routine. The creatine helped me through my workout since I have less calories. Although I did crash 'n' burn during cardio after.
In summary, it works for me. I am lifting more in almost every routine.
Are there any bad side effects like I did read creatine makes you pee 90% more than normal.... :angry2:
