Work Out, Get Fit Thread

I had to stop taking creatine cause of the shizzles it was giving me daily🥹

Lmao

I don’t take it daily or do any of that creatine loading shit

I take two scoops 30-45 mins prior to my workout, that’s it

The difference in my workouts is huge
 
Makes sense but I haven’t even noticed a difference yet appearance wise

I’m talking about my capacity to train at high weight AND high reps, it is a night and day difference as far as my actual workouts

I have to think that will lead to some legit muscle growth as opposed to only water weight

Well you gotta remember creatines function, water and oxygen enriched blood to engorge the muscles.
Maybe creatine HC1 might give a tighter pump as opposed to monohydrate.

Yeah you're wasting it.

Creatine only works if its consistently in the blood stream. So you are going to have to take a weekend to preload then a 3-9 week cycle to keep some growth.

Consistency is key when fucking with creatine.
I suspect a placebo effect may be at play or you may have switched your intensity which has given you the pump you think the Creatine is.
 
@Black_Samson can you recommend a brand of creatine for me to try?

Most of the research I've come across suggests loading isn't necessary but just steady doses a day

Creatine HC1 it's at GNC... Small container about 35 bucks. White printed label that looks basic as fuck.

Stay consistent with the dosage and yeah you'll be aight. No more than an 8 week cycle.

Preloading is mainly for the impatient types...
 
I'm confused about supplements.

if you're trying to burn fat, what's the best vitamins/supplements for that?

Tbh fam, I don't think any of that shit works.

You're gonna have to just start eating in a deficit.

You have to start eating more satiating foods. One of my go to is a cup of oatmeal, maybe two handfuls of walnuts, some Splenda brown sugar and cinnamon. You're going to be fuller a lot longer and it's got a ton of fiber which means plenty of no..2's. I find I only eat maybe 2x a day most days cause the oatmeal generally lasts me a little past lunch.

I do workout 4x a week plus I referee so I'm getting my fair share of cardio but I'm under 200lbs for the first time since I was in college.

I was 225 at some point last year before summer. Went on keto and lost like 20+lbs. I didn't start really working out consistently until the last couple months of 21

Does it cause bloat?

half a cup of protein oatmeal cooked in almond milk with a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, blueberries and a 12 almonds with a non-fat yougurt
 
Hey fellas can any of y’all give me any advice on cardio? I understand it as a whole but I don’t understand it on the way I’m supposed to do it.

I know that it varies from person to person and from what I’ve been researching, I’m getting confused because of the frequency and maintenance for example how many days a week, how long and how many calories you’re trying to burn.
