Thanks, just something I read up on though

Yeah, I'm not thirsty after I drink a lot of water too.

so inconsistent god damn, so conflicting who is right

our whole football team takes it, i guess it seems to work as i used to lift more than alot of people then once they started taking that shit, they all got stronger than me. or maybe its just becuase im weak, who knows [This message has been edited by 2unl2 (edited 12-07-2005).]

It works to fill up the muscles with extra water content, giving them the illusion of extra tone, but not doing much for the actual strength. So yeah, it works. [This message has been edited by MomentaryLapseOfReason (edited 12-07-2005).]

It does fill your muscles up with water and does help in the short term to make you look bigger. It does do more than that though. It will increase muscle endurance. You'll be able to push another rep or two before failure. So overall, you get that bit of edge and will get stronger faster. Won't be some magical powder, but it will give you the edge over not using it. Hard work will do far more than any supp though.

i use to take creatine fuel tabs before football games and drink alot of water and not be thirsty

So yeah, it works. Seconded, and God help you if you stop taking them. You'll be the man with deflated muscles. Meaning extra skin, and just overall unatractiveness. The reason people clain to be lifting more is that it's a placebo more or less.
