Eric Roberts explains creatine's actual effect: it gives you a few extra reps per set, which builds muscle over time. Take 5g daily after workouts with carbs. Expect water retention in muscles, and it's safe for most people unless you have kidney issues.
Big guy, big, big guy, big guy. SpongeBob, big guy, pants okay. SpongeBob, big guy, pants okay. Actually, don't take creatine until you know exactly what it does, how to use it, and the potential side effects. Creatine does one thing: it helps your muscles produce energy faster during your workouts. That means one or two more reps per set, or you lift five to ten pounds more, which doesn't sound like. much, but over weeks and months, that's what builds the extra muscle. Take 5 grams per day, every day, and the best time to take it is after a workout with carbs or on your rest day with carbs. You might store some extra water weight, and that's because creatine pulls water into your muscle cells. Other than that, creatine is the most researched supplement in history, and as long as you don't have pre-existing kidney issues, it is 100% safe to take. So now you can take the creatine, and you can take the powder, the pills, or the gummies. And this is the brand I work with if you want to try them out. You don't need to get this brand though.
