You sound like a relative new comer that gets all his information from magazines. But you did get it right on the ATP, that should have been lactic acid, not ATP. I usually don't even engage in these threads because there is always some genius that knows everything but really don't know jack ****. Just curious, how much competitions have you done, and won? How many classes have you taken on kinesiology, sport medicine, sports nutrition ect? How many people have you trained? Are you a certified personal trainer? You do realize those magazine usually only give you exerpts? How long have you been working out seriously? Just curious. But anyway, I'm done, these threads always go the same way...a few people that actually know what they are talking about will post info, and a bunch of others that don't will argue the point. Usually the people that don't know what they are talking about are more than the ones that do.
As for the individual that doesn't know jack **** on each thread, I couldn't agree more: it historically tends to be you.
To the OP: I would recommend setting a goal. Common goals are shredding (toning, increased muscle definition) or building/bulking (usually lifters who are attempting to build strength/muscle/gain). If you set a goal, you can focus your diet and routine around that goal. Creatine may not be needed if your goal is the average joe goal of "shredding". Yes, I agree it works, I've seen it work. I have also tried it, and found that it is not as effective for my body. <shrug> If your just looking to gain some muscle, and cut down your body fat %, I'd recommend a good protein source. My personal favorite is Optimum Nutrition's products, as they are affordable and effective. If you are looking to bodybuild/bulk/etc, check out bodybuilding.com and look through the various articles there.

Like I said, you got quite a bit of it correct. Creatinine does work for some people. But it doesn't matter how long you've personally trained, or how well it worked for you, the one thing that doesn't lie is statistics. Certainly, the interpretation of statistics can be twisted (just look at politicians). All I'm saying is that the majorities of studies have too small a sample size and not enough statistical power to draw the conclusions that you seem to hold on to as gospel.

Creatine is a waste of time and money in my opinion. Your body makes enough naturally, unless your body builder size like Hustler... I'm a big fan of Cytosport Muscle Milk. It's costly, something like $50 for a tub at GNC. One of the few supplements I've taken that I sometimes drink just because it tastes so good. The chocolate malt flavor is ******* AWESOME! Most everyone I have talked to who has used it reported good things, and I also noticed some gains, though I don't work out nearly enough like I used to. Even with a lighter than ideal workout schedule, I still have seen something like 15-20lbs of what I assume is muscle weight in ~1 year. I don't have anymore of a gut than I used to, so I'll stick with its muscle. I don't know how much of my gains I can put towards supplements (since I have taken several kinds over the years), but when I left high school ~6 years ago I was around 135 at 6', and now I'm hovering around 190 at 6'. 10lbs of which is probably a gut I have acquired thanks to beer and good food.

Your right, I don't know you, and for that I am fortunate. I do know BRGRacer, and I assure you he's more informed then you are on matters of sports nutrition.
I suppose I just assumed that you seem to **** on threads regularly. Maybe I am misinformed, but the last thread thread I read of yours was about the lack of importance of a dyno. Similar to this thread you leverage your years of "experience" to banter and make unfounded remarks.

Oh, in other words, you're a ******* idiot. In order for you to know he knows more than me about the subject, you would need to know my level of knowledge and experience with the subject. You don't, so you are making assumption based on the fact you don't like my "internet persona" Which makes you a ******* idiot.

On another note, you admit you are misinformed, which rely translates that you don't know **** about this topic. Then you inject **** about a thread that has nothing to do with this topic...and you accuse me of shitting on a thread? You have offered nothing to this thread but idiotic bullshit. You are a

Some of the responses need to be back with credentials or results. Otherwise, it's just another internet opinion.
