Creatine/Protein Powders

[Gunner S]

I have been working out everyday, and for some reason, for the past 3 weeks i havent noticed any increase in strength, muscle tone or size. One of the football players on my team told me to buy some protein powder and Creatine.

if you describe yourself as "chubby" i would advise against using creatine or any sort of muscle gaining powder. you should continue to work out, get yourself on a proper diet and take a multi-vitmain and fish oils every day until you have dropped some weight. once you have trimmed some fat then you can go on to using creatine and other types of muscle building stuff.

regardless, im not looking for weight loss, creatine is supposed to hydrate the muscles, and is not supposed to provide energy for fat

the creatine also works as a "Lunch" i dont not eat lunch, Just Breakfast and Supper

Son Of a Bitch, I posted this in the Wrong Forum,...... I always get confused becuase i see "Life Weighing you down" and i think of Weights


can a Mod move this or something to the health and fitness thing ?

You describe yourself as chubby, only eat twice a day and are looking for increases in strength, muscle tone and size? You're going about this all wrong. Try eating smaller meals more often. This will increase your metabolism and help with your muscle tone. If you're chubby,the size is probably there, just not where you want it. Using Creatine as a meal is a pretty bad idea, but it's your body not mine, I can only make suggestions.

Shit I didn't even see the forum this is in. whatever.

by muscle tone, i meant calf and Thighs. Those are the Only Two Areas I seem To Not get Fat. The Calfs are quite toned right now, and the thighs are getting there.

By Strength, i simply meant more lifting weight.

However it does say right on the Bottle "Use Cell-Tech Hardcore as a Part of your Diet, Replacing One Meal"


and I'll Explain to you my diet

1. Breakfast Cereal. Preferably Reeses Puffs
2. Creatine Solution
3. Atleast 1 vegetables, 1 Meat, and one bread serving. 2 depending on if im still hungry or not.

But I do Like more Diet Information, although i probably wont use it. The Only Food Diet Information ive ever used was eat salads. They're very Yummy.
