Creatine and Lean Body and more?

esco Posts: 84 Joined: 2001/01/08	2001/05/03, 10:01 PM Hey. I heard that Creatine, will make you gain 8-10 lbs. of mass a week? Is mass fat or what does this mean? Also, I drink Lean Body 3 times a day, it's a shake with 45 grams of protein and like 25 of carbs. Also I take Ripped Fuel when I work out, i only take 1 pill, half the serving size. My question is will adding Creatine to the mix, harm me in any way and i try to maintain a 2,000 calorie diet. Any help would be great.

However, be aware that the advertised '8-10 pounds' of gains from creatine are 90% water retention. Creatine will aid you however in recovery - therefore progress. The Lean Body is great. I have taken it as well. I would recommend that you only take 2 a day.. then fill up the rest of your cals with solid food. Good Luck! .o0 Arnold 0o.

I think everyones body reacts differant to differant supplements. My best progress is from pure old whey protein, of course my age might make a differance too. I'll retain water a lot faster than a young person. As Arnold said it will probably work well for you, give it a try and if it doesn't work don't take it.
