Should I be taking Creatine?

echohype Posts: 57 Joined: 2003/08/27	2003/08/28, 07:45 AM I"m on the 12 week muscle/bulk gain program. Says to take Glutamine, BCAA's, and Creatine. What should I take? Those 3 things, other things? Also, are any of those steroids. Sorry if I sound out of it there, just never took them. Please list which specific supplements I should get. thanks

All those supplements are more for experienced weightlifters who hit blocks and stuff. You can take them to increase your gains, but you will get quite a bit of mass just by cleaning up your diet and lifting. Also none of these are steroids, and they are all safe to take for most people. If you want more information on these supplements, do a search, and you will find more than enough information on them. also, make sure you drink plenty of water!!!! -------------- Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

At your age, your body makes plenty of hormones, etc... for building muscle, so you won't need the creatine. -------------- Strength does not come from physical capacity.
