I still don't understand why regular weight lifters (ie they don't compete) need to take the stuff? Could someone explain how that would help you gain muscle mass quicker? I don't see how it would affect the compensation curve. Anyone know anything more about it?

As I understand it....creatine, supplies energy to the muscles, which WILL give you that extra boost.
Your body can produce it naturally from foods such as fresh meat and fish, but taking Creatine Supplements, which HAVE been proven to be safe will provide your muscles with the 'extra' energy needed to achieve your goals.
This is effective for 'any' sort of activity....sprinting, weight lifting, etc, etc.
But is funny how you accuse everyone else of being ignorant of the subject, proceed to call Creatine 'crap', and then turn around and ask questions about it.
