That's why if you're going to take it, take it consistently.
As Azure said, it's not for everybody; it just depends on how your own body reacts. You can take it, or you don't have to.
If anything, calling creatine 'crap' is ignorant. Using it and seeing results depends on the person physically and motivational-wise. |
I'm fine with that description.
The only reason I call it crap is because people take pseudo-health products like it just because one of the weight jockeys at their gym does. They dive in, without knowing the facts about it. Then they come to me (ie, friends or people at them gym do) and praise the product, saying I
must take it, it helps
so much, and when I ask them how it works or what's in it they shrug and say "who cares". That's what I have a problem with.
If you're ok with spending the money on sugar pills because they help your performance, then by all means... go ahead.
