Just one mans position.
I've been weight training for about 20 years since I was 18, I'm not super ripped, but I'm not a blob, I'm about 6 feet, 255. Bench 275, arm curled up to 55 (until I tore a bicep a few week ago, etc etc. Except for a stupid experiment with Steroids when I was playing high school ball, I've gotten my results without the benefit of supplements except for vitamins. I eat 5 times a day and go through cycles where I eat an insane amount of proteins (lean chickens and fish especially)
The frustration point that causes a lot of people to just quit is that initially your results are huge, you can actually see pretty big changes in 6 week patterns, but every 6 weeks the results go down, so in the first 6 weeks you might increase your lift load by 25%, but then it shrinks after that.
I've read some horrible things about creatine, especially if you constantly use it, its like anything else where you need to give your body a break from it to purge it from your system.
Where I'm weak right now is on my aerobic type work outs and because of that my belly don't look as good as it did when I was 25.
the hard part for me right now, it that my injury has pretty much stopped me from any kind of lifting beyond a ludicrously light weight for another 4 weeks.

I thought you smoked and had a terrible diet and worked non-stop? No offense, but I have a memory of a post of yours saying so lol. Bench 275... panzy
6-Foot 255, you're a pretty big guy, I'm 6-foot 190 - 205 depending on what I ate/drank that day and what not. I'd although I'm mod-twenties and I guess you fill out all around with age, cripes that has me nervous, I wanted to stay in the same shape for the next 30-40 years.. maybe get a bit weaker, but my weight makes me happy
