works, but not worth the bloat.

They say it will give you a gain at about 10%.Doses for 15-30 gram a day for a month will blow you up.But your stengt will increase and you will feel powerfull.A buddy of my squat 370 kilo,and for somone at this results 10 % is a very good thing.And he cant use any AAS becuse he been tested all the time.Good luck

There are so many creatine products out there. Have to get through all the marketing BS to find one that works well. I've used the Trac creatine for the last 3 months and haven't had any problems. Okay result. Going to try the V12 turbo sometime in January.

The newer creatines don't cause bloat (Di-maltate, Ethyl Ester). Eating 4000 clean calories a day does cause bloat however.

You should get a real variety of answers to this because some people swear by it because they do so well on it and other swear at it because they don't respond at all.

I really like the new Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE) and the di creatine malate is good too.

I think creatine is one of the few supps out there that actually works. I use simple creatine monohydrate, or whatever they're calling it these days. There is a bloat factor, but I've found that it's manageable with water intake and diet.

One problem with it though is that many users expect AS-type gains from it which isn't going to happen. But as long as you take it properly, watch your diet, and keep realistic expectations, I think it's a good product.

I just get plain Creatine Monohydrate and mix that with gatorade along with the my post-workout meal. It doesn't blow me up, but it probably gives me 2 or 3 extra reps on every exercise, which is definitely a plus

I like to cycle it just like gear, works but so?

CEE rocks for me, Creatine Mono didn't do jack.

So, to answer your poll...yes and no, lol.
