powerlifting suppliments

any of you powerlifters use creatine for extra explosiveness?

Mostly everyone uses creatine now a days.... So go ahead and give it a shot.....

I get cramps when using it. I don't like it.

I don't waste my money on supplements any more. Other than a multivitamin and protien powder The rest of that stuff is for what you pay for it. Save your money. The best thing you can do is eat good and eat a lot.

I believe that it's a waste. It makes you bigger, from water weight, and then when you stop you shrink down again. It will make you a little stronger while using it because of improved leverage in the muscle, but when you stop you lose it. And like Brian said, it made me cramp horribly.

Louie Simmons says not to take it.

Creatine is a proven supplement. It will make you stronger. (At least with 70-80% of the potion)

I don't use any supplements, mainly due to lack of money.

Hate creatine. Havent used it in about 5 years now. I cramp and always feel like i gota !

[b fold the truth]

If I have any cheap creatine laying around...I will use it the last 2-3 weeks before a contest. What can it hurt?

my thighs and gums. cramps and gingivitis

[ZZuluZ]

Gingivitis? Your gums?

Are you serious?! Or did your last encounter with ginvitis coincide with taking creatine?
