How do you know if creatine is working?
I haven't a clue whether it is for me or not.

Some people are non-responders etc, hence my question.

Short of living your life like a scientific experiment, how do you know if it's doing anything?

Thanks

Re: How do you know if creatine is working?
Errrr....are you noticing the usual creatine effects?

Weight gain?
Increased strength?

If not, it isn't working.

Re: How do you know if creatine is working?
This is a good question , the only creatine that has ever worked for me is the small juice bottles that cost 50 quid. The mix yourself stuff just gives me the shytes Grrr

Yes, but these things occur from normal weight training and eating well do they not?

Are the effects THAT noticeable compared to not using it?

I think that it is a fair question, if you are training well and making gains then you start on creatine and carry on making gains how do you know if it is making a difference? I think that it is very hard to tell if it makes a difference unless you really really study your training, even then you have to be very good/anal to notice a difference IMO. I except that in some cases that you will notice but not all/most cases.

Re: How do you know if creatine is working?
Actually thinking about it, this is a really good question. Sorry that's just a useless reply but I'm wondering now if Creatine's actually doing the business but I know that when I used to train without it I wasn;t lifting as heavy as I am now so I suppose that can be accredited to Creatine.
