I've just started this as i'm starting back at the gym.
I wanted something that didn't really put mass on me but just aid me in the gym, as im trying to lose weight and get some muscle back. Any one ever used it or got views on it?
Also i'm having problems with my diet, i'm struggling as to what to eat which is quick and easy.
I normally have Porridge etc in the mornings and then struggle what to have for dinner which is easy to do, but most of the tim,e i just have a chicken type sandwich with a oat flapjack and water.Then when i get home i normally have 2 skinless chicken breasts with different stuff over it but is there anything that add to the chicken to make it taste not so bland?
Cheers Tom
Also i fucking hate anytime of fish etc and cant stomach eggs.

Creatine is a load of tosh, it doesnt do anything, dont waste your money!
Have a look on the protein thread to get an idea of diets.
As for chicken breasts, marinate them in reggae reggae sauce before you cook them

I presume you gained this peer-reviewed nugget of genius from 'Pete down pub'?
For lack of a more convenient source;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatine_supplements
Creatine does work, when utilised with a proper transport; aka, huge amounts of sugar to send your insulin levels through the roof, plus plenty of water.
Maximuscle products however are hugely overpriced random shite for people who think slendertones work and muscle toning is real( )
http://www.myprotein.co.uk/ is the way forward, MP24724 5% off.
Not conway-joe, conway-sam.

creatine is already saturated in your body, extra stuff does nothing. Pro body builders and nutritionists have all told me the same. i listen to them over wikepedia

Creatine has been proven to be quite effective for strength training and bodybuilders. Dizzy, pro-bodybuilders won't notice the effect of creatine as much due to their bodies being 'enhanced' by other means.

Yawn, creatine is stored in your skeletal muscles. Its only recruited on when you partake in heavy exercise and even then its hard to convert into anything useful - creatine suppliments do jack shit as your body already has it stored in your muscles as it cant use it, so why add more when you already have plenty stored?
Its a waste of money. Ive used it myself and seen no gains at all and that was post cycle too. An ex customer of ours used to be a mr universe - he was sponsored by a company and given £400 worth a month for free and it didnt do anything for whim when he was training clean for competition.

You have to love gym threads in here, there's some amount of gym snobbery that goes on

An excerpt of a meta-analysis of a range of controlled trials:
Branch JD. Effect of creatine supplementation on body composition and performance: a meta-analysis. Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab. 2003 Jun;13(2):198-226.
"CONCLUSION: ES was greater for changes in lean body mass following short-term CS, repetitive-bout laboratory-based exercise tasks < or = 30 s (e.g., isometric, isokinetic, and isotonic resistance exercise), and upper-body exercise. CS does not appear to be effective in improving running and swimming performance. There is no evidence in the literature of an effect of gender or training status on ES following CS"
N.B. ES - effect size, CS - Creatine Supplementation
