Question: I was wondering what your opinion of creatine was? I've heard a bunch about it, and i'm on the fence about trying it. I have wanted to put on weight, though I eat healthily, and ALL THE TIME (basically), but still struggle to put on any mass. What do you reckon?
1. Let's pretend for the next two months you eat two more meals a day than usual and drink a gallon of milk. You manage to hulk out and you fucking love it. Until you get sick of eating so damn much and your body goes back to its norm- skinny ol'me. Lesson here: whatever "bulking technique" you decide to use, make sure it's sustainable. Or schedule a photo shoot for the day you are the Hulkiest and at least have photo evidence of all your hard work.
2. Getting body fat levels in check is cool, adding a little muscle is awesome- just make sure your aesthetic aspirations actually fit your body type. Want to add on forty pounds of pure muscle and grow 6 inches? You're out of luck. This is one reason focusing on performance goals is more beneficial than aesthetic, then your whole body and soul is along for the ride.
3. Hey small guys, CrossFit has you tricked. Manliness is not determined by a 225 pound snatch or a sub 1:20, 500 meter row. The "sport of fitness" has become skewed into the "sport of exercise tasks" with a lean towards heavy and long. It no longer tests true individual fitness which must take into account so much more for instance bodyweight, age and a broader range of modalities. This conversation is too much to have in our number three here, instead I will just encourage the mighty mouses among us to move weights that make sense for you, to get stronger one day at a time with a smile on your face.
4.. I have never read up on creatine, but here is one piece from a source I trust. Good luck!
