I’m only basing this on.anecdote, in school we had body kinetics and a group of us skinny guys the same weight were lifting and half took creatine and put on a lot of muscle real quick but were not any stronger than those of us that did not evenn after putting on 15 lbs more muscle or whatever.
Comment on Is creatine safe?
tourist@lemmy.world 1 week agoI might be confused, but I thought creatine gives your muscles a minor"second wind" kinda thing so you can push yourself to do some extra reps? It’s not like a steroid kinda thing, I was told.

Kinda, but the effect is almost imperceptible. It’ll help you get like one more rep on your last set, or maybe one more sprint, at sufficient intensity, which is a little bit of extra volume that does add up over time with proper consistency. So, not just “looking stronger.”
The brain health effects that the influencers are talking about now are just hype, though.
