Hollywood says a big fuck you to half of their market by pushing woke crap.  It's that simple.

Not to go negative, but as a Get Bigger who lives in Raleigh, this is sweet! I remember when UCLA lost to NC State in 1974. Double overtime. And Bill had his best game a year earlier in the NCAA championship game. Bill seemed to be a good guy and I'm sad that he's gone. RIP!

That guy has some good videos.

I train with a short staff (hanbo) which doubles as a walking stick as part of my self-defense stuff.

Good for warding off dog attacks too.
Can get canes with a blade which have also been around for a long time.

I found this but will do more goggling.
https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/supplement/creatine#:~:text=Creatine%20appears%20to%20be%20generally,from%20making%20its%20own%20creatine.

"Creatine appears to be generally safe, although when it is taken at high doses there is the potential for serious side effects, such as kidney damage. High doses may also stop the body from making its own creatine."

Probably from 1994.   :D

Published online 2023 Mar 18

"Despite some anecdotal reports and experimental data suggesting that creatine could be deleterious to the kidneys, cumulative evidence from independent, randomized controlled trials clearly show this is not the case. We did identify some gaps in the literature, based on which we suggest that it is prudent to avoid creatine supplementation for those who have pre-existing kidney diseases resulting in very low kidney functions. For those at risk of decreased glomerular filtration rate (e.g., some older individuals or those with certain clinical conditions), monitoring kidney function while supplementing with creatine appears to be prudent, although large, relatively long-term studies have shown no risks. Finally, consumers should select creatine supplements that have been properly tested and certified for their quality/purity, avoiding the health risks associated with contaminants."

Published online 2021 Feb 8

"Based on our evidence-based scientific evaluation of the literature, we conclude that:

1. Creatine supplementation does not always lead to water retention.
2. Creatine is not an anabolic steroid.
3. Creatine supplementation, when ingested at recommended dosages, does not result in kidney damage and/or renal dysfunction in healthy individuals.
4. The majority of available evidence does not support a link between creatine supplementation and hair loss / baldness.
5. Creatine supplementation does not cause dehydration or muscle cramping.
6. Creatine supplementation appears to be generally safe and potentially beneficial for children and adolescents.
7. Creatine supplementation does not increase fat mass.
8. Smaller, daily dosages of creatine supplementation (3-5 g or 0.1 g/kg of body mass) are effective. Therefore, a creatine ‘loading’ phase is not required.
9. Creatine supplementation and resistance training produces the vast majority of musculoskeletal and performance benefits in older adults. Creatine supplementation alone can provide some muscle and performance benefits for older adults.
10. Creatine supplementation can be beneficial for a variety of athletic and sporting activities.
11. Creatine supplementation provides a variety of benefits for females across their lifespan.
12. Other forms of creatine are not superior to creatine monohydrate."
