Do the pros really take supplements like creatine, etc?

[wavelength]

Creatine is the only OTC supplement that does anything (apart from some special "supps" that slip through the system sometimes). Some supps are convenient food replacements, but one can just as well do without them and get everything from normal food.

true, but that money spent on "creatine" could have bought more chicken. Good ole' chicken

lol, you can get a few months supply of creatine for 15 euros, that lasts two days in chicken.

Creatine is dirtcheap, another reason to take it.

Don't you get creatine from meat?

creatine does something just as much as supplements like arginine and leucine and beta alanine do.

however, although they are proven to do something, they dont do anything noticeable

yeah you find creatine in red meat but you would need to eat a few lbs every day in order to get the amount needed for optimal effects, then again the optimal effects arent really that singnificant.

That's what I meant. Creatine hasn't done much for me either, but at least there is some evidence that is improves body composition.

didn't know, never used creatine

if you eat enough, yes.

[The Master]

if you eat enough, yes.

The amount needed to be eaten is supposedly humongous, like several dozen pounds.

depends on how much creatine you think is actually beneficial

I agree with this post.

 Creatine, the original ma huang ephedra alkaloids and the original 1-Test supps were the only supps that made a real difference in your physique.


 I don't know how els to make this more clear. Umm, let me see...  Okay,

 Look, queerz! Pro Bodybuilders do NOT use nutritional supplements that we see at health food stores and advetised in the magazines. They don't. When they first got into training I am sure they did but once you get to a certain point (national level, upper-national level and beyond) you realize that plain whole solid food is so much more effective so they cease all 'supplements' and just eat whole solid food all the time. No shakes, no N.O. boosters, none of that. Nothing.

 I can't make it more clear. Stop debating this. The answer is NO.

You experience brain slowdown compared to your earlier years? When did this start? When you caught your first STD from Yaroni?

Funny thing is, every nutritionist with half a brain would agree.
Unfortunally many of them are part of the "business".

Exactly. It's funny... I know a guy who hired RimMe Handjob who, is passionate about B$N products or whatever, but when he showed me his basic 7-day food outline there wasn't a single supplement listed. Not glutamine, no BCAA, no creatine... nothing.

 I also know a guy who hired Teh Chad. Teh Chad has some part of NXLabs. When I saw what he was doing for his dry-out week written directly from Teh Chad Himself? Not a single supplement listed. Nothing. It was all food and drugs.
