Creatine works and works well.
In 2 years of consistent usage when i first started lifting around 17, i went from 165 to 224lb in just under 2 years with visible ab lines (top 2 always) and solid size. Alongside creatine, i always used whey, multi-vitamins, ginseng (vials), weight gainers, ephedrine, vanadyl sulfate, and sublingual GH releasers. Strength and size were in sync. Bench went from 185 for 10-12 reps to 225*9. Squat from 225*10 to 295*10 fairly easy. Deadlift 275lb*10 to 325*8-10. Then i was on my death bed no so long after. And took about 7-8 year lay off from any type of workouts. When i did start back up - started with the whey and creatine again. Got back to former self within about a year. Only 11+ years later did i for the first time use Test/var and now on 2nd cycle. In fact, i can say using creatine is the equivalent of using 500mg test weekly.
Furthermore, I learned on 2nd cycle not to mix Creatine with AAS. It throws all the blood work numbers off, and the muscle cramps and spasms are notorious. My response to any supra-physiological usage of supplements and AAS is explosive, i find. Towards the last 8 weeks of 1st 18wk test e/c cycle added 20mg Anavar, literally things changed within a week. Went from a blow fish look to a solid fish with visible vascularity everywhere except abdominal region.
By the way those thinking of using creatine alongside AAS, don't IMHO. My doctor told me when he initially saw the blood work to start making arrangements. So i started digging a grave about 1 foot each day in the backyard. I got to about 5 feet before the internal medicine specialist said you're within the norm. On top of the blood work, i had everything thoroughly tested including heart, lungs, and liver.
