I have two carrier bags in my cupboard full of creatine powder tubs.
I don't take it. For two reasons.
Often people find when taking creatine they can lift more like a couple of reps, however when they stop taking it they go down a couple reps. So it's almost pointless. If training for an event however it is ideal, giving you better results on the day, but it doesn't improve your rate of development. I have climber friends, a few of which are the best in the uk and top 10 in Europe and some of then I think supplement their diet with creatine for the day competition.
I also don't take it because I mate of mine studied creatine use in rugby athletes for his masters and when he started the study he himself was on creatine (had been for years), but towarda the end he stopped. I can't remember his exact reasons, I'm still waiting on a copy of his study.
Remember that whilst on creative weight increases may be in accurate as you are storing lots more water.
