Okay so started a creatine cycle today. I'm a bit skinny at 160 for 5ft8. Here are some pics of around 2-3 weeks ago. I'll take some pics in a few weeks from now on. Btw, i'm 18.
I know i have lots to work on, but i'm not to worried, with time, i'll achieve my goald :)
How long is your creatine cycle going to last :D ?
Good luck! Your shorts are either too long or your pants are too short. I don`t know anymore...
haha those shorts are ****ing long... I hate them, they fall to much when wearing them, but sometimes i just don't feel like dirtying up more clothes esp for the gym. I was thinking of doing the cycle in between 5- to 7-8 weeks. Probably 6 weeks i think or that would be to long?
6 weeks to long? You can stay on as long as you want. Seriously. At one point you`ll take 10 grams on days you train then 5 grams on non training days.
I was gonna tell you to pull your pants up, but you said that's gravity's fault, not your fashion sense... you don't wanna be one of "those guys"...lol
Got a good base to start with... best of luck...
I have been taking creatine for the past two and a half years. Don't cycle it.Quote:

Lookin good Graphxxx! Along with the creatine up your food intake and you'll pack on the meat! You're on the right track.
You've got a good starting base and more importantly, a good attitude. It's nice to see someone new that understands this takes time.
good luck man, just remember... consistency is key
we all have our shit days, but those of us who keep going back for more excell :)
Trust me, i get so mad when one day at the gym doesn't go well haha. I would go to the gym 6 times a week if i could, but sadly i only go from 4 to 5 times a week. But i can almost already feel the creatine in me. My arms pumped like insane even if i'm not doing biceps. They we'rent as pumped before. So far i feel like i have a bit more energy. God i love working out, i'd go again right now if i could haha.
here is the progress after a month
Added about 6 pounds since
LOL, at the cost of the abs. I am facing the same thing . I am on my 22nd week and have put on 27lbs ( naturally ). Gone are the abs but everything else has doubled in size and strength. What is your height and weight ?
nice progress!
in just one month, you put somme good mass!^^ Keep it up! :)
And like L3 said, consistency is key and a proper nutrition too with lot of motivation!^^
you lost some abs, but you're in mass..so whe don't focus on abs héhéhé :)
Good work on trying to get into it. Its good your motivated and on the right track. Not to burst your bubble but its only creatine bro. Not to cut you down at all but ive been taking 10g a day for 5 years and its helped but i never really felt a pump. The fact that i made it to the weight i am may have been helped very slowly from it along the way but please dont expect miracles.
Don't worry, i'm not expecting miracles or else i'd already be crying that i'm not where i want to be. But its fun to see the progress coming in slowly. I notice my abs aren't really changing. I would like to cut them down, but **** me, it seems impossible... Maybe more cardio would work? Anyways, i'm now at 50 pounds pour dumbell for bicep curls which is fun about 2 months ago i was a 40. I'm doing sets of bench with aroung 165-170. I'm starting to like more and more working on the legs, but working the calves is so fun!
PS : On the first pic i'm sort of pumping my stomach, so thats why we don't see abs lol. I'm 5ft8 at 166 pounds right now. A year ago i was max 145 pounds.
i would pay money to see you curl a 50 pound DB properly, drop the weight and do them right.
a little shoulder grease never hurt anyone ;)Quote:

40 grams a day? Thats so useless, i'm sure you're body rejects more than half of it... I normally take +/- 10 grams on training days, +/- 5 grams on non training days. Should i take more than one protein shake per day? Like 2 on training days and one on non training days?
Some pics of my back
Man you have a great base to start packing on the LBM:)
Honestly listen to what some of the guys around here tell ya cause there is a lot of awesome info on this board. Im sure the gang here can have you looking killer in just a few months.
Keep up the hard work man and don't forget about the weighted wide grip pullups to get that back growing;)
Right now i'm sitting at 170 pounds.
I'm coming along, but still alot of work to do. Working alot on the back shoudlers, the chest and working harder on the legs which i won't show for now... To skinny LOL
Here 2 new pics from last week.
Wtf true supplements doesn't have the god damn creapure creatine anymore... Why is that !? !? !?
Some new updates. Worked alot on the shoulders and back shoulders. Having a hard time with the pecs and biceps lately... Will keep hitting the gym!
Oh and finally a shot for my lefs which are MUCH better than they were before, but overall, i still have lots of work to do :)
Nice transformation! :)
Keep pushing hard! :)
Maybe a litte more quads will match better with your upper body :)
looks like you have to though in some more cals to your diet....its comin along tho brutha good work thus far
EAT BIG TRAIN BIG
GB
Thanks guys. Yeah cals are a problem, i have so little time at home. I try to eat as much as i can, but i don't feel like spending all my money on food since i'm still in school. Legs aren't that bad, just not ripped at all.
Getting there slowly but surely. Thinking of mixing programs. 2 weeks 6 reps sets, 2 weeks 10 rep sets, then back and forth.
Would that be a good idea?
Well i found an old pic before starting working out just thought i'd show the difference in about a 14 months.
which is the before?Quote:

Good progress !
Thanks man. I just turned 19 about a month ago, so i'm still young. Sucks that so far last 2 weeks i haven't gone to the gym enough for my taste, this week i might go only 3 times aswell, but next week i'm going atleast 4 times for sure.
Nice man, your showing some improvements, Keep it up!
Haven't posted in a while. Well just a smal update, back at 171 lbs, bigger than ever. Still got lots to do, but coming shortly. I hit the gym around 5-6 times a week lately, intend on going that often for as long as possible.
