its possible if you go from eating poverty calories to 3k calories a day instead of slowly increasing your calories and making adjustments

Your body absorbs more water than you know.

One night last year I decided to test this for laughs:

- Morning after intense workout, weighed 176 lbs.
- Night time after full meal and at LOTS of water, weighed in at 191 lbs.

*Creatine also helps store water in your body, so this could also play a huge factor.

Went up 6 lbs in a week? and I think he means that because it increases your performance i.e. more reps, it increases the amount of muscle you can potentially gain, so it has an indirect anabolic effect as opposed to a direct effect.

Yeah well, he's wrong. Nothing anabolic about creatine.

Nice test. But empty stomach vs full stomach is being weighed here? If so, only thing I can conclude is you have a big stomach and intestines.

Water storage is exclusive to muscle fibers.

@dro94, gains are gains right? If I were you I'd weigh more frequently and adjust your calories / cardio accordingly for a slow (ye, it's sad) and steady rise in lbs.

Your body can't absorb any more than 5gr of creatine over 24 hours.

L O L

I was new to creatine before I started training. Before I used it, I checked it out. I suggest you to do the same before commenting on it :(

dro94, immediate weight increase is common when you start using creatine. Your amount over 15 days is immense. I'm not sure, but I measured my weight every week when I started creatine. I went up 6lbs...

inafter - seems like the only thing you whiteeeeees are new to is the internet... holy phuck mang -- not even sure if srs, bcuz i wasn't
