EPTAlso try to allow 48 hours between workouts of the same muscle. Don't overdo it like many people who want to start "working out intensely." It's hard to be patient.

I've been working out a lot lately and while I've made very noticeable improvements in my build, I can't seem to build significant arm muscle mass no matter how long or rigorous my workout is. and if I take a break, like for a couple days, it almost seems as if I never did anything at all. I know genetics play a pretty strong role (I have pretty scrawny uncles/grandfathers) but I really want to build some mass. I was just drinking a protein shake (I think some kind of soy/whey combo) and maybe a bar after a workout, going like twice a week. I think I basically realized have to go more than that to get anything accomplished. I'm pretty fit and thin as it is but want moar muscle. eat. A TON. of food working out is useless if you don't have the food to add on muscle. also, try going more often, 3-4 times a week. | ||

There are many supplements that bodybuilders use but none will be useful for you if you don't plan to be one. Eat well, drink well, get minerals  and train whatever you can and you will be fine. | ||

You don't need anything else basically, don't think too much about supplements, stick with basics and proper workouts. Whey protein is good before and after your workout, like incontrol wrote. | ||

No he's not an idiot but he may overexaggerate a bit. Creatine CAN cause liver/kidney damage IF your liver is susceptible or weak somehow. The problem is that you don't always know if you have a bad liver which can make it dangerous. Generally speaking, normal amounts of a creatine supplement is not dangerous at all though. Even around 1/3 of the soccer players in England use creatine. | ||

It's an idiotic response to someone asking about creatine or any other concentrated supplement. | ||

It isn't healthy especially in the long run. They usually all have warning labels about renal damage, liver damage, etc. It makes crappy water muscles anyways. Uh, no? http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=112484941 Specifically; What exactly does creatine do? *Provides extra energy for your muscles *Causes volumization of muscles (just increases the size) *Reduces lactic acid build up *Increases protein synthesis Will I lose my gains when I stop taking creatine? Creatine generally leads to two types of gains. You can build more muscle due to the added strength creatine can provide and you can retain more water in the muscles. The muscle which you gain as a result of increased strength is the same as all other muscle. It is as permanent as muscle you gain when you don't use creatine. This will not be lost when you stop taking creatine. However, the water retained in the muscle is temporary. This will most likely be lost when you stop taking creatine. | ||
