hi guys i have bought the weight gainer and now i m int he gym for 4 weeks do you think is time to get Creatine???? or other product.:confused:

No. There isn't really much point taking creatine until you start hitting a plateau with your weight training - I've been working out for nearly 2 years and only recently started taking creatine to help boost through to lifting heavier weights. If you've only been training 4 weeks, that isn't nearly enough time for your body's nervous system to adapt to lifting heavy weights, so taking creatine and trying to lift heavy is only going to cause injury.

Start off steady and keep upping the weight every 2-4 weeks - I'll bet you can keep lifting heavier without supplements for at least 6 months. Then if you find it hard to keep lifting heavier, consider creatine.

if you DO buy some, please ignore the instructions that recommend 'loading' phases. Many reputable weightlifting sites have agreed that you can get maximum benefit by just taking one serving a day, every day.

Then unload every 8-10 weeks, which means stopping the creatine for a couple of weeks. taking more than this is just wasting your money, as it's been scientifically proven that your muscles can only take so much extra creatine per day - any more and it just gets passed out of your body as waste.

The best time to take it is immediately after your weight session, as this is when muscle creatine is at its lowest and the supplement will be most effective.

Edit: I would also say don't bother buying other supplements either - to my knowledge, only 2 supplements are scientifically proven to aid weight training: protein and creatine. Anything else is just marketing rubbish, or purely a psychological aid.

thanks dude i will continu natural workout

I agree mostly with what you say. I think it has less to do with how long you have been working out then how intense the workouts are, and these become more and more intense as you refine your program and increase in fitness. The first 6-12 months are where you make the greatest proportionate strength gains, and no crreatine required. So much untapped resources.

I would add Glutamine to the list of supplements that have proven themselves. The biggest thing is adequate protein intake. 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Split over 6-7 meals. I know bodybuilders who take much more but unless you are on steroids it may be so much more unnecessary calories. Also don't work out when you are still very stiff from the last go round. You don't grow without adequate recovery time.
