Crepure Creatine?

Steroids are nothing but hormones. supplementing with hormones is always risky.major side effect being reduction in body immunity especially if one is using them for body building etc it will reduce immunity over along period. don't believe in coach's and marketing gimmicks.in medicines hormonal therapy is not advocated unless it is a must. no steroid is safe whatever you do. as long as they are taken they effect the delicate balance between different hormones in the body and side effects are common. in organ transplant cases they give hormones to suppress immunity.
when one is doing excersize don't worry about egg yolk. in fact cholesterol is required for the body especially for brain. whether one eats or not cholesterol is produced in the body. what is needed is some excersize. do not take ant drugs or commercial products. strong balance food is the best way. take lots of banana, eggs, meat ,milk etc.
one can get more energy and protein at much reduce cost through natural way rather than commercial brands

Creapure isnt a brand, its the base for Creatine which is manufactured in Germany. Its the best you can get.

Brands such as optimum, ultimate, weider etc all import creapure and then repack it... so essentially any brand as long as it uses creapure is fine

Your in Bombay na? Goto Vasuki Fitness@Bandra or any of the Selection Sports outlets. PROLAB creatine monohydrate should cost you around 6-700rs.

Very true. Good cholestrol is needed, and EFA (essential fatty acids) like omega 3,6,9 all boost brain functions... ask c3p0, lol. Fish, Flax seed, almonds etc are rich in these. Make it a staple in your diet

N-large 2 is the best if you just want to gain weight, but if your workout routine is not really good, you will end up obese!!

A very crucial mistake my friend. Weight training starts ideally at 18 years or over, certainly not before, not that i am an expert, but i do know this for a fact.

Yes John, but problem is I learnt that after the damage was done. Like they say better late than never.

esteem_lover · 29th May 2007, 01:57

I knew this for a fact since my nephew (16 yrs old) from sydney when he came to chennai wanted to accompany me when i went to the gym (I go once in a year) & straightaway the trainer said no weights. he did not listen & i saw him with his arms fixed at right angles for the next 7 days. he totally regretted doing that.

Prolab stuff is good, I remember. Has anyone tried that liquid Creatine stuff?

Eh, sa1nik, stop making fun of me, ok? I don't eat as much any more. I used to be quite a hog when I was working out.

cheap_deal · 29th May 2007, 09:17

there is no such thing as you have to be 18 before lifting weights. plenty of 14-16yr olds too goto the gym and work out, especially the football (american) players. it is perfectly safe as long as you know what your doing.

@esteem lover, your nephew had his arms fixed at right angles because he lifted too much weight the first few days. once you get into a routine it will go away. happens to me too if i stop going to the gym for a month and start again.

devarshi84 · 29th May 2007, 09:38

do we really need a separate thread for this?

Liquid creatine is a scam, I have a friend who swears by it though. Monohydrate is the onyl tried and tested thing on the market.

There are newer forms such as Creatine Esther Ehtyl(CEE) , Magnesium Creatine Chalate, Dicreatine Malate, Creatine Gluconate, Creatine Orotate etc... all basically monohydrate with different delivery systems.

sa1nik... oh no!! Dude I wasnt making fun, honestly I meant you would be someone who could back me up on this.

By the way before anyway gets the impression im a huge mofo bodybuilder - Im only 5'5" and bordering scrawny
