The legal strength supplement that actually works (not an ad)

[foodwishes]

Do you have anything that will reduce the size of my muscles? I'm a little too chiseled, and it's affecting my whisking.

"This thing works"+"not an ad" is now my favorite combination of sentences.

Speaking of fitness. A deep dive, Adam style, on protein powder would be amazing

The disappointmentment when I discovered this wasn't a cocaine recipe is inmeasurable

Great video Adam, another thing to note is that a small portion of the creatine in your body is converted to a harmless by-product called creatinine. If you take creatine, you will have a higher creatinine. Now, a high creatinine is not dangerous on it's own, but it does happen to be something that we routinely use to measure renal function. Therefore, if you get blood work done while taking creatine, it may (falsely) appear like you have poor kidney function. I would advise mentioning this to your physician if you decide to take creatinine and do get blood work done.

The older you get, the more useful creatine supplementation gets. Even if it's not enhancing strength, it seems to be quite good at helping to make your muscles mend faster after they've been damaged - not really a big problem for kids with their wolverine-style regeneration, but as we age our muscles can't take the beating they used to, and creatine helps with that. Definitely can be a plus, even if you're not looking to bulk up or add strength.

Adam leaning more and more into fitness / lifting is a beautiful thing

[GreyrainLife]

In the land of insanity that is the internet, Adam’s content is always refreshingly calm, to the point, well researched, and without ego, sarcasm, anger, or condescension. We need more creators like him.

The first thing I thought of in response to creatine no longer having an effect when you stop taking it is caffeine. Not only does it no longer affect you when you stop consuming it, it very likely will cause withdrawal symptoms, and yet most people consume it daily, including as a sports supplement. Creatine already has a leg up by just no longer helping, not actively hurting with its absence

I cant believe that the guy who used to tell me how to cook pasta, make a tasty Lasagna and why it is good to wash rice is now explaining creatine to me.
I take it since 10 years now in a period of 5-6 months and i always appreciate the rapid results i get when working out. Adam explained everything quite accurate.

My morning routine consists of mixing about 1 cup (250 grams) of plain yogurt with 30 grams (unflavored) whey (About a scoop), 5g of creatine and 30 grams of granola. If yogurt and granola is something you like, this combination basically makes the whey and creatine disappear in terms of flavor/texture, as well as giving a little bit of carbs to aid in the creatine absorption. I personally find it much more palatable than any protein shake I've ever had, despite having relatively little sugar in it.

When I was training 20 years ago it really helped with muscle fatigue and soreness. It seemed to me that my recovery time was quicker. Really respect how you make your videos. Don't always agree and when I don't agree usually 5 to 10 minutes later in the video after you geek out and explain I usually agree. I'm not saying that because I think you should change anything or that my opinion matters. just letting you know the effort you put into your videos has changed my opinion on several things.

I was expecting you to talk about this but didn’t hear it. Some recent studies have been looking at using creatine to help people with degenerative muscle diseases. Because it increases muscle strength, it may allow those people to do muscle therapy when they would normally be to weak. So far the outlook is more that it helps slow the degeneration and not stopping or reversing it, but even that is worth it

MY GYM TEACHER USED TO SNORT HIS CREATINE IN HIS OFFICE...I SAW HIM ONCE AND HE GOT ANGRY AND TOLD ME TO LEAVE

[afridge]

Last month i had a class in uni where we talked about creatine so some quick info. Creatine in general helps when the body needs short bursts of energy for quick but powerful contractions(more than 65% of muscle strength although it really kicks off with 80%+). Creatine also pulls water towards your muscles making them bigger and therefore stronger although this strength is but an illusion that will fade away the moment you stop taking creatine. The real good stuff is that your muscles get tired much slower allowing you to do more exercise thus gaining real muscle strength instead of just the muscle being bigger because of water

[manspeej]

I commented about creatine a few videos ago, I'm currently on creatine I found that the strength and size gains from creatine to be pretty negligible but it made my muscles recover blisteringly fast and I'm nowhere near as sore afterwards even though I train either to or close to muscular failure on pretty much all sets, I love it (yes I do warmup sets I don't just go to the gym slap on the highest weight I use and do my working sets right away), also creatine works differently for everyone, if you start creatine you'll most likely get different results, I know someone who didn't notice a thing after using creatine for some time so he stopped

[folk_sound]

I now know Adam is becoming a total gym bro channel. Not because he made a video about creatine, but because he is being sponsored by Magic Spoon.

[maarten_zappos]

I love you Adam theres not many people who have managed to change my mind - you got me into cooking, the skinny omelet and white wine mussels are amazing - ill no longer be ignoring the good news of creatine

[vicdmise]

This is fantastic. There's so much confusion and utter nonsense in workout supplementation, that a reliable source that has actually gone through the trouble of breaking things down and putting them back together in a logical manner is tremendous. You should do an entire series (or subseries) on exactly that: shooting holes through the bullshit and talking about what works. And if creatine is the only thing that works, maybe that's all it needs to say.

[flaminggorilla]

Just know you are in the top 0.01% of creators imo. Every video I watch from you is so well made start to finish and I don't know if you have an editor or not but it is all put together in just the right order. Thanks for the quality content!!!
