Muscle building - creatine
Hi guys hopefully some people may be able to help me about this any help greatly appreciated
I'm 20 years old(a guy) and weigh in around 180 lbs. I'm 6 '1 and have a small amount of body fat.
I have just joined my local gym where they specialise in mostly free weights as well as squat rack etc. .
I am looking to build a large amount of muscle in a short time and think I have the basics, workout 3 days a week, day on day off, day on etc. train with intensity, up the workload each workout and eat 40% protein 30% carbs and 20% fat of your total calorie intake for each day.
The thing is this, I haven't done weights before and was told to ease my way into them by working out for 2 weeks to get rid of the soreness etc, before starting to stretch the amount of weight used.
This is all OK but I was wondering about creatine and if I should use it now just as I'm starting, or wait until I start adding the bigger weights?? After I get the muscle I want I will switch to a cutting phase where I will burn of excess fat to see the muscle(definition)
If this is my goal is creatine good to use or does it make you look like a giant water filled !"&*!?
I have also read the pros and cons of using creatine and was wondering if anyone had any information and should I use pro whey etc now or wait until the bigger weights again?
Thanks for your help
