Creatine didn't help me gain any noticeable weight or strength, while others have claimed 5-10 pound
increases in body weight, and noticeable power surges in their main exercises (bench press, squat, etc)
due to creatine supplementation. The most you can expect to achieve from creatine is a 5 pound or so
WATER weight gain, and a slight increase in muscle size and strength. Now here's the creatine
downside:
Remember, only some make improvement while using creatine, and even the best cases will be slight. Is creatine worth the cost? Not on my life! It's up to you. If you decide to try creatine, make sure to keep all other variables constant (diet, exercise, etc) so that you can determine the true benefit to your specific body chemistry. I believe you'll notice that creatine cost GREATLY outweighs the "results", and potential risks.
In short -- avoid creatine! Remember, muscle mass results from
PROPER training/diet, and NO supposed band-aid (such as creatine) is a
valid substitute. I have achieved tremendous success (over 60 pounds of muscle), and will show you how to improve your body through proper diet and exercise techniques.
