> [@2toneishot](#): > > probalby wasnt teh creatine, most likely the steroids haha jk. seriously though your not gonna notice this earth shattering gain from taking creatine. creatine doesnt really help build muscle in the way most people assume. creatine is naturally found in the body and is synthesized by your liver. your body has a average store of 160grams at any given time. why it helps you build muscle: your body uses ATP as its energy source, i will not go into the details of ATP because its kinda complicated. saturating your muscles with creatine increases this energy source and makes it more readily available. that increase helps you build muscle by increasing the amount and repetitions you are able to perform at a given exercise. so its not really the creatine that causes the increased rate of muslce growth, its the intensity of the workout. i hope that makes it more clear and PM if you want more information about creatine! its kinda my specialty because i did my junior and senior project on the effects of creatine 🙂 Jimmy ---

How the fuck do I keep from being hungry before I go to sleep? That’s my biggest weakness. I can control what I eat all day long but after I get done lifting or running at 9pm I’m starved!!! ---

you need nutrition after you exercise so not eating is worse than eating. since your exercising so late at night, your metabolism will stay higher while you sleep. so dont worry about food intake before bed. get some good carbs and protein in your body before bed and youll be fine! Jimmy ---
