Thanks for the advice. I would really appreciate you helping me out at the gym. It’s been a long time since I’ve used any weight equipment and I really have no idea what I should be doing or how to use the equipment. My husband goes to the gym as well, but I think he is in the same boat as I and just won’t admit it lol.

Yeah 475 is impressive for a Shoulder Press. I think I recall him saying he can shoulder press more than he could bench…which is very odd.

That is still very odd…99% of people cant shoulder press more than they can incline bench press let alone flat bench press. I am pushing pretty decent for flat and am not no where close to that on the standing shoulder press.

Hey does anyone know if Creatine Ester would be a bad idea to take if you’re trying to convert/loose weight gain muscle?

OK there is no converting fat into muscle. Yes it will be fine if you are trying to lose some fat while build some muscle. Don’t expect to put on much muscle while losing weight. Once you bring your fat level to a decent level then you can increase your calories while eating clean to build muscle.

To answer your question Yes creatine is fine to take while trying to either lose fat or gain muscle.

Thanks for the info, I realize you can’t actually “convert” weight type but I believe you can still tone muscle/burn fat at the same time. Can anyone verify that? Anyone actually taking Creatine Ester daily have any comments on it?

I took creatine a long time ago. It did nothing except cost money.

If your diet is good enough and you are not going to competitions, supplements seem like a waste of money
