Bulking up and Creatine

[WOGDuquilla]

Sup Brothers I just started bulking up a week ago and this is the first time I've done it and also the first time to use creatine now I know that creatine is suppose to volumize your muscle with water so it would be normal to gain some water weight. Now my question is it normal for a 10+ pound increase in your weight in just under 2 weeks? I was 176 lbs under 2 weeks ago and I weight 188 lbs this morning. I'm doing a clean/normal bulk am not eating junk foods or anything like that so I know its not fat am gaining and I'm pretty consistent with around ~3000 Kcals 40%, 40%,20%. So just wondering

What you're gaining is water weight. Creatine floods your muscles with water which gives you that insane "pumped" feeling that creatine is known for. Be careful with creatine..... I have known people to have water spill out of their muscles and into their joints. This I've heard is extremely painful.. Be sure to cycle creatine properly also. I've seen people obtain awesome gains from creatine but the moment they get off of it and miss a cycle they loose everything that they gained. Be smart with the stuff.

You just need to be sure to stay on it and cycle it properly. I was on it for six months and went off because I couldn't afford it. I lost a significant amount of weight after that. I was however able to gain it back after another six months of kicking my ass without the creatine.

Just watch the joints brother
