Would someone remind me how dumb smoking is?

You don't live that far from me, punk, so watch it.

 

It doesn't, just fills the creatine pool in your body quicker.

U need to buy more games, possibly frustration-free games (frustration would push u to smoke), and keep on playing those. Forget about the kids, forget about the laundry, the dishes, the dust settling on ur furniture. Just have some YOU-time.

Have a wank, i don't know.

 

And creatine is good for .. ? ( And what does it cost )

 

It's like protein milkshakes and "sports drinks" - they are just ways of exploting money out of people. If you eat a balanced diet and train sensibly they are not needed.

 

It depends on how much muscle mass you have, as that's where it gets stored.

The creatine supply in your muscles is not limitless. The average human has between 3.5 and 4 grams of creatine per kilogram of muscle. Once you use up the creatine in your muscle you have to rest your muscles and wait a while before you can exercise the muscle again. Studies have shown that the human muscle can store up to 5 grams of creatine per kilogram. So, by taking a creatine supplement you can raise your levels from 3.5 to 5 grams of creatine - and thus enjoy more of the benefits of creatine.

Yes, so says a website trying to sell you the stuff...

 

I'm just gonna say I'm so glad I don't smoke.

I've read all the independent studies on Creatine before I decided to load on it, I'm a walking Creatine encyclopedia.

Once you fill your muscles with as much creatine as they can(loading phase), you do a 5 gram a day maintenance phase to keep that pool(i'll call it a pool) filled because you do piss some of it out each day. It doesn't matter if you load or not though, because your going to fill the pool up eventually, just slower if you go 5G a day.

This all being said, Creatine works, and I know first hand. It basically acts like steroids.

But this is a smoking thread and this is all I'm gonna talk about Creatine here.

 

And, presumably, it's a bit hard to put in a roll up **


Disclaimer: I'm against all forms of smoking - it's a stupid way to b&gger up your body. I also don't like backyard bonfires because they are also V. bad for you.

 

Nah Digi, it's just not worth it in the long run, or in the short run for that matter.

Plus, we need you around here, don't even give us the chance to think we might lose our most entertaining commentator. Not to mention the village idiot benefits we get out of the deal.
