What a lot of people don't realise is if you're not eating right you won't grow, reason being is your body will burn your muscles if you don't have energy readily available. You need to eat around 500 more kilo calories per day to gain substantial mass and ensure you get a good supply of protein, I drink 2 protein shakes a day, one when I wake up (when your body most needs protein as it's been fasting) and one after a workout. You also won't grow much if you always stick to the same amount of weight, as you grow stronger add more kilos.
Do your research tho, because tempo, the number of reps and sets are important. Try to stick with working out 2 muscle groups per day, full body workouts are no good as you don't get time to really concentrate on each muscle. You gotta find what works for you because what may work for someone else may do you no good at all. Do your research and experiment to find out what works and what doesn't, only then will you truely grow like fuck.

In my understanding creatine will help you build your lean muscle mass. It will not build your muscle mass itself it will just expand the muscle cells so that they can 'work harder' and recover faster.. as soon as you stop using creatine you will lose that muscle mass (if not all most of it)
So you shouldnt just use creatine you should take proteinshakes aswell...
So you should probably try taking a little less creatine.. or just change the brand to get rid of the side effects.
Take a shake with lots of protein and low on carbs before training and then a shake with lots of carbs afterwards. Try to stick to products that are as natural as possible some of the stuff they sell are just full of artificial shit that suck(eg. give you alergic reactions)
And ask Chorus to fill in. He knows his shit better than anyone.
Creatine actually adds water mass to muscle, although you do need to know how to use creatine to get any real permanent benefits. Creatine can be used as an energy, it can boost performance during a workout. Research how to use it properly.

Or you can ignore the Finn, skip all the hard work and do steroids. Like a true American.
Or do it the pus...I mean Finnish way, your choice.
Steroids give you man boobs
