After reading about it for so long, I decided I'm gonna pick up some white flood with my protein tonight. Heading out to Vitamin Shoppe and copping thelemonade, powder form. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

A shoulder press is when the lifter is sitting down. A military press is standing. Theres a significant difference between the two actually.

I want to give jack3d a go haha, I sort of want to feel the crazy energy it supposedly delivers. Would it work good before a game of ball?

Is there a certain age you should use creatine?

^ I don't think so... But you should wait.
Don't fully rely on supplements for results. I mean they do have benefits.
But see what you can do with what you have right now. Good diet, a good regimen and plenty of sleep is all you need.
THEN, when you feel you need that "extra" a couple months down the line, go for it.

Alright, so I went to my nearest vitamin shoppe 26 miles away. I was looking to get ON whey again, but this time opted for dymatix elite (on the recommendationof the worker there). He seemed pretty knowledgeable so I went on with that recommendation. Looking at the stats, the Dymatix is pretty good. Less cholesterolthan ON, also no Sat. fat. It has about 21 g of protein per scoop, less than the ON. I also bought white flood electric lemonade.
I get home, eat a steak, wait and then take my white flood right, right before I head to the gym. Off the bat, i mixed in 1 scoop (said use 1/2 scoop to testtolerance, but I said #%%+ it). It tasted terrible. Like bitter lemonade.
Then it was out the door I go. Right before making it to the gym, the music in my car seemed to get louder, I was more focused on everything I was doing. Wentinside...had arguably one of the best pumps I've ever gotten going. Today I hit 90 on the dumbbell press, but that was after 10 full reps of what was mymax before (85), and a warmup of 70lb-ers. After that, I was doing everything I normally do but it was like I was on speed. I managed to do every exercise,even the last ones (7-8th exercise) with the weight I normally do AND 30 secs rest.
Says you need 1-2 gallons of water per-day. I thought that was a bit much but everytime I hit the fountain, I had to pry myself off. It was like water nevertasted so good in my life...I was gulping that +%+% for about 10 secs straight each time.
Verdict: I'd recommend white flood, granted you follow the directions.

Sounds interesting. I'll definitely give it a try sometime down the line, just not yet. How many exercises did you do today? I usually do around 4-6.

^Tennis did the same to me, bro. My right side used to be a lot more cut-up than my left...it was really noticeable. Now its not as bad since I'vestopped...but for some reason my left side is still fatter.

I'm Vietnamese and mostly eat viet food that my mom cooks on the daily. And she makes a lot of meat: chicken, pork, beef. I eat lunch at school, which is nothing. But when I get home, I eat a bowl of cereal and milk and for dinner I eat the food my mom makes.
Guys, I'm not trying to be fat lol. Just want to gain weight and muscle. So I guess I should start lifting weights (but wouldn't it make you short though?)
And does jump-roping help you grow taller?
So are you saying that or assuming I'm FAT!!!? lol just playin. I have never eaten traditional viet food, but from what I know its not thebest for gaining muscle mass. I feel like you need more protein. Use the calculator to see if youre getting enough. Also why in the eff are you asking aboutgaining wait and not lifting? This is a must if you dont want to get fat but want to gain weight. it sounds like your an ectomorph with a high metabolism sodont worry to much about your fat; just do some cardio and adjust your macros if you feel youre getting too fat. Although to be honest I felt like that too,but when i'm bulking (170 10-12% bf) I feel good cause my strength is so high, even though my fat % is high. What do you eat for breakfast? Try to eat 5x aday and things that fit your nutritional needs. Cereal and milk for after school snack is ok, but a chicken breast with sweet potato would be better, you see?
Edit- lol about the height thing.

You certainly wont get shorter because you lift. If youre over the age of like 13 then youre fine.

Creatine retains water which makes you look inflated correct? IMO i won't touch it till later maybe during a plateau

Basically. I don't like using supplements. I'd rather work my way up with whole food, but I won't knock someone that uses the right ones for theirgoals.

I agree with you there. Not against it, but I would like to do as much as I can possible without supplements (aside from Whey etc..)
Keep at it fellas!

It does. If it isnt providing some water retention youre either taking a horrible supplement or not taking it properly.

It retain some water weight yes, but it does not make you look inflated or bloated like older creatine and Im taking Kre Alkaline.

Some people just don't really respond to it at all
Where did I say anything about him looking inflated?
It's basic scientific principles.

He said it doesn't make him look inflated, you said it does. I'm not gonna argue though, it has different results from person to person. Obviously itprovides water retention, but the extent to which it does so differs based on the persons physiology. I had friends who did a complete loading phase and saw nodifference at all. I saw a small difference, while some others claim to have seen a big increase in size due to water retention. To just say "itdoes" isn't completely true. That's all.
