Creatine, should I or shouldn't I??

The topic for today is Creatine. People at gyms are constantly talking about it and what it does for you, but is it true?

Creatine is a part of the energy cycle the body uses to have muscles contract. After people use the first source, ATP, it used CP, Creatine Phosphate. Taking Creatine as a supplement makes the Creatine readily available, thus making you have more energy during a workout, making you able to work longer, and harder.

Although the first Creatine supplement that had a bad stigma about you retaining water, the new and improved Creatine does not retain water.

The interesting thing about Creatine is that it is not effective in people that are not already weight trained, so if you are a beginner lifter, you have to wait a while before Creatine will be of any benefit to you.
