ya, i sometimes use Creatine Ethyl Ester, protein shake at least once a day, and sometime L-Arginine for energy boosts during lifting.
I drink like 3 gallons of water per day so my muscles are fully saturated in water. This helps muscle growth and recovery.
PM me if you have any questions, i work out 7 days a week and am in the best shape of my life.
edit: i do recommend it. but keep in mind, a good diet is 10 time more important than supplements.

damn VoidsOfPG, that sucks, what lift were u doing when u hurt your shoulder?
I think I have a permanent upper arm/shoulder injury from a bad racquetball swing that I refused to let heal and just made worsse and worse.
i have a few friends who take creatine, they say it definately makes them bigger and a little stronger. downsides I've heard is you have to keep taking it for a really long time or youll rapidly lose the muscle mass.
personally i don't want to fuck with that... I just lift weights alot, eat alot of good food and whey protein powder. it goes great with cereal!

Creatine does a lot more than just saturate your muscles with water. Creatine monohydrate is great for beginners. I think it's a lot better than some conglomerates of dogshit creatine out on the market right now.
I recommend Prolab's Creapure. Good source, but remember that it won't particularly dissolve in water. Drink it pre and/or post workout with protein and an equal amount of high GI carbs. I reccomend dextrose or waxy maize starch if you can get it (out of this world carb source due to it's high molecular weight).
