creatine is worthless if you don't take it on a regimen.  a couple of pills here and there wont do you any good, you'll need to be taking a days dose (5 grams) every day for a month before it starts affecting you.    Alternately you can take 5 grams, 4 times a day for a week to get it into your system, then take 5 grams a day after that.

before working out

but if I am not mistaken, you are suppose to take a load of it initially so it gets in your system. I used some powder mix, and the directions were to take 4 or 5 times a day for 4 or 5 days, I forgot exactly how much. Then after that, take 1-2 times a day.

That doesn't really make sense. Creatine does not build muscle, it makes you able to work out harder for longer. It would make sense to take before working out, and load up on protein after working out.

Creatine isn't short acting, it stays in your blood, hence why a loading period is required.

It doesn't matter when you take it as long as you are keeping on your regimen.

Creatine really isn't necessary, especially if you're just getting into bodybuilding.  I've seen pictures of you, and we have a similar body type, which leads me to believe that if you were to work out on a regular basis for even a week or two, you would notice significant muscle growth.  These are referred to as "beginner's gains."  You are nowhere near the point of even having to consider any kind of supplements, unless you wanted to buy some whey protein powder to make a shake to drink after your workout, but even this isn't entirely necessary at this point, though it certainly wouldn't hurt.

I'm not currently involved with bodybuilding, but I was for several years, and in my experience, creatine is best utilized to overcome "peaks," meaning a point at which you're stuck at a certain amount of weight for a particular lift.

I made this post under the assumption that you have just recently become interested in bodybuilding, so forgive me if by some chance you've been studying it for years.

Are you familiar with how to perform the basic exercises and what not?

Also, what are your intentions here Coaster?  Are you looking to increase muscle mass, build strength, or both?

I've always used Cell Mass (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bsn/cell.html), followed the directions to take it immediately after each workout and it worked just fine for me :shrug: It's probably a little bit different from what you're talking about; just pulled it up from some cheesy site..

Hard to tell if it's the supplement or how I used to work out every day. Now I only do a few times a week since I've been in a weird mood. I just saw other people use it and say good shit about it so I bought it and it works just fine IMO. But I also take protein and vitamins and etc so like I said it's hard to tell which did what.

good shit for recovery though..

But like I said, no (legal?) supplement is just going to make you super cut and huge. You still have to do most of the work ya kno?

-get a gym membership

-you HAVE to eat.  Diet it everything.  It what's makes the difference between poor results and great results.  If you're just starting out, eat atleast 4-5  big meals a day IMO.  And make sure you get alot of carbs in there, especially in your meal before you work out.  also, you should workout 1.5-2 hours after eating a meal.  And you should eat a meal within 1 hour of working out.  Eat a good portion of protein in each of the meals, atleast 30 grams per meal.  And make sure you get healthy fats in there through peanut butter, and olive oil if you eat salad.

- perform all the basic compound lifts, such as deadlifts, rows, squats, benchpress, etc...

-learn how to supplement your workout with the smaller isolation exercises, but focus on the main ones.

-make sure you rest... sleep atleast 7 hours in a night, and do not lift weights more than 4x a week.  3x a week now is all you need, and indeed for ever.  If you get more serious and know your  body, then you can train more but until then, you are likely to overtrain.  Less is more in the gym IMO.

-workout 45-1 hour, depending on the workout.

If you're a noob then you can expect to make noobie gains like 10-15 lbs in no  time!

Once you really start getting into the gym thing, then take the next natural step and start researching like you would anything else, and take it from there.  The tips I gave you should suffice for you to make your noobie gains and get you started.

Like another dude said, you don't need creatine at this stage.  What you need is good food, good weights, good rest.

If you are going to take your creatine (I assume it's Purple K), take 2 of them 30 mins before workout, and 2 immediately after.  Take two in the morning on your off days.

I guarantee you they won't do shit at this stage, your body won't need the creatine until you have more development.
