Taking creatine?

Lactic acid buildup can also be reduced, controlled and managed with the minerals in electrolytes and magnesium. Creatine does not stimulate muscle growth. Amino acids increase performance also allowing you to train harder plus they carry all the necessary nutrients including water, glycogen, protein and oxygen to the muscles for growth, rebuilding muscle fibers.

No one said creatine stimulates muscle growth.

you can just eat some steak and get all the amino acids you need. don't waste money on amino acid supplements.

Funny *****! One guy tries very hard to be scientific and intelectual in efforts to prove creatine works but you didn't explain how it actually helps build muscle mass. The only thing supporting your argument is it helped a group of people during HIIT, which can also be done with H2O, electrolytes, amino acids and yes carb energy drinks. The only guys that promotes creatine are yolked out paid bodybuilders G. LOL!

Creatine works by reducing and or delaying the lactic acid buildup in the muscles, which causes fatigue, so you can work out longer, resulting in more gains.

Easy as that. You don't retain water unless you are using some 1990s creatine. Otherwise, no, you don't. That is a complete bs. Transporting water to the muscle groups being used, does not equate retaining water.

You both are so stuck in your claims that you're completely ignoring real-world knowledge. "Gravity" is merely a theory but we can use common knowledge to understand it. Yes, creatine works and there are millions who will testify to that. Yes, it can cause water retention, try searching creatine bloating and you'll get nearly a million results. I don't know what the hell "90's creatine" means but the most popular and effective form used today is creatine monohydrate and it's associated with bloating in some individuals.
