Hey there,
I don't know if it's widely used in boxing, but I used it for a while leading upto a shot put competition. Basically supplements affect people differently but for me creatine gave me great strength gains. Within 4 weeks I noticed a difference in my bench press. But as soon as you stop the creatine you lose most of that strength you gained. I also noticed that I started developing shin splints. I read a university paper that shin splints can be caused by an increase in creatine. Let me know if wanna know anymore.
Peace -

You don't lose all of it. You might, in fact you might KEEP all of it. There are too many variables. Hundreds of different products nowadays, and about 7 BILLION different people...
It can help, but a lot of studies have also found that it doesn't really, or that it has more of a placebo effect.
Honestly, you don't need it.Comment

Well now I get why I was getting shin splits, I was only on like 5 grams of creatine a day too! Thats not too much is it? It kind of went away after I sprained my ankle, kind of guess needed to reset my leg a bit it was really ****ing killing me for a while.Originally posted by Darkstranger View PostComment
