yea I wasn't feeling creatine. It made no difference to my workout.
Either I'm in the minority who doesn't respond to it or i'm not yet at the level where one reaps its benefits. I think it was n00bs who exemplified this using the hi-octane in a crappy engine scenario.
As for negative effects, I experienced nothing. But the documented adverse effects are quite benign (like diarrhea etc.) although in rare cases, it has been detrimental to kidneys.

Creatine is a funny thing..
It all comes back to your own creatine levels. We get small amounts through food, particularly meat and various other proteins. But don't forget your body makes it. A good enough reason to cycle on and off.
Those people that are lucky and produce more and have higher levels (only biopsy can prove) won't get much if anything from creatine. No increase in water retention, no increased ATP synthesis and no increases in strength, size, etc.
Of course no effects or negative effects will occur also if the general dosing protocol is not adhered to.
