Here is my stand on creatine. You can get strength and mass benefits from creatine. Some people get substancial mass and some bloat up. It facilitates increased water metabolism in muscle cells, hence the need for so much water. I ask my clients 2 questions: Are you doing training for athletics? If not, do you intend to stay on this the rest of your life, or just 10 or 15 years? The reason I ask this is that when you stop taking the stuff, you will lose mass. Strength loss occurs, too. This all varies from person to person. I tried it, gained mass, couldn't keep up with the water, felt dehydrated, looked a bit bloated, and realized I was not going to do this daily grind the rest of my life, and stopped. If you tap your body the right way, you can get what you need for SWAT. I'll eat dinner and come back and tell you how.
