I thought this would be a fit for the ladies looking to increase muscle mass without the use of AAS:

A few points about creatine:

• It is a naturally occurring amino acid in fish and red meat and is naturally found in our bodies
• There are 100s of studies confirming it's efficiency
• Increases strength
• Promotes lean muscle mass
• Reduces fatigue
• Improves muscle recovery and endurance
• You do need to maintain a consistent workout schedule to achieve benefits
• It will not make you "manly" as many women stipulate

Caution:

• Avoid taking high doses for long periods of time, this can have a negative affect on both your kidneys and liver

I'm normally a var girl but thought I'd switch it up and give creatine a try, after seeing it as a go-to in between gear cycles for my bf I did some research and gave it a try.

I went for creatine monohydrate in a pill form, which requires no loading and is said to have minimal bloating affects - which I found to be true. For my first cycle I took 3g a day for 4 weeks. I noticed some overall bloating but found it disappeared a couple weeks after stopping. Overall I was happy with the results: I had more energy, better muscle recovery, increased stamina and achieved solid pumps during my workouts. While it felt like I was having the opposite affects of var (feeling bigger during my cycle rather than leaner), the end results were positive and there was a definite increase in muscle mass and toning, especially in my thighs (which have always been my trouble zone).

Hope this helps and would love to hear other's perspectives!
