Why are you using that shit? It's so bloody un-natural. You're not a bodybuilder nor do you plan to be!1Time4thePpl said:

Whoa, there's alot of bad info flying around here.
On gaining weight, everyone can do it. The simple reason why people who are stick thin never can is because their metabolism is so friggin fast no amount of calories they throw at their body is an excess. People such as this, which sounds like Shorties bf, usually have no other option but to turn to weight gainers which are absolutely loaded with calories specifically designed for such a purpose.
Protein shakes are meant to supplement an already solid diet which has a good macro breakdown. To induce hypertrophy you need a good balance of protein, carbs and EFAs. If any of those are missing it just won't happen.Who said 'other supplements' are bad for you? Endless studies have been done on Creatine, Glutamine, etc, and have proven that if taken properly they won't cause a problem. Perhaps your bf forgot to take in alot of water with his Creatine?
If you have all three parts of the weight gaining equation in place- Smart nutrition, smart training, and quality rest, you will make gains.

Listen to this guy peoples ^^
He knows his shite. Anyone who says supplements are bad for you needs to do some research.

No offense shortie, but when you don't know what you're talking about please dont speak. This is one of my pet hates, because people have so many misconceptions in relation to bodybuilding because of people who hear something and treat it as gospel, when in fact it is bullshit!
Just to reiterate what other have already said - you're wrong! Simple.
Some people cant gain weight? wrong.
Creatine is 'bad for you? wrong.
If your boyfriend is not gaining weight, I can guarentee he is doing something wrong.

You're right dude.
Some might include diet, workout habits, exercise technique just to name a few. The one I most think it would be, is lack of intensity.

does anyone know anything about ecstasy and creatine? Would it be ok for me to have a big night out this weekend and still continue with creatine loading? Or is it recommended not to mix. I don't think it should be a problem, but just in case.

It is a problem.
If you are serious about your training you wont be having ecstacy. I understand that most people train to improve their appearance - but is also a health issue. Taking any drug is not recommended.

So I'm not allowed to have a fun night out? I don't drink much. I need a night to chill out and relax after a hectic semester where i didnt go out at all. I think I deserve it no matter how poorly my body handles it for 1-2 nights.melbournian said:
My question wasn't whether its good to take ecstasy. But it was more are there any adverse dangerous health risks from taking creatine and e.
Also, when im loading (taking 4 5g doses):
1 in the morning
1 at night
When do i take the other 2? Before and after weights?
I didn't ask people to make value judgements. I asked a question. I understand what melbournian and hypertropy are saying, but your comment was uncalled for.illuzionz said:
How do u guys mix in your creatine? i find it doesnt really dissolve. And straight in my mouth, theres a bit too much. it tastes terrible too.

I haven't done enough research on the adverse side effects of taking creatine and ecstacy, thus I will not comment because I am not knowledgable enough in this area.
I do however doubt that you would have any adverse side effects (other than those you would usually have eith, or without creatine).
If you are in doubt dont have one of them - preferably the ecstacy!
And don't mix your creatine with anything! Directly scoop the teaspoon into the mouth and wash down with water.

cheers.
apparently e decreases creatine levels, so it may be a good idea after the night to take some.
Oh and so when do i take the other 2 doses? is before and after weights ok?
oh and is 5g a tablespoon-full?

melbournian used to stick ecstacy up his arse for better absorption

Nevertheless absorbtion will still be enhanced without water.melbournian said:
