Should I

CatdickBojangles@X_ANKILLA can give you some solid diet advice.

ColoradoSkiSomebody tell me I’m 16, play lax. The amount I lift varies by week but it’s usually at least 3 times. Should I take creatine. I know generally what it does but what does it do before or after and during your time using it.

im also at like 17, 18% body fat. I want a better jawline. I eat very good. Meal prep chicken, wild rice, different veggies. Lots of celery, yogurt, pumpkin seeds, fruits. And k run. What body fat % do I need to get to for a better jawline and better abs. How long could that take and what’s the fastest I could do it and how

thats a lot just help me out

Kevinb5I’m 16 and I took creatine every day for 3 months and I definitely noticed a difference I would recommend it because it helped me gain muscle faster and I also gained like 7 pounds in a couple weeks that I think was a mixture of muscle and water.

asparagusWhy would you want to pump up your muscles with water? I get that you wanna look big but it’s pointless weight. Especially for skiing, you want to be as strong and lean as possible.

Suitcase_Though it is definitely beneficial to be strong and lean, there has been studies showing the positive impacts creatine has, especially in endurance. As long as you're properly hydrating and consistently taking the supplement, the benefits of creatine are quite noticable (at least from my anecdotal experience), even in small doses. That endurance increase can not only help with skiing, but also the ability to lift longer.


Here is one of those studies.

asparagusYou’re right, creatine does enhance performance, though I still don’t think a 17 year old needs to take any lifting supplements. His main goal seems to be getting more lean, which is more of a diet issue.

asparagusYou’re 17 and trying to get lean, you should be on a slight caloric deficit. My fitness pal is nice for getting an idea of if you’re eating too much. Also you don’t need to be on creatine. I’m the same age as you and lift 6 times a week you don’t need supplements, you need diet and consistency. Also don’t expect fast results.

ColoradoSkiOk. I’m I have done a slight deficit but need to do more. But after lax should I because I would like to bulk a little. I won’t expect a fast results but I do want to see more muscle and loose fat, so what is the fastest I can do that. I run a lot and eat healthy etc

ColoradoSkiI can try. What r you trynna do. Cuz I’m cutting/ main gain. So I’m eating less calories but also kinda normal. But lmk what your trynna do diet wise and I can do my best to help

MichiganCatFartNo offense to anyone on here, but from what I have seen most park skiers are scrawny bags of sticks. Maybe not the greatest place to ask for bulk advice.

ColoradoSkiNa, so I want to get Lean for know. Look good for lax and summer. But I thought creatine fills muscles to make you look more defined. I would bulk later. Trust me I’m not small. 165 5’7. I am filled not skin and bones

X_ANKILLASounds like you want everything, I can tell you how to be Slender, Fit, and Healthy, but you won't be extra strong or big. You'll just have good clean energy tho. And that route is via a Fruit Based Vegan Diet.

Hit up The Fagan's if you wanna be huge & Shredded.

ColoradoDogfartpretty sure you gotta be around 12ish% for your abs to really show, also a stronger core will make them more visible obv. i dont think theres any huge downsides to taking creatine if your ready for it but you just gotta drink a shit load of water as its job is basically to store water into your muscles meaning youll get dehydrated quicker and can lead to some liver/kidney problems if you slack on the water.

TreegrabberHit up @Skiblade420 he will give u some tips and sneaky tricks

asparagusIn your opinion, are the Fagans on the juice

LenntHow do I figure out how much if my body is fat? Is there some average system like BMI?

STEEZUS_CHRI5TDude your 17, you shouldn’t be worrying about your jawline. Are you trying to be a supermodel? Go play video games, ski, and chase girls.

Also, creatine is for bulking. That will not give you a jawline. If you’re really trying slim down run a mile every day for a year.
