anyone use creatine?

I'm 6' 160 and rotate arms abs legs and cardio

I can workout an extra couple sets with it. After being on it for a week I'll get sick as shite and stop taking it for a week. I start back up on it every other week.

Am I fricking up my immune system from over-working or is it the creatine?

Is it just a waste of time and money?

I have before, a few years ago.

How much are you taking? You may want to try a different form, like kre alkyln. Mono can cause an upset stomach in some people.

If you're like me, and you may be, I have to take extra glutamine when I work out or I'm prone to getting sick. High intensity training can drain your glutamine stores (your immune system needs glutamine).

Also, make sure you're getting plenty of recovery time, people really underestimate the importance of rest for muscle building, you need more rest than you think.

get aftershock it's got a mix of creatine and other stuff for right after you work out, it's good stuff, taking straight creatine is hard to do.
