| I took creatine for 4-5 months and went up about 80lbs in my bench press. Before I started taking it, I was working out about 1-2 hors a day, 3 days a week. I couldn't work out for much more than that because I'd need my muscles to rejuvenate.
Well once I started taking it, within 3 weeks I was able to work out 2-3 hours a day and 4-6 days a week and still be OK to participate in other sports I do (boxing, water polo, etc.). When I just started working out on creatine, I could bench 160lbs. In four to five months (and a lot of training, boxing and weight lifting) I was able to turn that to 230lbs. I'm going into 11th grade and I bench more than anyone in my weightlifting class by 20lbs. My friends ask me if I take steroids all the time and my boxing trainer made me get a drug test to make sure I wasn't.
In my opinion creatine works, but if you want good results you have to train harder than you ever had before; and creatine can help you do that by increasing your muscle rejuvenation. Oh yeah, make sure you are drinking a lot of water while you are on creatine or even just working out.
