if i train with creatine, and then stop using it, will i have made more gains than if i had never used it

Creatine allows you to train slightly harder than you otherwise would have. So if you use that, and actually train harder, then yes, the end result will be better than without creatine.
creatine = RIP hairline
speaking from personal experience here. Friends who lift experienced the same thing

It comes back, but still not worth it to most people
>>34988325
How long and how much did you take?
>>34988325
Still this meme? Look it up. If you lost hair while taking creatine you genetically were predetermined to lose hair.... Many many studies have been done on this
>>34988455
about 4 years, 5-6 times a week
>>34989125
then how do you explain that I'm not losing hair anymore since I stopped taking creatine? Fuck your studies, I'm 33 y-o and been lifting for 6 years, I'm not some 18 y-o skelly talking shit on /fit/
Creatine does work however, it will give you slightly better lifts

And how many grams did you take per day?
>>34989415
so if i lift with creatine, the gains made are permanent as long as i train hard enough to get a benefit?
only reason i ask is that I'm training for a situation that will be rather austere for several years.

the recommended dose. I took double or triple the dose a few times to see what would happen. I noticed a very nice strenght boost and hair falling much faster
>>34989472
no gains are "permanent"
Hm I wonder if women would have their hair fall out too... no reason...
I just started creatine a few days ago. Quite looking forward to improved lifts. Apparently it's also good for reducing the risk of TBI (traumatic brain injury), which is great if you play impact sports.

OP it just help you push yourself a little bit more without feeling too fatigue
I stopped using supplements cause I hated peeing so fucking much. it's fucking ridiculous how much I had to go plus I was drinking a lot of water to be heathy cause muscles need water and your body needs be hydrated lol

yeah my routine called for about 5 miles of running yesterday, and i woke up with a headache this morning. Not enough water between the caffeine supplement and the creatine.
