How much muscle mass can I expect to gain with creatine?
You can expect a 2-3 pound increase in muscle mass in the first few weeks of using it. Some have claimed this just water weight, and this partially true. Creatine will cause you to hold more water in your muscle cells, which is why you need to drink plenty of water when taking it. The fact that much of the weight gain is water weight does not negate creatine’s benefits though. The additional water makes the muscle more anabolic and also increases your strength.
