Today an instresting question came up. Does creatine work? That was it. One question with tons of different answers. If you have tried it what does it do for you. I know it’s kinda like yesterdays question but just answer it. One last thing. If it did work for you, how would you rate it? Was is great and you saw awesome gains, or was it not up to your standards and would not recommend it?

Man, I hardly recognize this person. Do any of you have a great before and after picture. Post them up if you have them. They are great motivation for other people and yourself as well. So today I was thinking about health in general. Do you look at a gym membership or monthly dues to a gym as an investment in yourself for your future health. I personally think it’s a great idea when companies pay for their employees to work out. Would you rather take charge of your life and stop something before it happens or would you rather let onset diseases take their course.

What do certifications tell you? What does experience tell you? What about just plain good old common sense? Alot of times these things are frowned upon but yet they are also praised.
