Benefits of Creatine Monohydrate: Improved athletic performance: -Enhances strength, power, and high-intensity exercise performance -Increases muscle mass and lean body weight -Improves performance in activities like weight lifting, sprinting, and team sports Muscle health: -Supports muscle growth and recovery -Helos offset age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), especially when combined with exercise -Can increase muscle phosphocreatine stores, allowing for more rapid ATP energy production -enhance recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage Brain function: -improve cognitive performance, especially in older adults -Could potentially help with certain neurological conditions, though more research is needed General health: -help lower blood sugar levels and improve glycemic control -support heart health and reduce stroke-related damage (preliminary evidence) -anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties Other potential benefits: -help vegetarians and those with naturally low creatine levels -improve bone health when combined with resistance training

If I could go back in time when I first started lifting I would have wanted to know: - Diet is everything in regards to physique goals - 6-20 rep range is a great place to train for muscle growth, use the entire rep range, there is no secret "hypertrophy 8-12 reps" zone, they all work - Intensity is the key to creating effective workouts & likely you'll need less volume - Training to failure is fine & works very well - Machines are amazing for muscle growth, even better in many cases than free weights - You don’t need to eat absolutely everything to grow - Rest days are growth days - Counting macros/calories is super easy & makes progress so much easier to get - It’s better to get very lean after newbies gains & then bulk slowly for 6+ months - You look even bigger once truly lean so actually stick with a cut & don't freak out that you're "losing too much size broh" - If you keep protein high, calorie deficit isn't too aggressive (less than 1000 calorie deficit), & keep lifting hard/fighting to maintain strength, then you won't lose pretty much any muscle on a cut - There is no reason to get fat on a bulk, it doesn’t help add size - Cardio won’t kill your gains - You can eat carbs and lose fat - Permabulking & spending your first 3 years at like 15-20% body fat is dumb, cut, you feel & look so much better + give yourself awesome conditions to grow - Cutting is easier if you do cardio and track steps - Don’t waste money on supplements, take them for specific reasons and purposes - Trying to 1 rep max all the time is dumb - You can’t just eat everything because you lift (again) - Take more advantage of being able to build muscle & lose fat at the same time with newbie gains

What until he learns about attachment theory… The better the father-child relationship the better outcomes in life for the child, universally. Better ability to deal with stress, more resilient, less mental health issues, more confidence, higher income & education levels, etc. How does this happen? Caregiving, physical contact, play/exploration, attention, comfort & security, etc. This advice below is perfect if you want to GREATLY increase the chance your child performs poorly in school, struggles economically, gets into legal trouble, has massive mental health & self esteem issues, &/or develops drug addictions…

@anymanfitness No major injury, just enough small things to decide it wasn’t worth it to keep pushing the big lifts anymore.
