You should workout to build muscle. At some point, when you're in better shape and further advanced in your workouts, you might consider using creatine to help reach your goals, but not now.

i would not take creatine to try and gain muscle. all creatine does is store water. once you cycle off creatine then most of all your size goes away immediately. plus if you do not drink enough water while taking creatine look out for pulled muscles. it's not really worth it. just take an energy booster like No-Xplode they sell it at GNC or get it cheaper on-line. it give you energy while in the gym. take it along with a protein shake. you'll see size in no time. trust me i'm using it now and i've been cycling on and off of it for 2 years now. make sure you cycle on it off of it. take it for a whole bottle then cycle off for 2 weeks keep doing that and you'll see results within the first month. i went from 155lbs. to 185lbs. solid cut mass.

all my weights went up within the first 2 weeks. when i first started i was benching 235 pounds @ 3 to 4 reps. now i'm at 290 pounds @ 3 to 4 reps. that was just over a year of cycling.

Creatine has gotten a lot of press lately… unfortunately, very little of it is factual. Most of it's marketing hype.

Creatine monophosphate is abundant in our muscle tissues, and is used for the creation of energy should our stores of Adenosine triphosphate ever run out. During periods of intense use, muscle burns off its stores of Adenosine triphosphate, and has to take additional molecules of Adenosine… bond them to the attached phosphate molecules which are being held by Creatine. The Creatine is cast off as waste, while the phosphate molecule is used.

Here's the trouble. Most of the Creatine supplements on the market these days are Creatine monohydrate. Hydrogen isn't used in the bonding process at all.

So long as you're making a reasonable effert to maintain a balanced diet and training intensely, there really is literally no excuse to turn to dietary supplements in hopes of speeding muscle growth. The majority of athletes who aren't making regular progress can attribute this to overtraining.

Creatine in simple terms forces water into your muscles which will A make your muscles look bigger and B slightly increase your strength. There is no harm in taking creatine but it is in no way shape or form a substitute for hard work and diet.
