VJB and Creatine
hey, im gonna start vjb bodyweight and beginner plyos next week. i was wondering how many extra inches do u think i could get by using creatine with it? ive read up on creatine and it looks fine. i would probably use creatine bars but if i could get the powder i would use it. so, how much extra do u think i could gain. my vert is 24-25 inches and i want to increase it by 7 or 8 by the end of the 12 weeks

Re: VJB and Creatine
Creatine is perfectly safe to use(I use it), but at 13 years old I think you should wait a little bit before using it.

Re: VJB and Creatine
The thing about creatine is that when you use it makes you pack on about 5 or more pounds of water weight, so it may be useful in your workouts but I dont think it will help that much in your vertical.

Seriously dude you drink so much water from it. It pulls water from your kidneys and you get really thirsty. I must of had gotten atleast 5 pounds of water weight while taking it.

Re: VJB and Creatine
you dont have to take water to retain it. When you take creatine, it provides more water to the mucles, which makes you retain the water in your mucles as well as requires you to drink more water in order to avoid cramps. but it does make you retain water.
