For what it's worth there's also some evidence that suggests creatine supplementation can boost cognitive function for vegans and vegetarians. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7246861/

VorpalFish posted:For what it's worth there's also some evidence that suggests creatine supplementation can boost cognitive function for vegans and vegetarians. Importantly, this is actual good research that directly measured outcomes, as opposed to the creatine baldness research which IIRC essentially boils down to proposing a plausible mechanism for how creatine could cause baldness. A plausible mechanism without research that measures the outcome directly is the academic equivalent of clickbait, and very often turns out to be completely wrong.

If it does, though, then yes, it could contribute to hair loss. However, keep in mind that DHT is only one of many factors that contribute to hair loss; an increase in your blood levels of DHT does not guarantee your hair will fall out. To this day, no studies have directly examined creatine’s effects on hair loss. nooneofconsequence fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Aug 4, 2020 |

And that's assuming that creatine doesn't just happen to something else that would negate the effect of DHT And that's assuming the relationship between DHT and hair loss has been proven to be causative, not merely correlative (this one I just don't know, maybe it has been proven to be causative)

Also shouldn't it be expected that creatine should have a (very weak) correlation with hair loss? More creatine=>more jacked=>more endogenous test=>less hair. Boom

Pretty sure most of the water retention from creatine is in your muscles, that's not bad. I've never noticed creatine having a big affect on my bloating either way either, although I think some people get some stomach effects from bigger doses of it but i can't really remember

Reading a bit about creatine since I don't currently take it. Says to do a loading week where you take four times the amount (20g) per day, then do 5g per day after. Does that align with your experiences?

Just start with 5g and take 5g daily. They're just trying to sell you more creatine.

Beef, salmon and pork have something like 2g per pound for creatine. Chicken and tuna is slightly less. Herring is around 5g. Supplementing 5g is the "more than enough" dose for most people unless they are huge. So 2g from a pound of beef or pork a day is probably fine.

Batterypowered7 posted:Oh man, sixteen bucks is cheap! 5g/day is a good lazy amount given there's no downside to taking 5g. I'd skip loading simply because if you take too much at once you can get nausea and diarrhea. It's not a scam to sell you more and will get you to optimal levels quicker (it's like you started taking it sooner). The impact of creatine isn't big enough that you can't go 2-3 more weeks without full saturation. Khorne fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Aug 5, 2020 |

Khorne posted:myprotein's creatine $12-$15 for 2.2lbs. At 5g/day that's ~200 days of doses. Actual dosing is debatable. About 0.03g/kg is a reasonable estimate from studies & bro science I've seen. That would put most people in the 1.5.g-3.2g/day range. I've no reason to believe obese people need more than a lean 105kg person would, but I am not a mega creatine expert. complete global saturation

My new kettlebells came in and wow 32kg is comically large. I can see myself swinging that someday, but I think it's going to be a looooong time before I do a get up with it. I did one with 20kg yesterday but I'm going to stick to 16 for a while until I feel more confident in the movement.

I pushed my deadlift from 320 to 450, only using a 28kg doing simple and sinister for nine months straight. One thing I’ve noticed with kettlebell training vs. barbell/dumbbell is that I feel strong as hell after kettlebell training instead of wiped out. Once my elbow is back to 100% I plan to swap back to mostly kettlebells with barbell training every other day or so. It just works better for my body.

Have you read any of Pavel's books on Barbell training? He has a few. He emphasizes the idea of feeling stronger after training rather than wiped out. When I was in BJJ before Covid I had made it a habit of doing his basic barbell program, Power to the People, before class. It felt good. If you're already DLing 450 you're probably too strong to get much out of PTTP (or maybe not) but he's got a few other books on barbell training I haven't read yet.
