Quote:My question was are you doing this to change what you are capable of as a person or for appearance. The signifigance of that question is is for you to decide. My personal veiw is that if you are physically weak its probably worth the risk. If you want to look better for it probably isnt worth the risk.
At the risk of appearing rude I won't requote what I already said. But I still do not fully understand how your question has not been answered already.
The purpose of this post wasn't about reasons whether I should take a suppliment or not. Although I already answered this in my reply to Occhi, which you refer to, so I'm confident you read.
To reiterate:
The answer for going to the gym is never black and white. People aren't there for pure aesthetics, nor are they there for pure strength. It's always a mix of the two. My reasons for the 10 pounds? As I've mentioned in Occhi's, its a mix of the two.
As far as whose best at what sport, there is a large difference between being 'the best' and 'enjoying.' Genetically my build already makes me not the best to play some sports. I don't have the frame to play linebacker in the NFL, but that doesnt mean I wont still play football on thanksgiving with friends. It is true what you have said, bulk muscle isn't the best for any endurance sport. Anytime you have extra mass it can always cause issues. This has to do with the natural way muscle builds when its used for endurance compared to short bursts, or lifting. I'm certain you know this so I won't bother explaining anymore.
I appreciate the apparent concern for my reasons for using Creatine, but they are not easily explained, and past what I have said already, I'm not in a position where I feel its necissary to speak anymore on them.
Your opinions on Creatine use is noted.
Cheers,
