<div class="IPBDescription">Your views? And my stories.</div> I had recently gotten a pack of Creatin...and this stuff is wow. I take it in very light doses (im not a big fan of body altering substances) but...jeeze. On sunday workouts for football, I took a swig of the liquid kind, and worked my body till exaustion, and then some. Squated, parallel squated, dummy attack, 1 mile run (full pads with shoulder and thigh wheights, not on the workout but I did it anyways) Leg extensions-strip set, Leg curls-strip set, and a buncha interior groin/leg muscle buildup exercises. I took the Creatin again after the workout, and painfully drove home. I woke up this morning...and...my legs were not sore!!! I felt light as a feather, I could jump higher than I could before, I had a better feeling about what my body was doing at all times, expecially in the leg/shoulder areas. My legs felt like coiled springs! I am for one a supporter of Creatin, but only in small ammounts...some guys take the stuff WAY to much, and when they stop working out.... ehh saggin time.

And the reason most people play sports is for the love of the game, but the objective of said game is to win, so your argument doesnt make any sense.
Imagine a car and it's machine. You can push it a bit. But only a bit. Push it some more and it'll fall apart. That's my view of these things.

I think outside the fact people are obsessed with looks and winning at all costs. You shouldn't alter yourself unnaturally if you truly love the game. Thats my argument.

Creatin is an enzyme that makes you muscles regenerate faster after working out, so it's not really bad for you, as long as you dont use it excessively.
My advice would be: Everything in moderation and there are no shortcuts. The majority of supplements are derived from everyday food but are taken seperately as a way of avoiding the other elements found in those foods. Taking more than you would receive from those foods in a typical meal regiment would probably be unhealthy.
Commie: You remind me of one of my middle school sports coaches who liked to end the game when both teams were tied so no one would lose. The thing is, everybody lost because the games became meaningless. Every activity needs a goal, you don't play rugby to run around with the ball, you play it to put the ball where it gives your team points (as is the case with most sports). Sports become meaningless if we ignore their scoring rules and just run around mindlessly not trying to achieve any goals.
from the way you talk of it, you sound as if you should take care not to become mentally addicted.
you should probably try to not get to the point where you take it for every workout. Or feel like your wasting you training time without it, or ever just prefer it [most of the time].
when things like this happen, while your not physically addicted, you are for all intents and purposes just as addicted. and addiction is never usually a good thing.
just be carefull and remember what Aristotle said (someone else brought this up too)
"Moderation in all things".

Oh thats the catch. The substance itself may not be addictive. But the results ARE.
If you use a supplement to make yourself stronger via unnatural means ( yes, natural supplements are unnatural in this context ) is, and always should be, wrong within any sport.
Steroids are naturally rampant in strength athletics. This is why my uncle prefers to compete in a league where drug tests are mandatory and enforced. My dad, however, competes in a different type of competition, where drug tests are a formality. This type of competition is more of a "made for TV" type, so disqualifying the major competitors would be detrimental to their purpose.
There are risks associated with steroids and other performance enhancing chemicals that my dad and uncle would rather not take, so they stay away from them.
Sorry, I think I might seem a little vague, but I'm trying not to expose myself too much.
Natural supplements are unnatural because they are administered after a refining process? So anything that's been processed is wrong to eat? Well, so much for canned chicken soup and cookies.
The drugs allowed for the athletes should be up to the sports league.

Yes... Lets apply my words to something totally unrelated.
Drugs should not be allowed in any sports. End of story.
