As I said - only Paul_B & Yoss have something to add . . .
Creatine is not concentrated steak juice. Creatine is creatine: It has a performance-enhancing effect, it really is not the same as conc . . .
But feel free to leave this one Paul_B, it's obvious you've had enough
Comparing creatine use w/sticky rubber is ludicrous. Without modern boots we would not be here now in a bouldering forum, there would be no modern bouldering. Modern bouldering could survive perfectly without creatine use.
The caveat present w/ my comment concerning rubber iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis: the word MODERN before bouldering. Some peoples memories travel further back than yours youth Ask Webbo. A minor fairly off-topic point, but that can be good sometimes. (Yes of course we would be in a forum - that was piffle - but we would not be where we are now, like you said).
And you don't require steak of the finest most expensive variety to get the big C - any red meat is sufficient. This is not expensive, also would it truly work out too expensive for you? (flabbergasted smiley) Strewth, times are rougher than I thought, I'll have a whip-round for you at the Con Club later tonite
