Originally posted by Orbax i dont think creatine is needed for gains.

Well me neither (since I gained 6 lbs in the last 2 weeks), but I'm wondering if creatine is a standard ingredient in most NoXplode brands.

it makes it easy to gain a good 10 lbs in a week though lol

Only supplements I would say one should take is a muti-vitamin, Whey protein, and Glutamine. I'll also take some vitamin C and fish oil for omega 3. Diet is 80% of the equation so eat lotsa chicken, fish, beef and for carbs brown rice and all the colors of fruits and veggies.

a lot of that is water weight...

You can't gain 6 lbs of muscle tissue in 1.5 weeks, your body just doesn't grow that fast. You can gain fat, water and residuals in your intestines along with some muscle (nowhere close to 6lbs). Also don't expect those gains to be cyclical.
