Also started protein shakes today, hopefully see some results in the near future.
Its all in your head.

Warning: I'm not trying to knock you for what you think works, I just hate seeing people waste a lot of money on something that provides so little benefit if any at all. That's money that could be better spent on beer, strippers, ...

Unless you're doing some heavy lifting and long daily workouts, you'd get the same benefit from popping a few wakeups (caffeine) before working out. Creatine is supposed to give your muscles energy, yet unless you're doing some serious workouts, you should have enough to provide the energy you need. If you need energy, a much cheaper alternative is caffeine.

Most people new to working out love the results of creatine, since the water retention can be mistaken for putting on bulk. As for protein, most males get enough in their daily diets, anymore just gives us the sh*ts.
