Question

Has anyone had success with gaining muscle mass/strength by using creatine and/or Stemulite?

Answer 1

The most important thing in your diet including supplements is ensuring you get enough protein. As a rule of thumb you want your protein intake in grams to be the same as your weight in kilograms. Your body can also only process around 25 grams of protein at a time.

Creatine is only of any use for top level athletes and professional sportsmen and even then the gains are negligible.

Answer 2

Creatine and Glutamine are the 2 best natural supplements for muscle gain out there... Creatine will help with strength and endurance, glutamine helps will the process of turning protein into muscle.  In my opionion they are 2 absolute musts  

Answer 3

Creatine is just dextrose in powdered form. It has all the effects of a sugar without any of the crazy insulin spikes. Therefore you retain insane amounts of water which makes you muscles seem swelled up. The effect goes away after you stop taking it.

If you want to bulk up, eat big and concentrate on the big 3 lifts. Squat, Deadlift, and Bench Press. Lift heavy by doing 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps at around 80% of your maximum weight.
