Well, to put it simply, creatine adds water weight. Whereas protein is supplemented to directly build muscle tissue, creatine will incorporate water into muscle fibers as they heal themselves post-workout. Due to the retention of water, creatine gives the muscles more of a bloated appearance rather than a lean solid look.

Also, because creatine plays a role in the transfer of energy between skeletal muscles, some claim that it helps them get that extra "boost" of energy they need when lifting an extreme amt of weight.

lol mate protein,creatine.a good multi vit and some sort of flax/fish oils are the only supps we can all agree on-
weight gain for ectomorph is a long haul-
you need to be adding 500cals a day to youre maintainance diet -do it in small amounts over along peroid of time-
small progressive increments are the way to go-
even a quarter of a pound a week will give you a solid stone at the end of a year.
