    Going to whine a little…

    @nedlm10 Creatine and protein intake have been mentioned plenty here. Adding my voice to that! Three things that I have found help with muscle soreness: 1) Elemental magnesium intake. I use Magnesium Glycinate and get some from my electrolytes. I take a rather high daily dose, over 1g. 2)...

    @nedlm10 A study focusing on resistance-trained individuals consuming a high-protein diet found that three months of creatine supplementation did not have a detrimental effect on kidney function.
