Did you ever go on the creatine? If so, anything to report?

The only heavy lift I'm doing these days that's worth mentioning is the weighted chin-up (strict and slow, chin-over-the-bar, pronated grip to failure then supinated to failure for "double sets") where I'm up to bodyweight (172 or so) + 85 for my heavy sets.

1. I gain great on deads and squat, but bench can be a pain(its more just a mental game for me).
2. Yes, but I haven't been taking it religiously, and only using 2-3 gms instead of 5(I eat enough meat as it is). Imo, its worth it for the lil bit that it does.
3. I was doing weighted pullups(parallel grip though), but now i switched to chinups. The program Im on, all my assistance exercises(cept for power cleans) are at 8-12 reps for 2 sets. Once Im done with this, Ill probably go back to heavy for a cycle, but Im really trying to get my 3 lifts up.
