[Closed] So one one the younger guy at works just said.......

Many would disagree with you.

I don't doubt that, but given it's massive popularity and the complete lack of related medical issues, it's got to be in the 'mostly harmless' category.

Eg

In 2004 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a record which stated that oral long-term intake of 3g pure creatine per day is risk-free.

I'd be more worried about the consumption of Monster / Redbull energy drinks by today's yoof than Creatine supplementation.

Does he mean your physique is beyond help now at the ripe old age of 38? Does he think he's too skinny? He'll be on the protein shakes next.
It baffles me that many of the younger guys I work with are in such a shabby flabby state. Why? You're young and have everything at your disposal to be able to mantain a healthy set of dimensions. FFS, they seem to live off fags too!
I Work offshore, and on our rig everyone gets 12 hours off per day, there're are two really well equipped gyms, food is good, and you aren't forced to eat the pies and gravy each meal (tempting though that is as the pies are quite good!).
In many ways I wonder how someone under 30, doing a non-sedantary job, can keep such potbellied, slack limbbed, bejowelled frame.
I'm 47, somehow, and manage to maintain a respectable calories in to calories out balance. Theres a few squidgy bits which Id love to dispose of, but overall I reckon Im in decent shape with too many sacrifices.

I've always seen Creation as a bit of a gateway drug ...

Responding with "I'm too sexy for my shirt" followed by the dance, would have ensured he never raised the topic again.

Tell your friend there are other reasons young men spend an inordinate amount of time at the gym, with other young men. He may be worrying over nothing.
