The Truth About Water Retention
Creatine does not make you puffy. It pulls water into your muscle cells which is exactly where you want hydration to be.
Hydrated cells recover faster, resist fatigue, and absorb more training stimulus.
If you train for longevity, you want muscles that are hydrated from the inside. This is one reason I consider creatine a cornerstone of strength training for teens, adults, and aging athletes.
