You might want to look into a supplement then. Protien or creatine, even both. If i had the time i would do both. Take a few protien shakes during the day and my creatine while i'm lifting.

I have creatine powder, but would like to try some protein supplements as well.

Save your money by also not buying the protein powders. You can get all the protein your cells need by just eating properly. Most Americans eat more protein than their body can appropriately metabolize in a 24 hr period anyway.
Basically, whatever protein your body use in the ideal method (development and repair of cells and such) you either force your body to turn it into energy for use by the cells (which it doesn't want to do) or you store it as fat. And remember the old saying.... "once it's fat, it's always fat..." In other words, if you turn carbs into fat, your body can't and won't turn it back into carbs. Same goes for protein. So, in order to get rid of excess stored energy, you have to do more activity than the amount of fuel you're bringing in (intake vs. expenditure).
As for the creatinine, it's a precursor to a hormone (steroid) and your body easily converts it into that steroid (can't remember exactly which on off the top of my head). If you really needed more, your body would make it on its own. By artificially inflating the amount of steroids in your body, you are messing with the chemistry which means side effects and trust me, you watch what happens to Mark McGuire and the rest of those bozos.... Don't do it.

What scares me more is that I don't read about you guys doing the type of exercises that are good for the most important muscle of your body.... your heart. Trust me, this is one muscle you don't want to neglect.

raquetball FTW!!!!
I joined a gym since I needed to get back into some actual physical exertion. usually, i just jump on the treadmill for 5min. @ 7mph, get slightly warmed up, then stretch a bit, then me and a couple buddies go through a workout for a couple muscle groups. My friends are kind of in it for the looks, and for some bulk, but I just want to strengthen my core a bit and stay healthy.
I tend to do 3 sets of 15-20 reps, of a slightly less weight than those guys do, and lots of times they just do 6-10 reps of something obscenely heavy. We do that for about an hour, so usually two muscle groups, 3-4 sets each.
Then we play cut-throat Racquetball (2vs1, all three of us in the court at the same time) for another hour or more.
I've been too busy at work lately, and haven't been able to make it for a week or two, and I can tell.

Have fun!
