Curious if anyone has been using creatine for a longer period e.g. a year or more? I've been using it for about 3 months now, 5g a day. I feel like it has made a difference not only physically but also with my mental acuity. That said, I just changed medical clinics and saw a new doctor for the first time. When I mentioned I was using creatine, he freaked out and said I had to quit immediately as it did serious damage to kidneys. Everything I've read said that in small quantities it wasn't an issue. Any comments?

Let me ask you guys something directly. What does cardio actually look like in your routine right now? I get this question constantly and my honest answer is, it depends entirely on where you are and what you're trying to do. For me personally, I don't do a lot of traditional cardio. The way I train, shorter rest periods, higher reps, moving through the session with intention, my heart rate stays elevated through the whole workout. That's my cardio. It works for me. But I'm not you. If you're carrying extra weight, cardio has a role, but not mindless flat treadmill walking. You need incline. You need a real protocol paired with your diet. Walking on a flat belt for 20 minutes isn't moving the needle. If heart health is your concern, that's a different conversation entirely. Cardiovascular conditioning for longevity looks different from cardio for fat loss. Both matter. Neither is optional. And if you're trying to build muscle and you're a hard gainer, be careful. Too much cardio eats into recovery and you'll wonder why the gains aren't coming. There's no cookie cutter answer here. That's the whole point. You are built different from the next guy. What works for one man may work against another. What does cardio look like in your routine right now, and do you feel like it's actually serving your goals or just something you feel like you're supposed to do? Drop it below. 👇

Hey guys, today is my 68th birthday! I took this week off from work. I’m just about ready to go down to my basement and pump the muscles up. To be honest with you, I feel like laying in the bed and snoozing. But I remember on one of Keith’s videos he said workout anyways, so that’s what I’m going do. I got to push through it.

I don't do them much anymore because they've caused some issues for me in the recent pass. For a change of pace, decided to do some as part of my routine this morning. Bad idea! Even on an incline with relatively light weights I came away with a sore shoulder joint. No more overhead shoulder presses for me............

What is an acceptable rest period between sets of 12-15 ? 1 Min ? 2 min ?
