Do you want to look really good, or be very strong?
That was what I was torn between in the past when I used creatine monohydrate.
Our original Gains formula worked incredibly well, but we used monohydrate.
So I had to choose.
- Do I want to be really strong, lift the heavy weights, hit the PRs, put up amazing lifts on Instagram?
- Or do I want to look aesthetic?
When I wanted to be really strong and a bit bigger, I would go on.

*Doing a 335 lb Viking press here for 6 reps.
When I wanted to look my best, I would go off.
Now I just use Gains (Creatine HCL + Betaine) and stay on.

I get the best of both worlds.
When we made the switch to creatine HCL, we took a good formula and turned it into something truly special.
Creatine HCL is almost 40 times more soluble than monohydrate, so it actually loads into the muscle. Monohydrate leaves a lot of it sitting under the skin, which is why you get puffy. HCL doesn’t do that.
Same strength, without the puff.
I don’t have to cycle off it anymore.
If you’ve only used monohydrate, you need to try the new formula.
