U should be fine.

Consume after workout with some simple carbs(a good spot to get some proteins also) for full effect.

Dont do it more than a couple of month at a time.

EDIT:
What kind of work out, be specific plz.

Drink lots of water, the cratine will bind water in your body(or atleast does that for most people).

It's good, get some quality stuff. It might increase your weight quite rapidly when you start taking it. Goes down a bit though when you stop using it.

yes, the visual that i saw was mainly water weight and when i got off the mass that i had built turned into fat really fast and felt twice as hard to burn off than when i used andro (don't use it anymore).

just use protein like met/rx or advocare products...they are the best products on the market.

That is just wrong...

Musclemass doesnt magically turns into fat, aswell as fat cant be turned directly into musclemass

Yes, and I've always had good results. You'll notice the results within 2 weeks as far as strength/mass goes, but you'll notice the results regarding muscle fatigue (greatly reduced) almost immediately.

Besides "proper dosage", there are two keys:

-Lift harder than you used to (you'll have better muscle endurance).
-Lots of water.

As far as the dosage, find a guide and use it exactly. Err to the side of taking too much. Properly "load" for the first week as they will suggest, and then keep the maintenance doses up for the next couple weeks. After about a month and a half, stop for a week, and do it all over again, starting at the loading phase.

A personal suggestion, don't bother mixing it with liquids. Unless you pound the mix, you're gonna end up with a pasty mix settled at the bottom. What I do is put a heaping spoonful in my mouth (shut up) and chase it with water.

Remember, hydrate.

"lifting on various machines"
Plz use free weights.
Benchpress, squats and deadlifts are very good and important basis lifts.

Generally: If u can perform one of ur machine exercises with free weights, do it.
