Early Observations from my Creatine Experiment

Part 2 – Early Wins & Surprises
Just a quick update on how things are going with the creatine experiment since I started on March 5.
.
So far, I've noticed a few interesting changes. I feel sharper cognitively - this could be my imagination, but I do feel more on the ball. I've also had a boost in confidence in my training and even bought some heavier weights, so I'll let you know how I go with those!
In terms of physical performance, I feel like I've got a bit more stamina, which has been encouraging. My legs and glutes feel stronger and more stable and my balance has improved - lifting my leg behind me feels noticeably easier has definitely improved.
On a related note, a friend of mine (slightly older than me) recently had a second body composition test and found her muscle mass has increased over the past 12 months. She's been taking creatine and training with heavy weights, which I found quite interesting.
One slightly unexpected thing I've noticed is that I seem to be marginally more cold tolerant when swimming.
Still early days, but overall things feel positive. Happy to keep you posted as I go.
Warmest wishes (and strength!)
