I don't think there's much point in taking that or anything else.Random question- do you take creatine every day even if you only strength train once or twice a week? Or just on days you train?

The benefits of creatine are well known.I don't think there's much point in taking that or anything else.
It's all the same. Creatine Monohydrate. You don't need to spend any extra on micronized or anything like that. I like Optimal Nutrition marketed as ON.any creatine supplement brand recommendations?

The effects are minor compared to food and programming. Also, nutrition research is not very reliable.The benefits of creatine are well known.
Of course they are minor to nutrition and programming. The mental and physical benefits of creatine are an add on...but if you're not training and your diet sucks then yeah...you're probably wasting your money.The effects are minor compared to food and programming. Also, nutrition research is not very reliable.
of course, it’s a supplement. I think you’re preaching to the choir here, which is a good thing. Generally people are looking for magical health bullets and ignore what they consume and do/don’t do w their bodiesThe effects are minor compared to food and programming.

Regarding tendons and ligamentsI just read something about how muscles adapt much faster than tendons and ligaments and the risk for over enthusiastic beginners as they get stronger are tendon injuries. For me overhead presses combined with a lot of surfing (past couple weeks has had consistent swell in the ocean) makes for a sore shoulder (only my left...used to be my right...???)
And to address another issue that was brought up- dementia- I'm dealing with these issues in a big way with my mother who has been rolling down a steep hill for two years and in the last two months has launched off a ledge and is now in full free fall (arranging institutionalization this week). I've been reading a lot on the subject, especially about preventing it. Bottom line, like almost everything- exercise and diet. I'm sure any intense physical activity drives cognitive activity. Another thing I came across was that creatine, recommended for resistance training, also helps cognitive function in the older population and may even slow down parkinsons. Win win.
Sorry...I missed this one. I don't recall saying I do rotational exercises...but one exercise I do regularly as a supplement is a one knee landmine with a barbell. It's just something I've found that keeps me loose and ready to go. If I were to say there was one thing that translated to surfing for me it has always been long uphill trail runs at pace. Like find a two mile uneven rocky trail and get up it as fast as you can without needed a rest. There's always been something about the constant changing of gears, balance and footing challenge that really kept me not only in surfing shape but just always coinciding with me surfing my best. I don't think it was a coincidence.Hey VM, on one of these threads you mentioned you did rotational exercises, just to access the ROM. Which ones do you do? I'm looking for the most bang for the buck (time investment).
I used to be be able to do layback top turns. I went for one today, first since my back injury, and even though I pulled it, it was weak and I was like, "Uh oh. That felt....compromising."
I think you mentioned rotational mobility in relation to surfing and golf, maintaining ROM.Sorry...I missed this one.
