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.
The effects are minor compared to food and programming. Also, nutrition research is not very reliable.
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.
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 bodies
Regarding tendons and ligaments
When I started rock climbing, mostly in a rock climbing gym, nothing to climb on Long Island, I was going 2 or 3 times a week for a couple of hours
I thought I was in good shape so I wouldn’t have any problem
I was wrong
Finger and wrist issues ensued
Taking weeks off didn’t help
Taking over a year off seems to have given me time to heal
I think it's a solid recommendation to not do anything for a year because you've developed some pain or tendonitis. Tendonitis can get chronic and sounds scary and dangerous.
Another option would be to find an entry point where the discomfort is tolerable and just do that while gradually increasing the stress to the area via volume or resistance.....managing via tolerable discomfort. Then you only have to wait a few weeks to get back to activity rather than a year.

@Random Guy
just do a bunch of hand exercises.
The lotion is in the motion.
I do hand exercises in bed in the morning.
It helped a lot.
It is boring though
I know this seems like pure faggotry but it's better to do this than rest

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."

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.
I think you mentioned rotational mobility in relation to surfing and golf, maintaining ROM.
I used to run this trail on Saturdays while my daughter took Art Center classes. It was an nice 8 mile loop. These guys are going down the part I ran up.
Don't know any good uphill trails around the South Bay. I have a friend who did ultras and one of his preferred training runs was to run the shoreline of Palos Verdes from Rat Beach to Cabrillo Beach, mostly on boulders. I could try that but I'd probably end up spraining an ankle. Maybe I'll just try from Rat Beach to Lunada Bay, pizz all over the rocks there
, and then turn around.
Less is more? Good news for me, since I'm surfing my brains out theses days.

A lot of pain come from motor control issues.
The nervous system signals you by sending the message of pain.
I took me a long for this idea to resonate with me.
I have some shoulder issues and it's all motor control.
Getting control is a PITA but you need to know what the problem is before you can fix it.
