I’m surprised you mentioned steroids before creatine. Steroids are well-established to be bad for you, whereas creatine has undergone a moderate amount of testing with no evidence of negative side-effects (though it hasn’t been studied long enough for long-term side effects to be ruled out). I haven’t done a ton of research, but here are my main sources:
“ISSN exercise & sport nutrition review: research & recommendations”, Kreider et al.
“Effects of creatine supplementation on performance and training adaptations”, Richard Kreider
I’m surprised you mentioned steroids before creatine.
You wouldn’t be if you knew me. You’d be picturing the twinkle in my eye as I gave the literal answer to the question before acknowledging the impracticality and giving safe but far less effective alternative.
