And then, you know what I realized we did?
We would hang out at supplement stores.
We'd literally go in and the supplement stores always had some big bro in baggy pants that tapered down to his feet and he was barely wearing a shirt and he was yoked and he was explaining to us.
And we were like at the altar of this guy and he was telling us there's creatine monohydrate and then there's like creatine phosphate.
And at the time everyone said creatine phosphate is better and you have to load 30 grams a day for two weeks.
Then you go into your maintenance phase at five grams a day.
And then you repeat the cycle every eight weeks or whatever it was.
And we were like buying this stuff by the truckload.
And this is like almost easily 35, 40 years ago.
Fast forward, I don't know, a few years ago, we're paying attention to creatine again.
Like your performance or your hypertrophy or your recovery?
What specifically?
You've chronicled this pretty well on your social media.
You've got videos of you deadlifting, like you're really embracing this.
Yes, yes.
Awesome.
Does the type of meat matter?
Does fish versus beef versus chicken?
I would imagine there are differences.
And do you have a sense of if you eat a 12 ounce steak, how many grams of creatine would you get in there?
