Seeing posts this morning claiming midlife adults put on a couple pounds of lean mass in 12 weeks on 3-5g of creatine a day, even without training. People are pitching it as a no-gym anti-aging hack now. The counterargument: creatine pulls water into muscle, so the scale and DEXA show "lean mass" that isn't real new muscle. Does creatine actually build muscle on its own, or is it just water weight?
