I have done my research, understand how creatine works and the unknown long term side effects. I've done protein shakes and have seen little results. But will creatine help me get what I want, a more toned, male model type body? Like some say, does it make you face look thicker, fatter?

Throughout highschool I played football (QB, TE, OT) and weighed a maximum of 205 lbs, 6'01. I've been around people who have been taking creatine and never was able to (my parents wouldnt let me). Since then, I managed to dislocate my shoulder and stop working out (golf is my primary sport and have never been able to get too buff) and my strength has dropped. I am now 19, a freshman in college and want to tone up and become more solid. I have currently been dieting (about 2months) and working out 4-5 times a week. But I think the dieting isn't allowing me the nutrients to work out to my full potential and build muscle. I am big boned, have broad shoulders and I’m currently 6'01, 175 lbs. My body fat % is estimated at 12-13%, and while I consider my body fit, I am an overachiever and would love to get that under 5%. If I continued eating healthy, continued working out, would creatine use increase muscle mass, burn fat, and give me a more lean fit body (I don't really want to gain a lot of weight, but if its muscle and looks good I’m down for it). I specifically want to target PECS, ABS, and back.

My current diet is around 1000-1250 calories a day.

My current workout routine is:
Day 1: Pecs and Triceps: Flat Bench Press (5x5 and 20,18,16), Incline Dumbbell Press (20,18,16), Decline Bench (20,18,16), Flyers (12,10,8), Pushups (3x20), (sometimes ill substitute Cable Crossovers and Hammer Strength Incline), Sit-ups and Abdominal Workout. Cardio (Bike 20mins, Run 10 mins)

Day 2: Biceps, Forearms, Shoulders: Dumbbell Curls (12,10,8), Full Bar Curls (20,18,16), Shoulders- Lift Dumbbells over Head and extend toward ceiling (12,10,8), (ill add in machine curls, and hammer strength for shoulders), Cardio (Bike 20 mins, Run 10 mins).

Day 3: Cardio (Bike 20 mins, Run 10 mins)

Thanks for any help you can give me, I don’t know who else to ask.

good lord, are you really only eating 1000-1250 calories A DAY?? that seems way too low. your BMR is 1954 at your current height/weight/age!

I agree with CGil: You are eating WAY too little in a day. I'm surprised you're not too exhausted to fit in a workout.

Second; you're lifting needs to be re-organized to attain maximum results. Try this:
Monday: Bench Press, Pullups, Standing Overhead Press, Bentover Rows, Dips, Bicep Curls.
Tuesday: Squats, Lunges, Calf Raises, Stiff Legged Dead Lifts
Wednesday: Core strength
Thursday: Pullups, Incline Bench Press, Upright Rows, Standing Overhead Press, Bicep Curls, Dips.
Friday: Deadlift, Romanian Split Squat, Leg Press

Add 20 minutes of HIIT and you'll be all set.

As for creatine, you need to focus eating a MUCH more balanced diet. You need more than double, if not triple the amount of calories you are currently eating. Get these calories from lean, high quality proteins, complex carbs, fruits and vegetables and drink LOTS of water.

Proper nutrition is far more essential than creatine. Focus on a well rounded, balanced weight training/cardio regime coupled with a solid diet and you'll begin to see the results you're searching for.

well he does need to bring that up or he will loose the wrong kind of weight. more around 1600-1800 (for cutting). and you will not gain muscle mass while cutting, then when you go back to bulking it's going to be around 3000 a day. o and by the way every one seems to think that a toned body has something to do with your muscle when in fact it's whats happening to your fat, well have a nice day

great advice. get things in order and you may find you have no need to even use creatine.

I agree. Food is, after all, the number one supplement...and it's also the one thing you are lacking in. Start eating. If more advice is wanted post your specs, I and the others will be glad to further on this topic.
