CEE did nothing for me, Creapure (mono) is a different story though. I'm on a bulk putting 1lb a week on consistantly, stopped taking the Creapure last week and I've dropped 3lb.
Didn't really notice any strength gains aside the water retention, though I got quite painful calve pumps from running.
So you were putting on weight but no strength gains, then lost 3lb which is 99% going to be due to water retention?
