Should you take a water pill with creatine?
At least 80oz a day.
AnswerI don't know what 80oz is in litres, but at least 2 litres a day and possibly more. By the time you feel thirsty, you are all ready mildly dehydrated.In the loading phase of your creatine use, you will also need to increase your water intake.
Personally, I tend to drink upwards of 3 litres a day due to creatine.
you can see the amount of water you need for creatine on its package.it is mostly said minimum 2 litrs a day.otherwise it hurts your kidney.
First of all creatine does not make you feel thirsty. Creatine is metabolized by your body to creatine phosphate. In your muscles, this molecule donates a phosphate group to the expended ATP energy molecule, known as ADP, to convert it back to ATP. (D=di T=tri).
To do this it needs lots of water, so your muscle tissues absorb water and bulk up, much like wilting plants stand up when watered. This takes water away from your vital organs, so you must drink more to compensate.
A gallon each day is about average (4 liters).
Once you stop taking creatine, you have all this water in your tissues not being used, so you should take diuretics to get rid of it! Your muscle bulk will also deflate, which is why many athletes and bodybuilders never stop until they retire.

7 8 9 52 ************* The above answer (7, 8, 9, 52) is wrong because you can not measure for example 80 kg (since 7+8+9+52=76), nor 79 kg, 78 kg and so on. Actually, using a two disc balance and four weights (1, 3, 9, and 27) , you can ONLY measure from 1 to 40 kg (increase by 1) Using a two disc balance and FIVE weights (1, 3, 9, 27 and 81) , you can measure up to 121 kg. Ifyou want to measure up to 80 kg with four weight, you should either start from a number higher than 1, or increase the numbers by 2.

What is the record for the female strict shoulder press?
Several men have performed a standing barbell shoulder press with over 500 pounds. But as of yet, no one has ever done over 525. My guess is that human capablility will never reach a 600 pound shoulder press until great breakthroughs are made in joint and ligament support and repair. That's just too much weight for human limbs to raise overhead.......
