Why cant you lose belly fat through weight training?
Weight training tones and builds muscle. It is not a calorie-burning exercise. Although abdominal exercise may offer better muscle tone , and thus straighter posture and sticking your belly out less, that does not actually burn belly fat.
To lose belly fat you must burn extra calories through aerobic exercise. If you are breathing normally and still a little short of breath, and your heart rate is elevated, THAT is aerobic exercise. Some types of aerobic exercise are jogging, swimming, bicycle-riding, rowing, even using a jump-rope. To be useful, you must keep your heart rate elevated for a minimum of 20 minutes.
For Example:
When first starting out when you haven't done a particular exercise before, speed up and slow down (such as jogging 10 seconds, walking for 50 seconds) to work in gradually. For a novice, this will still result in an elevated heart rate, and will lessen the risk of injury. After several 20 minute sessions, increase slightly the amount of aerobic exercise (such as jog 20 seconds, walk 40 seconds).
If you are not sore it means you are not going to get any bigger. You are just lifting to maintain where you are now.

Steroids are not good for you.. They make you look better, but they are very unhealthy.
When a guy takes steroids, they may start devolping boobs, and it makes their penis smaller. :P. no joke.
When a girl takes steroids, they have to opposite affect, guys begin having girl features, while girls on the other hand begin to grow facial hair, and bigger bone structures, they look like incredible hulk.

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.
