I just want to double check to make sure that taking suppliments sold at GNC stores, creatine for example, would not in any way affect a drug test when applying with a PD? I'm a tall, fairly lean guy (6'4'' 185 lbs) and I'm wanting to be somewhat intimidating when chasing down serious criminal suspects. In order to do that I need to gain some muscle/weight to get up to around 210-215 lbs. But I certainly don't want to jeopardize anything by failing the medical exam.
Any advice on this topic is greatly appreciated guys.

You don't NEED to get to 215 pounds to intimidate people. I'd be careful taking a bunch of different supplements. Just eat good food and work out if you want to gain muscle. I've never heard of creatine causing a failed drug test, but you never know.

Creatine will have no effect on a drug test.

You will be fine as long as there are no other "supplements" that are not over-the-counter.
...and I found about 205 or so to be intimidating enough. :DWe bring evil things to evil people, kicking in a door near you!

BIG believes it to be the accompanying multitude of firearms & not necessarily the size, to be a big factor in intimidation as well.

You're probably right, big. And, for those times when I have the gun concealed, it may be the moniacle grin.

For it displays to the target audience, who are damned good at reading people, our "willingness" to resort to violence, if need be & if our directions aren't followed. Originally Posted by Switchback
