Nana's Sweet Shop
Fantastic place. This ice cream parlor has more personality than any other in town combined. This place is HUGE inside. It's right by NextLevel and right across the street from the park and the DOG PARK!

The ice cream is made in Fredericksburg and they have sooooo many flavors. The staff is super freindly, inviting, and helpful. Of course you can also sample the flavors to try before you commit. AND you can add all kinds of toppings.
I got a bowl with 3 scoops, coffee. Cookie monster, and peanut butter Baileys irish cream. Then i topped it off with crished Butterfingers, chopped nuts, white cholocolate chips, and marshmallows.

I'll definitely be going back. Best place in town to get icecream.

💪 What creatine actually does
Creatine helps your body produce more ATP (energy) during short, explosive efforts like heavy lifts or sprints.
That’s why it’s one of the most effective supplements for strength and power output.
📈 Proven benefits
Increases max strength and reps (especially in the 1–10 rep range)
Helps with muscle size by increasing water content in muscle cells (cell volumization)
Can improve recovery between sets
Some evidence suggests cognitive benefits (focus, mental fatigue resistance)
🧪 Most effective form
Creatine Monohydrate is the gold standard
It’s the most researched, cheapest, and just as effective (or better) than fancy versions like HCL or buffered creatine
⚖️ Dosage
Standard: 3–5g daily, every day
Optional loading phase: 20g/day (split doses) for 5–7 days, then 3–5g daily
You don’t need to load—it just saturates muscles faster
💧 Water weight (important)
Expect 2–5 lbs of weight gain from increased water in muscles
This is intramuscular, not bloating under the skin
🕒 Timing
Timing doesn’t matter much—just take it consistently daily
Many people take it post-workout out of habit
🚫 Myths (cleared up)
Doesn’t damage kidneys in healthy individuals
Doesn’t cause hair loss (evidence is weak and indirect)
Not a steroid
You don’t need to “cycle” it
🥩 Natural sources
Found in red meat and fish—but you’d need a lot (like pounds per day) to match supplementation levels
⚠️ Who should be cautious
People with pre-existing kidney issues should check with a doctor first

Another stud! Josephina Llanas competed at the ladies THSWPA State Championships and finished 8th in the entire state in the Raw division.
Josie will be soon competing in the USAPL High School National Championships!!
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Earning the opportunity to go to the state Championships in High school is in itself a MASSIVE accomplishment and I actually consider it more honorable than going to any other platform of competition in the country. It's the most competitive level of competition in the USA for high school lifters.
Josie we are honored that you have chosen to train at our gym. Thank you!
