If you want to gain weight, use Weight Gainer Protein, not just whey protein. Whey Protein as lots of protein and not that much carbs, while weight gainer usually has as much carbs as protein. That starts you up on a mass gaining program. You stop weight gainer when you have reach "your wanted" weight. Carbohydrates (carbs) are what your muscles need to grow. But you need to spend it by training really hard or else, it will turn in fat.
Creatine shouldn't give you cramps, usually, it helps you not getting cramped! All creatine does is to create water retention. That water stucks between the muscles' fibers and avoid the friction of the fibers against each other, so it's helping your muscles to stay cooler longer. That delays the accumulation of lactic acid in your muscles, so you can train harder, longer without being all cramped up.
So creatine, weight gainer and a good mass developing program should do the job.

Well I was drinking 1 cup of water with the creatine, 3 during the workout, and 1 after so I don't know if that was it. Arn't there tons of negative side effects? I'm not worried about liver damage since that's if you dont hydrate.
What weight gainer would you recommend. Any side effects and what does it do exactly?
a good mass developing program idk about. this is the little routine I put together to work on overall strength (Keep in mind I have a rather weak upper body)
- 4x10 Bench 90 or 95 im not sure what my bar weighs so its one of those 2 (not maxed out)
- 4x10 curls 40ish (I do these really fast since the weight is miniscule) again idk the weight
- 3x10 reverse curls same weight
- 2 times the forearm thing with the cut sticks an a weight tied on. 10lbs
- 10 mins on the bike straightaway upping the resistance everytime I hit 2 miles
- either 10 up and down the stairs or 8-10 min run on the treadmill to cool down
I'll be going to the gym this summer once I get my license. I think we're getting a new bench thing or w.e. theyre called for my house with a leg press on it so I'm looking forward to that
oh and im reaaaaaaaaally lazy too so I have to overcome that
