Creatine explanation


Aodhan

Recommended Posts

so it just fills ur muscles up. doesnt increase in strength? does it have side effects - addictive etc..? do u hav to work out while ur taking it or is it possible just to take creatine?

Increase in strength is a little bit of a misnomer. What it does, is make more potential energy available to the muscles. This means that you can work out longer before your muscles become exhausted. The more work you can do, the stronger you can get with less work.

You don't have to work out while using it, but it's basically a waste if you don't. (And I include MA workouts as part of working out. It will enable you to last somewhat longer muscularly in classes. However, if your fitness sucks, that may limit you.)

And no, it's not addictive. It's classified as a food product, actually.

There are no known sude effects from using it as directed. yes it does help to increase strength. Although some people tend to benefit more from it then others. Some people may experience a big difference and some little or none. There are also several different brands of creatine. Some are said to work better than others. You should check out bodybuilding.com forums as they have a load of information about creatine.

I decided to resurrect this thread since there's probably been some people watching the more recent one I started. This might answer some questions.

If it works, use it!

If not, throw it out!
