  • Creatine 101

    Creatine supplrmentation works by increasing intra-muscular phosphocreatine stores. Phosphocreatine plays it's key role by recycling ADP (spent energy) and converting it back to ATP (available cellular energy). This leads to more power and longer, more intense sets.

    Increased workout intensity theoretically should lead to an increase in muscle fiber recruitment and ultimatley leave you with microtears in the myofibril and sarcomere.

    This increase in fiber recruitment, when combined with adequate/proper nutrition, will end up in increased muscle hypertrophy muscle growth).

    That said, if you are looking for cell volumization (appearance of growth), while also benefiting from creatine's ergogenic properties (outlined above), then I recommend you take CEE or other Creatine product with glycerol monostearate, citrulline malate and diarginine.

      Great topic !

      Unlike other creatine threads I've seen... if this becomes a sticky, we can keep all relevent info updated in the first post instead of scattered info throughout the thread.

      Tank,

      Do you know what the character limit is per post ?

            OK, here's one that just came up. Is it OK to take creatine mono mixed in your PWO shake? I don't know why it wouldn't be, but I'm just checking.

              yep, that's a good way to do it.

                So is creatine monohydrate the "creatine" that everyone talks about? Or is there various forms of creatine?
                PS. This is a AAA post, sorry to have to display such ignorance...

                  Yep, there are numerours forms of creatine; mono has the most research backing it at this point. No worries we all have to start learning sometime
