Ladies, hope we have moved on from the paradigm of “lifting weight will make me manly” thing. For those who are new to this reality and are taking this as a shocker, it’s NOT. I have been lifting heavy for the past six months.
Anyways, sticking to what we are here to discuss. Creatine. Ask your gym instructor or dietician on what Creatine does, and I bet the response would be it retains water in muscle and make you look bulky OR it gives you bigger muscle OR (to make it more irritating) they will say it’s a kind of Steroid. To that individual, please do this: one Spartan kick + one Chokeslam and walk away.
Basics, what is Creatine? Or even before that, what is ATP?
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate): These, simple put, are our power banks. The …show more content…
Now, there is just one drawback. The pool of PC stored in the skeleton muscle is very limited. Once all the PC molecule have donated their phosphate group to ADP, this system can no longer aid in ATP production until PC is replenished, which normally occurs during recovery.
Fill in the blanks ladies. That’s where we use Creatine. It just supplements you with more power. When Creatine monohydrate is introduced in the body, it binds to the phosphorus inside the body and exists as Creatine phosphate (or phosphocreatine). And the above cycle of ATP conversion continues.
But will you build huge muscle if you have more power? Certainly not, we are genetically not capable of being muscular because of lower testosterone count. We will just be in a better shape than ever.
Infact creatine consumption helps in building lean muscle which in turn helps in fat loss.
Bottom line, have Creatine as Pre or Post workout, increase your strength, lift more, be fitter, and add more beauty to your looks. Just make sure that there is a gap of about 2 hours between Creatine and Glutamine consumption. Both of their carrier is same, and if consumed together or at a negligible interval will not be as
