Will Creatine Supplements Help You To Build Muscle?

By Russ Howe


The worst aspect of the fitness industry is the amount of misinformation and hype surrounding the effects of certain supplements. Many people just want to know how to build muscle and never find the answer as they get lost in a world of sales hype. Today we'll look at creatine supplements and help you to know what to look for in this area.

Considering the amount of contradicting information available to fitness enthusiasts already, it is sometimes quite a refreshing experience to hear no-nonsense advice.

For some strange reason there are plenty of people in this industry who cannot explain how to use a certain product, or what that product does to your body, without going way too scientific for most people to understand. Maybe it's a self-gratification thing, we don't know, but we do know this. If your client can't follow what you're saying then it's useless information.

The bottom line is all the knowledge in the world is useless if you don't know how to communicate it properly.

How many times have you seen products which claim to give you life-changing effects? We're guessing too many times. It's time to find out what you are doing rather than continuing to get sucked in by marketing lines.

This particular product is designed to increase your body's ability to perform explosive movements. Your body generates it already, it's what you use up when you go for a short sprint or perform any heavy lifting motion. The problem is we don't have very much of it in our system at any one time, so by supplementing it you can increase these stores dramatically.

Basically, these increased stores of this substance result in your ability to lift slightly heavier weights for slightly longer periods of time.

That's the product in a nutshell. It increases your body's ability to draw on that massive, exploding power it uses for big movements.

Will it make you bigger? No. You still need to do the work. It can be like putting a more expensive kind of petrol in your car and then not driving it. It improves your ability to work harder in the gym and as a result you will get bigger and stronger, but don't be fooled into thinking that just by taking the supplement you'll get results. It needs to be coupled with your efforts in the gym.

One area where people don't expect to come unstuck is choosing which blend of this supplement to use. There is more than one type of this product and all the major companies will have a range of different options, ranging from pills, to powders, to drinks.

If scientific research is what you'd like to base your decision on, and we wholly recommend you do so, then you should stick to the basic form of this product which is pure monohydrate.

After being on the market for twenty years now, monohydrate has been the subject of a massive amount of scientific studies resulting in it's position as the number one form of this particular supplement. One of the benefits of being the original form of this type of product is that it has a much larger research base behind it and, as you can probably imagine, costs far less than more recent versions.

If you are already an experienced gym user you may already know how to build muscle but the majority of fitness enthusiasts are not in that situation and need help, particularly in the area of supplements. Creatine is just one example of a product which is often needlessly over complicated. After reading today's article you have the solid foundation to get the most from any product of this type in the future.
