Creatine Benefits

The Benefit of Creatine - Gain Weight, Strength and Size!

You should know by now that supplementing creatine will greatly enhance your energy during workouts. The resulting benefits of creatine include:

• More energy during workouts due to ATP regeneration (see this article about Creatine)
• Enhanced strength during workouts
• Less dependence on glycolysis - reducing lactic acid (see below)
• Quick weight gain in just weeks (if you're new to creatine)

The above are the major creatine benefits. Here's why supplementing creatine can benefit your workouts.

As we discussed in this creatine information article, ATP is the main fuel for your muscle contractions, and this is achieved by the ATP releasing a phosphate and becoming an ADP. With extra creatine in your muscles, you regenerate ATP through the creatine release its phosphate which combines with the ADP to form ATP.

This ATP regeneration keeps your body from relying on glycolysis, which is process where lactic acid is built up during your workout. The benefit of this is clear: the reduced lactic acid allows you to workout longer and harder, thus maximizing every muscle's workout, and allows you to gain more muscle, strength and size. Another benefit of creatine supplements is you won't feel tired as easily during workouts.

The immediate benefits of creatine is not hype or fiction. You can gain some decent weight in a short period of time. Not considering what you read in research and articles, I can tell you from personal experience that it works, and it works great - especially if you've never cycled creatine before. The benefit of creatine is worth every penny, if you do it right.

Weight Gain Benefits of Creatine

I'm a major hard-gainer. I weighed only 98lbs in grade nine, and looked like a twig (no kidding). I'm not big now either weighing in at only around 140. Up till first year university, I had a tough time putting on more weight at around 130lbs. Then I was introduced to creatine by a friend. The first week, I gained about 3lbs, and in the first month, I gained just over 10lbs, which is modest compared to others, but for a hard-gainer, I was extremely happy.

I've discussed about creatine and creatine benefits with other bodybuilders in my gym, and from what I can see, the average weight gain in the first month of taking creatine is around 15lbs, and the highest I seen is close to 30lbs, but he was a huge guy.

The 2 types of creatine I liked the most are American Creatine and Prolab Creatine. In my experience, they're two of the best. I have to admit though, Prolab Creatine does cost a bit more than American Creatine. I didn't notice much difference between the two - they both worked exceptionally well. So it's up to you which type you use.
