Hey there, Paul from Ultimate Fat Burner.com here and today I'm asking the question "is creatine worth it?"
Funny enough, it may be, or may not be, depending on a number of factors. Wondering what the heck I'm talking about? Well then you need to stick around, because I'll be right back with the details in just few seconds. Please... don't go anywhere.
Hey there! Welcome back. Thanks for sticking around!
Ok, let's get right to the question... is creatine worth it?
Well, in some cases it is, and some cases it isn't. Let me explain...
Creatine is worth it if you're using it for anaerobic activities such as strength training, power lifting, bodybuilding etc.
Creatine is not worth it if you're taking it to improve the performance of mainly aerobic activities like jogging,
running, boxing, basketball, hockey, etc. Creatine supplementation impacts anaerobic energy creation only, so taking it for the purposes I just mentioned is a waste of money.
Creatine is worth it if you use creatine monohydrate, which is the version of creatine found safe and effective
in the vast amount of clinical studies. It's not worth it if you experiment with versions of creatine that
either have not been proven effective, or, like buffered creatine for example, have been proven to be less
effective than creatine monohydrate.
Creatine is worth it if your workouts are intense and you push to the very last rep. It
is not worth it if you spend most of your workouts goofing off. Creatine works by providing raw material for the
anaerobc energy creation process, allowing you to do more work. Your gains on creatine come from the greater
adaptive reponse you get by performing this additional work. If you don't perform this additional work,
supplementing with creatine won't do anything for you.
Creatine is worth it if you have a good diet in place. If your diet sucks, it makes more sense to get it under
control before you waste any money on creatine, or any other supplements for that matter.
So what's the bottom line? Is creatine worth it?
If you're using creatine monohydrate - not one of the other versions available on the market - for its intended purpose - so anaerobic activities like strength training, powerlifting and bodybuilding, and your diet is in order and your training is intense and focused, well then yes... it's worth it.
On the other hand...
If your diet isn't great, your training is lackluster, or you're looking to improve to imporve the performance of aerobic activities like running, jogging, soccer or basketball, then creatine is NOT worth it.
For those of you who do want something to improve the performance of aerobic activities, check out my video
on beta alanine.
