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.
With so much confusion in the fitness industry in general, it's sometimes quite nice just to find some straightforward advice.
One of the best things about working in the health and fitness sector is helping people to understand their body and get into the shape they want, whatever that my be. However, we all know at least one person in our lives who likes to complicate the situation and over analyze everything when it comes to supplements. They'll often lose the interest of the person they were initially trying to help in the first place as they go off on an ego trip to show their knowledge.
Because of this tendency to over complicate supplements, people get lost and have no clue where to start. It doesn't need to be like that.
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 supplement has been around for over twenty years and is a substance which your body actually produces when you need to perform big, explosive movements like sprinting or heavy lifting. The theory behind it, which has been proven since, is that by taking additional amounts of this product alongside your body's natural resources of it you will increase your ability to perform those explosive movements.
Basically, these increased stores of this substance result in your ability to lift slightly heavier weights for slightly longer periods of time.
Once the facts are broken down like that it becomes very, very easy to understand why so many athletes and bodybuilders use products containing this ingredient.
Now for the all important question. Will the product give you a more muscular physique? The answer is no, it will not. At least, it won't directly give you a more muscular physique. Think about it, all it does is increase your 'ability' to lift slightly heavier than you may do right now. You still have to actually go put the work in yourself. If you took this product and didn't exercise, you'd see no change.
When you are looking for a product to buy you can get lost in a sea of conflicting information on what particular blend is best. Most major manufacturers offer a range of different blends, with some in tablet form and others in pill form. You'll encounter blends such as monohydrate, ethyl ester and kre alkalyn.
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.
That is largely due to the fact that monohydrate has been with us for around two decades and has been the subject of far more studies and trials than any of the newer options. It's also the most cost effective blend, so it's certainly a good place to start.
So, if you want to know how to build muscle and you are looking at using a creatine supplement as a way to enhance your results in the gym, our recommendation is to start with a simple monohydrate product and take things from there. Now you know the facts on what it does, you should be able to push to the next level.
With so much confusion in the fitness industry in general, it's sometimes quite nice just to find some straightforward advice.
