Welcome back to another edition of Fitness Friday ladies and (wheat) germs, where you carefully avert your eyes from this weekly nutritional column because you know you've been a bad boy outside the gym.
And if you're thinking "Gee, I've been logging serious hours at my local Bally's, I know he's not talking about me," well then you're right.
I'm talking about people who are serious about transforming their bodies.
If your workout regimen consists of shiny chrome dumbbells and a Yoga mat that folds up like a flag in the color guard, you should probably take your spandex leotard and move along to the next post.
However, for those animals that punish themselves daily inside a musty tomb littered with iron plates and the smell of broken spirits, this sale's for you.
Feel It! Nutrition is now offering ANY AND ALL CREATINE PRODUCTS ON SALE FOR 15% OFF!
As most of you know, creatine can rightly lay claim to being one of the most popular and arguably most effective supplements around. The beauty of creatine is that it is 100% natural and occurs in many foods, so it's unlikely to be banned from any sports or competitions.
That's a major factor in today's high performance athlete.
Creatine is produced naturally in our bodies to help supply energy to the muscles. It's produced in the liver, pancreas and kidneys before being transported in the blood to our muscles. It is then converted into phosphor-creatine which is a powerful metabolite used to regenerate the muscles' ATP source of energy.
From a fighter’s perspective, creatine can significantly increase lean muscle mass quickly, improve performance in high intensity exercise, raise energy levels and speed up recovery rates. Creatine's ability to raise energy in muscles is due to its muscle protein synthesizing action whilst reducing the breakdown of protein.
This happens because creatine has the effect of super-hydrating muscle cells with water. It also improves muscle growth adding size and strength to muscle fibers.
Whether you're training for a fight or fitness event, or even if you're just trying to get cock-diesel for the summer, creatine is a must-have supplement for any fitness regimen.
Creatine is normally taken in two ways. The first involves loading the muscles with 20 to 30 grams per day for four to seven days. At the end of this phase maintenance involves a regular intake of 5 to 15 grams per day.
The other method is more gradual in that it skips out the loading phase and simply involves supplementing with 5 to 15 grams per day for an extended period. Two questions remain to be answered - does it work and is it safe?
Creatine has undoubtedly been proven effective in recent years - over twenty scientific studies have concluded that creatine can increase energy levels and result in enhanced strength, endurance levels and recovery rates.
As a training aid it therefore has many merits. In terms of safety, no study to date has shown creatine to be anything other than safe, provided manufacturers' instructions are followed.
