Astonishing Muscle Growth
Starting Today
No miracles: but here’s why
creatine’s the one muscle growth supplement that does
exactly what
Dear Friend
If you’re accustomed to training until
every fibre screams in agony but find
it’s
weeks or months since you saw any appreciable
gains
in strength or muscularity,
you’re probably sick to death of being
told that these sticking points are entirely normal, and that
there’s no alternative to working ever harder until your
body somehow miraculously trains its way through the problem.
This is really a classic “Catch
22”. The stronger you get, the more intensively you
need to train to maintain your progress. But this in turn
makes ever greater demands on your muscles’ limited energy
reserves and powers of recovery. So the less frequently
you’re able to train.
This can be an intensely frustrating time.
Your progress has inevitably slowed, yet if you try to force the
pace beyond your body’s recovery ability you risk ceasing to
develop altogether, and may even find yourself getting weaker.
This invisible yet formidable training barrier has been well
known to strength and power event athletes ever since intensive
progressive resistance training became the norm.
the
idea that “more is better” simply doesn’t work.
And of course they have searched continually
for any muscle growth supplement that might help them get over
it, even turning in their desperation to the illegal and highly
dangerous, but often extremely effective anabolic steroids.
But if you have respect for your body and for that matter your
sport you’re not going to want to risk any illegal or
harmful muscle growth stimulant. All you ask is a fair
return for your efforts, a way to have your body’s chemistry
so finely tuned that
you’ll
derive maximum benefit for the work and pain
you’re
prepared to inflict upon yourself.
So no doubt you already pay great attention
to every detail of your dietary regime and vitamin and mineral
supplementation. But essential as these are; they’re
not enough in themselves.
What you need is something that works
directly with your muscles to stimulate their growth. The
isolation of creatine, a substance that seemed to have precisely
these effects, therefore produced enormous excitement. Even
now science’s understanding of its operations remains to
some extent in its infancy, but it’s clear that
creatine’s value lies in its relationship with another
compound in your body called adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP), which
is the vital source of energy your muscles need when engaged in
an intensive, quick burst activity such as lifting weights or
sprinting.
Stored creatine produces energy like a turbocharger for your muscles
The problem is that in most people supplies of ATP are exhausted within 10-15 seconds and replaced by the useless by-product, adenosine-bi-phosphate (ADP). But amazingly enough this ADP can be converted back into ATP by the creatine stored in your muscles – releasing vital extra energy supplies during exercise.
More energy in your
muscles means you should be able to achieve more quality reps of
an exercise before hitting muscular failure, and intensive
workouts like this will drive your body to ever deeper levels of
exhaustion.
But………
……..the
rapid growth with which your muscles respond will thrill
you….
….always provided you allow them sufficient time for recovery.
And this is where the
second dramatic effect of creatine kicks in – by assisting
in the vital process of protein synthesis by which your muscles
repair the damage done by your workouts. And as you
probably know, the founding principle of progressive resistance
strength training is that the body ever so slightly
over-compensates for the damage done…
……..so
you get stronger with each and every workout
The good news is that creatine is produced
naturally in the liver by the synthesis of three essential amino
acids – arginine, methionine and glycine. And around
95 - 98% of your body’s supply is stored in the muscles
– typically in a concentration of around 3.5 - 4 grams per
kilogram of bodyweight. The bad news is that this may not
be enough if you’re engaged in an intensive training program
aimed at significant muscle growth.
Remember too that your body’s demands
are not static. As you get stronger and train ever
harder to maintain your growth rate your muscles are going to
demand more and more creatine. If your body’s natural
production keeps up with this extra demand well and good, but if
not you run the risk of seriously setting back your training
progress.
a
crucial and completely unnecessary advantage
Unnecessary, because it’s now quite
clear that supplementing the amount of creatine stored in your
muscles can dramatically enhance the effects produced by your
body’s own supply. Crucial, because as creatine
improves the efficiency and speed of your body’s repairs,
you’re going to need less time between workouts.
Longer, tougher workouts with less rest
between in might sound like a masochistic regime, and certainly
this is no easy option. But the rewards are more than worth
the effort, as is amply demonstrated by the fact that creatine is
the biggest selling muscle growth supplement of all time.
as
long ago as 1988 more than $200 million
worth
of creatine products were sold.
Now it’s only fair to point out that
some of the marketing behind this amazing figure has been
ethically dubious to put it politely. It has to be stated
that creatine is definitely not some miracle formula for
superhuman strength. You’re not going to be able to
pop a pill and sit back on the couch with a pizza while your body
quickly and painlessly transforms itself into that of an elite
strength athlete.
Secondly, creatine seems only to be really
effective for those kinds of physical activity which demand
muscle bulk, strength and explosive power. The benefits
have proved much harder to assess in the case of endurance events
such as long distance running, swimming cycling or triathlon,
although there is some evidence that
creatine
may help in slowing down or reducing the build up of lactic acid
the substance that causes that
characteristic and painful burning sensation as your muscles
fatigue during exercise.
Remember, too, that creatine occurs
naturally within the body, and as with other such substances the
amounts vary from individual to individual. So understand
that if you’re one of those who naturally produce high
levels, further supplementation may produce little or no benefit.
But if your body produces only moderate to low amounts….
…..a
good quality creatine supplement will produce dramatic muscular
growth
The only real way to tell which category
your body falls into is to give it a test drive with this new
fuel supplement. A month of supplementation, combined of
course with regular tough workouts, should be enough to find out
whether creatine’s going to help you.
