Creatine Without The Jargon

By Russ Howe Pti


If you are a little unsure about what to expect from using a creatine supplement don't worry, you aren't alone. Not by a long shot. Despite being the most purchased muscle building supplement of the last twenty years, as a trainer I meet gym users every day who don't know what this supplement is actually supposed to do for their muscle growth progress.

When it comes to supplements the majority of us are sold by hype. Big claims about piling on slabs of rock hard lean muscle way easier than we could even dream about, right? That's why the supplement market is a billion dollar industry. This often leads us to buy products which we don't really know enough about.

When we get down to it, this is a very simple supplement to understand.


Enjoy today\'s video, in which Fitness Instructor Russ Howe PTI gives a complete jargon free walkthrough on how creatine works.



Make no mistake here, this is a naturally occurring substance not a scientific monster. Your body generates this substance already, it's responsible for your explosive strength. So dismiss any worries you may have about illegal or steroid-like effects.

So what does it actually do to you and why should you use it?

This is the point where most of us get a little bit lost. Companies will often try to over complicate matters with needless science in a bid to confuse you into thinking you must buy their miracle product over anybody else's. None of that talk here please.

The next time you go for a run I want you to sprint as hard as you can and watch, or father feel, what happens in your legs. For the first 15 seconds you'll be at full speed but then suddenly a burning sensation will hit your legs and your body will literally force you to slow down. That burn is called Lactic Acid and is your body's way of telling you to stop.

Your body's natural resources of this supplement have ran out. You will be able to carry on running, albeit at a greatly reduced speed, while it builds back up in the background. After a few minutes you will probably be able to blast out another high intensity sprint when your levels of explosive strength have regenerated.

By taking this supplement you are able to increase your levels of explosive strength.

A better example would be in the form of a boxer. How many fights have you watched where one competitor appears to have run out of gas only to suddenly get another burst of energy, often referred to as a second wind, and win the fight?

Now you know what's going on underneath the surface it's time to take that example and put it into a gym setting. By having more of this product inside your body than the base levels provided by your muscles, you'll notice that you can push slightly harder for slightly longer.

Whether it's a heavier bench press or forcing out another rep on your weakest exercise, you will notice great gains here. Once you cut out all of the hype and sales talk, that's as simple as creatine is.
