The Best Body Building/weight Loss Supplements - Athlete's
By Chad Klingensmith, Thu Dec 8th
Creatine has become mainstream back in 90's and now it'sevolving to even a more potent supplement. It can help you gainlean muscle mass and indirectly help you lose body fat. Here aresome commons questions and answers about creatine. *Exactlywhat is creatine anyway? Creatine is a compound that occursnaturally in the human body or taken as a dietary supplement.The scientific term for Creatine is methyl guanidine-aceticacid. Creatine is composed of three amino acids - Glycine,Methionine, and Arginine. The human liver has the ability tocombine these three amino acids and produce creatine. The otherway we get creatine is from our diet/supplements. *How doescreatine help with exercise? Human muscles use ATP (adenosinetri-phosphate) for anaerobic exercise (short burst exercisessuch as weight training). During anaerobic exercise ATP isbroken down into two simpler chemicals inorganic phosphate andADP (adenosine di-phosphate). This process of ATP breaking downinto ADP releases the energy which gives your muscles theability to contract. ATP stores only remain adequate for 10-15seconds of maximum exertion however. After the ATP stores areexhausted the muscle will no longer be able to perform atmaximum exertion. Taking creatine supplements can create morefuel for the body through the following process. Most of thecreatine stored in the skeletal muscle bonds with phosphorus(also stored in the muscles) which becomes creatine phosphate.Creatine phosphate then bonds to excess ADP stores (which wouldbe otherwise useless) which creates ATP energy stores. Hencetaking creatine will create more fuel for your muscles! *Iscreatine a prohormone/steroid? No. Creatine will not alter withyour testosterone/estrogen levels the way prohormones can. *What Creatine Ethyl Ester HCI? Creatine Ethyl Ester HCl is anexceptionally soluble creatine resulting in advanced absorption,increased bioavailability, and stability. Creatine ethyl esterdirectly penetrates the muscle cell resulting in 30 to 40 timesmore functional creatine. *Chad's Testimony I am a mixedmartial arts competitor (ultimate fighter) getting ready for mydebut fight in November. To aid with my training regimen I havebeen supplementing Creatine Ethyl Ester. My goal was to pack onsome lean muscle mass to increase my metabolism and at the sametime become stronger and more powerful. In late July I weighedin at 175 lbs and my bodyfat was measured at 9.5%. I then spentthe next six weeks concentrating to a serious weight resistanceregimen and began taking Creatine Ethyl Ester before and aftermy weight training. I immediately felt
the effects of thissupplement as I was able to complete more repetitions and liftheavier weight in the gym. Every week I became stronger as Istarted lifting heavier weight than ever before. I noticedincreased muscle mass all over my body, especially in my legs.After six weeks of intense weight training I decided to takeanother bodyfat test. I physically felt much bigger and was alittle hesitant to hear what my bodyfat % was. However I waspleasantly surprised! I weighed in at 178 lbs. My body fat hadactually dropped to 6.3%. The trainer explained that I lost 5lbsof body fat and gained an incredible 8lbs of muscle. He latercommented to me "I don't need to write you a program....becausewhatever your doing....its definitely working." As it turns outmy metabolism increased dramatically through weight training. Mymuscle gains were due to a combination of a solid weightresistance program, plenty of rest, proper dieting and the useof the right bodybuilding supplements. Creatine Ethyl Ester gaveme an extra push to help me realize my optimal lean muscle gains. For anybody looking to lose fat and gain muscle I wouldrecommend focusing on a weight program (cardio is also importantbut often over emphasized). There is no substitute for hard workin the gym, proper dieting and plenty of rest (this last one isa common problem among hard gainers). If you are trainingvigorously I would recommend taking supplements for optimalperformance. Make sure you research the supplements you aretaking and try to find the best price possible. So far the bestbodybuildingsupplements / weight loss products store I've seen iswww.discountanabolics.com and they offer inexpensive prices for. I found them to be much less expensive than GNC andtheir customer service is excellent. They also had quick productdelivery; it only took a couple days for my order to show up onmy doorstep. If you are interested in bodybuilding supplements/ weight loss products I would highly recommend check themout.
