Would You Build More Muscle With A Creatine Supplement Or Not?

By Russ Howe


You've got your gym bag ready, you know how to build muscle by hitting the weights at the gym regularly, but there is one area which still poses confusion. That area, of course, is supplements. If this is your current situation then don't worry, for you are certainly not alone. Many people go through it and today we'll be helping you to get things in order by looking at how creatine products work, what to look for and what blends work best.

Considering the amount of contradicting information available to fitness enthusiasts already, it is sometimes quite a refreshing experience to hear no-nonsense advice.
Enjoy today\'s video, in which Fitness Instructor Russ Howe PTI gives a complete jargon free walkthrough on how creatine works.


For some strange reason there are plenty of people in this industry who cannot explain how to use a certain product, or what that product does to your body, without going way too scientific for most people to understand. Maybe it's a self-gratification thing, we don't know, but we do know this. If your client can't follow what you're saying then it's useless information.

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.

So what does all that actually mean for you in the gym? Imagine being able to push out an extra rep at the end of a few of your sets, or being able to sprint for another interval on the treadmill.

That's the product in a nutshell. It increases your body's ability to draw on that massive, exploding power it uses for big movements.

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.

After being on the market for twenty years now, monohydrate has been the subject of a massive amount of scientific studies resulting in it's position as the number one form of this particular supplement. One of the benefits of being the original form of this type of product is that it has a much larger research base behind it and, as you can probably imagine, costs far less than more recent versions.

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.
