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.
With so much confusion in the fitness industry in general, it's sometimes quite nice just to find some straightforward advice.
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.
The bottom line is all the knowledge in the world is useless if you don't know how to communicate it properly.
Every company tells you their latest product is the best to ever hit the market, we're sure you have already come across that type of thing.
Despite being on the market now for over 20 years, there is still a large cloud of doubt surrounding people's knowledge of this particular product. Many people take it without even really knowing why, so today we will show you. This isn't a steroid, it's a naturally occurring substance which is produced by your body when you do any kind of explosive movement.
Basically, these increased stores of this substance result in your ability to lift slightly heavier weights for slightly longer periods of time.
Despite all of the myths and marketing behind it over the last two decades, you've just got the explanation of what this supplement does right there. That's it.
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.
Now that you have got your head around what this supplement actually does, the last thing we want is for you to get lost when looking at different blends and wondering which one is superior. Much like rival companies, they'll all claim to be the biggest and the best for your money.
If you are basing your decision on which blend has the most clinical research to back it up then your choice is very easy. The oldest form, monohydrate, is miles ahead of any other type.
That is largely due to the fact that monohydrate has been with us for around two decades and has been the subject of far more studies and trials than any of the newer options. It's also the most cost effective blend, so it's certainly a good place to start.
If you are already an experienced gym user you may already know how to build muscle but the majority of fitness enthusiasts are not in that situation and need help, particularly in the area of supplements. Creatine is just one example of a product which is often needlessly over complicated. After reading today's article you have the solid foundation to get the most from any product of this type in the future.
