Has no influence on the size of your testicles whatsoever.
While thats true, its not the point.
coz creatine gives me the energy to lift more and creatine monohydrate is the most effective kind out there
- Creatine does not increase energy to lift at all.
- Your body uses ATP to power muscle contraction, but cannot store it. Your body can store creatine in the muscle, eg creatine deposits. When you break down atp into adp, creatine is quickly broken down into creatinine in order to offer energy to regenerate adp into atp.
While doing that, the body will start to rapidly break down muscular glycogene, to regenerate your creatine.
- the fuller your creatine deposits are , the more buffering space you got waiting for glycogenisis and glycolisis and terminal fosforylation to give you the energy to regenerate creatine.
- however, as you contract muscles, as you break down atp and creatine, the pH drops through all the free H30+ ions. L-carnitine buffers these for a while, but not too long. Because of this, unless you are an awesome endurance athlete or bodybuilder who is conditionned to work more efficient, or big strenghtsporter who'll burn so much creatine before the acidity comes into mind, creatine isnt that much a factor for a normal human beeing. see below why
- a vegan has its creatine deposits filled for around 20-30% they can supplement it.
- occasional meat eaters and other normal humans are between 50-70% depending on genetics
- a person eating red meat often, will permantly have his creatine deposits maxed out.
Conclusion, like the former olympia bodybuilder AND former powerlifting world record holder Stan Efferding said brutally honest : If you are serious, you dont eat creatine, but you grill some steaks.
- 5 grams of creatine monohydrate is equal to 2.3grams of buffered creatine, or all ethyl variants. Monohydrate is by far the cheapest, but also by far the least effective kind out there.
Eating
lean red meat 2+ times per week, will completely take away the need for all that fancy fuckshit supplementation
You need :
- eat enough protein(2.5g/kg bodyweight, only protein from meat and whey counts), daily meat, and 2+ times lean red meat
- eat mostly slow protein for optimal glycemic response
- watch your fat intake, and get your fats mostly from nuts and diary products (cottage cheese preferably)
- supplement vitamine D. oil base, not hard pills
- eat 1-2 citrus fruits per day
- use cafeine to give you "energy" to train
- use a post workout shake with whey and
maltodextrine if you need to gain weight or improve recovery
