You want about 10 grams of creatine. Now,
this is optional because it really depends on what a type of athlete you are. If you're a
bodybuilder, a weightlifter, power lifter or even a boxer for example - somebody
who needs to do something really quickly, and fast speed - creatine is great and it's one of the most researched supplements
today with positive and effective results because what creatine does it helps to regenerate quick energy,. Like power,
explosion, short bursts of energy. So when we look at energy -
when we look at energy, there's
3 types of energy, we have ATP phosphatidyl creatine energy system which lasts about 10 seconds.
Then you have the anaerobic glycolysis and
glycolysis
which is burning sugar without any oxygen, which can last anywhere from
30 seconds to a minute at the most -maybe depending on how well-trained an athlete you are and a third is aerobic
glycolysis. And which can last up to
4 hours.
Aerobic just means exercise with oxygen so when you're running a marathon and you're over here, you're just
using fat and carbs
for an extended period of time. So
creatine does absolutely nothing for you. In addition to when you're holding your breath for less than 10 seconds like a
40-yard sprint, it's not going to do much for you, either but if you're over here
in the weightlifting arena or boxing for example, where you have around 10 seconds like for example how
long does it take you to do like a set of weights?
8 to 10 seconds, right? So if you're taking creatine you might get 6 to 8 reps.
Maybe 2 reps more..
With those extra 2 reps, puts your muscles under more stress so but then
you have to eat to be able to make that muscle bigger so it's a process it's a
circular process. So creatine doesn't make you bigger, it gives you the energy to perform better.
Remember how i talked about ATP? Adenosine triphosphate.
Adenosine triphosphate gets broken down and it gives away a phosphate and this phosphate is what we use for energy.
So now that adenosine triphosphate has now become a adenosine diphosphate so this molecule
gets recycled,
what they call a krebs cycle to get rephosphorylated or to have energy, again.
So what creatine monohydrate does is when it gets inside the cell,
it becomes creating phosphate and then it donates a phosphate to ADP,
Adenosine diphosphate making an ATP, again, so you
have that recycled energy or that rep, or that push or that sprint so it repeats itself. Creatine
is great if you're doing something that lasts for about 10 seconds like a weight training session. You
rest and then you perform it again and so on. This is very useful.
Highly recommend.
If you're a marathon runner or a cyclist, creatine will - when it gets inside your cells, it just pulls in more water.
And i see people gain about 10 to 15 pounds of water on creatine and i've seen
cyclists pay up to $5,000 for a bicycle,
that's about, maybe 10 ounces lighter. So, why would you put in 14 pounds of water and pay
$5,000 for a bike that's lighter it doesn't make no sense. Creatine doesn't work
well for triathletes or marathon runners or cyclists unless you're, maybe offseason, and would like to build up muscles for power and strength.
And i'll also talk about high-intensity exercise
tends to break down muscle tissue in a minute.
Recap after workout take
about 70 grams carbohydrates, 20 grams amount of protein from hydrolyzed whey protein or isolate protein,
20 grams of branched chain amino acids, 1,000 milligrams of
vitamin C, vitamin E.
Creatine, optional - if you want to build more muscle mass and if your endurance athlete, do away with it. So it's kind of like
when you get home from a long trip, your car is on empty and you want to fill the tank up so you can
go the time. That's a post-workout and again Max Muscle's A.R.M. -
has all of this included so that's why i really encourage you to have this in your regime. Works really
well, tastes really good too. I've had customers that ran marathons, cross-fitters completing a recent competition,
clients that just did a Spartan Race or something and they usually
can't move for about a week and i had them do this,
or, what i just suggested and about 2 to 3 days later they're
like, 'i'm ready to do another one' but i don't recommend you to do another one but
It's that effective so you get my drift and worst case scenario - if you had nothing else even if you had about
70 grams of sugar from any beverage other than high fructose corn syrup, it would raise your sugar levels and
go right back into your muscle cells to replenish it as well. It's why recently you've seen companies like
chocolate milk trending as a decent post-workout or even people saying on Instagram or saying you know, eat gummy bears or rice,
even soda drinks - which i don't know..
But listen, i'm just trying to teach better practices there's always good, better, best
practices and it's just getting you into a smarter habit on
what can speed recovery the best and doing
any of these is much better than doing anything at all. If the workouts aren't that intense,
let's just say you went out for a
casual hike maybe about a 30-minute jog around your neighborhood -
again it's about good, smarter, smartest practices. A simple solution
would be just to take a good protein supplement, again, preferably an isolate protein for example
with a little bit of carbohydrates so that it goes right back into the muscle cells
for recovery. About 30 minutes later, have a normal healthy meal and go about the rest of your day.
Our new
delicious Max Gourmet Elite protein, would do just fine and you can
also use it as a great meal replacement. It's pretty versatile stuff. Oh, did i mention
we use real Oreo Cookies for that so it's really good. Best tasting meal replacement, ever!
