dietary supplements (NB, Obviously)

[Wiggo]

Anyone had any experience of Creatine Monohydrate and Glutamine? Does this stuff work, and how hard do you have to train?

Never used it myself, but have studied stuff like this as used to sell nutritional products. Recent tests have proven faster speed to optimum body efficiency - i.e. running, cycling - getting to peak performance faster than without the stuff and other tests have proven, or at least strongly indicated a steady improvement in LBM (body mass, or bulking up). I only have a little knowledge of supplements because of past business so take some advice from local health club instructor first... perhaps. Roy

Hi.

I have used and read about Creatine before when weight training over the years... from what I remember. Creatine is a concentrated form of a chemical found in red meat. It pushes water into your muscles and is designed to make u bigger and reduce the build up of lactic acid whilst training therefore allowing you to train longer and harder. I also recall reading that it is quite hard for the body to break it down and if you do not use it as part of a training diet (i.e no boozing as well) it can be quite hard on the kidneys.

I am no expert so doing a search on google is probably ur best bet.

Cheers
Nick
