It brings major benefits. When used in conjunction with resistance training, creatine can help increase muscle strength and mass and enhance overall athletic performance. Here\u2019s how this popular supplement can help you get ripped.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><strong>Related Reading<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/fitness\/creatine-vs-protein.html\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">CREATINE VS.

POWER UP YOUR PERFORMANCE<\/h3><div class=\"r-paragraph\">If you want to run faster, jump higher or bench heavier loads, creatine can be your best bud. Creatine is a substance made up of three amino acids\u2014methionine, arginine and glycine. You\u2019ve probably heard that it helps boost athletic performance\u2014but how? It comes down to three letters: A, T, P. Creatine helps muscles make and circulate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a compound that releases energy used for muscle contractions, especially during quick and intense anaerobic activities like weightlifting, sprinting or resistance training. ATP fuels your muscles, but only in extremely short bursts. That\u2019s where creatine brings its game. Because it supports ATP production and circulation, adequate muscle creatine supports these blasts of ATP-fueled energy.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><a href=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/muscle-builders\/creatine\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15563\" src=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-61.png\" alt=\"creatine supplements\" width=\"779\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-61.png 779w, https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-61-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-61-768x324.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div id=\"content-main\" class=\"r-article\"><div class=\"r-columns\"><div class=\"r-column r-fullwidth\"><h3>2. BOOST YOUR GAINS<\/h3><div class=\"r-paragraph\">The muscle energy production and performance benefits creatine provides can mean major gains for your muscles. Studies show that supplementing with creatine while on a resistance training regimen helps athletes pack on serious mass, as it plays an important role in muscle protein synthesis, particularly in myofibrils (the fibers comprising your muscles). Pairing creatine with carbs may also help your muscles absorb it better. You can try both techniques for superior results.<\/div><h3>3. CRANK UP CAPACITY<\/h3><div class=\"r-paragraph\">Some studies show supplementing with creatine may help boost your exercise capacity during a grueling workout\u2014especially in the heat\u2014by helping your cells retain water. Staying hydrated helps you stave off muscle cramps and fatigue, so you can power through those extra sets with intensity. While this is a benefit to taking creatine, you should still be drinking as much water and electrolyte-fortified sports drinks as needed to keep up with the demands of your lifting regimen. Reminder: you need at least eight cups a day\u2014but the more you\u2019re sweating, the more you should be consuming.<\/div><div class=\"r-paragraph\">For a host of performance benefits, make sure you\u2019re taking creatine effectively. Gradually get your muscles to optimal levels by dosing at least three grams daily, for at least four weeks. You should get the same benefits regardless of what time of day you take it\u2014as long as you keep up with the dosing regimen and stay consistent in the time of day you sup.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creatine is one of the most well established workout supplements, for good reason.
