Regular Sugar Builds Muscle Like Creatine
Posted by admin on September 13, 2008
According to a study from the Journal Strength Conditioning Research, published in a recent column in Muscular Development magazine, “researchers from Georgia State University in Atlanta, in a five day study, found that a high-carbohydrate supplement (250 calories per day) was as effective as creatine (25 grams per day) for sustaining jump height during repeated maximum vertical jumps (2 sets of 10 reps)”.
You know, it’s amazing how many skinny hardgainers place all of their hopes and dreams on muscle building / weight gain supplements. Now, I’m not necessarily knocking creatine, regardless of what form it comes in, but I don’t feel it’s as good at building pure muscle or strength like everyone seems to claim. Be sincere with yourself in a self assessment. Have you actually gained more muscle mass since taking creatine? Are you sure it’s lean muscle tissue, or did you just also increase your calories? So how do you know it’s not the extra calories that are helping you build more muscle mass, and that you simply aren’t just wasting your money on creatine?
