Con Crete Creatine Supplement

In today's fast paced environment, we all have more to do than we can possibly get done in any given day.  This forces us to find ways to be more efficient in order to be more productive.  When it comes to personal fitness, supplementing in a healthy manner to increase the effectiveness of our workouts can make a huge difference in our results.

One such supplement, Con Crete creatine is one of the best on the market.  This is the first creatine available that requires no loading.  This simply means that it begins working from day one without loading a large amount into your system.  Additionally, you get the same benefits in a capsule form that you get from the powder, without the nasty taste.  Following are a few things to consider when using this supplement.

Creatine causes your body to retain water and uses this water for transport into your muscles. If you don't consume additional quantities of water daily, your muscles will rob other parts of your body to get this water. This can be a very dangerous situation, especially since your kidney's are the first organ to give up this water.  If you begin to feel pain in your lower back after taking a creatine supplement, heed the warning!  Cut back the creatine and increase your water intake.  I weigh 220 pounds and drink at minimum one gallon of water per day.

Caffeine pulls water out of your muscles requiring additional intake of H2O to compensate.  I keep my caffeine consumption to a maximum of one glass per day but usually none.

When I first started supplementing with creatine, I didn't realize my protein powder contained creatine as well.  I was taking in 3x my recommended allowance daily!  I had to eliminate the Con Crete from my plan until the powder was used up.  Then I bought a protein powder without the additional creatine.

While using Con Crete, my bench immediately went up by 15 pounds.  Though this allows you to punish your muscles more causing more growth, you must be careful that you maintain proper form or you could end up with a nasty injury.
