Answer 2

Creatine is essential to muscle development and taking it as a supplement keeps the levels high in the muscle tissue. You CANNOT store creatine, only maintain a high level.

I used it for about a year whilst training at the gym. It gives your muscles the ability to perform stronger contractions for longer - allowing you to train more 'explosively'.

There is a MAJOR health risk is you plan on using creatine for an extended period for aerobic or high heart rate workouts.
Your heart is also a muscle - and with the added levels of creatine in the heart muscles it can, and has been PROVEN to lead to an enlarged heart in some cases. It is relatively safe for weight training.

Answer 3

Phosphocreatine (the phosphorylated form of Creatine) provides the means of regenerating small quantities of ATP extremely rapidly, so boosting short duration activities. Muscles are much less prone to fatigue and the capacity to undertake strenuous exercise is increased. Activities such as repetition weight training, short sprints, repeated bounding and jumping are all enhanced and therefore the quality of training increases which feeds into higher competitive performances. Studies made with middle distance athletes also seem to point to improvement.

Answer 4

It helps you build up your body mass. You do your workout and when you finish your body muscles start to relax. The creatine keeps your body muscles working that much longer after your workout has finished.
