Im taking 10g of Creatine a day with Carbs and Taurine, how much weight will I gain and how fast?

Question

I play football, and workout 3 times a day.

Answer 1

First of all you won't gain weight by taken creatine. Creatine is a supplement to you lift heavier loads and to increase muscle by puting more water in them. And working out 3 times a day is just going to shrink your muscle because their taking to much stress. You only need to workout one muscle group once per week to get the best results. To do this you need to put your muscles in muscular failure. And a 5-7 rep set a good. So the load must be easy enough to get 5 reps but can't complete 7 reps. Now doing this and getting a good nutrion diet will get you about 10 pounds in 8 weeks.

Answer 2

creatine has no effect on weight gain. what it does is allow the body to increase ATP stores. ATP is the cellular energy source that is used to supply energy for muscular contractions. so by increasing ATP stores you can perform more reps and in essence become stronger with the proper training regimen. by becoming stronger you can now put a greater load on your target muscles which cause them to breakdown (microtrauma).

now for the important part.

if you have a caloric excess in your diet your muscles will be able to rebuild themselves with a greater cross-sectional area (one form of hypertrophy). this is a very basic explanation of how the body adapts to resistance training.

creatine is only a part of the puzzle, it's no miracle supplement...
