What kind of creatine? - Page 3

Explosive power doesn't come in a jar of powder. It comes from training and the proper diet (which requires as much discipline and commitment as the training).

Plyometrics is a good component. Here are a few other key ingredients to building explosive power.

Clean/ jerk

Snatch

Squat/ press

Deadlift

Super-burpees (prison style, with push-up and a high leap)

Running stadium stairs

Super-burpees

Super-burpees

Sprints

Super-burpees

Etc.

The olympic lifts, sq/prs, and burpees are KEY, and they build receptive strength as well. What good is vertical power if you can jump but you can't land solidly and follow with an equally explosive jump... especially under pressure?

Here's the thing people don't often realize about studies on bodybuilding supplements - they are most often "bought" by people with a financial interest in proving their product is superior. I could find you several studies to prove CEE is the superior creatine, and you could find several studies to prove it's just a gimmick and the only thing that works is CM. Unfortunately, a lot of this is pseudo-science (or, at the very least, bad-faith science), and experiments have a tendency to be designed backwards (i.e. "we want to prove creatine monohydrate is inferior to creatine ethyl-esther, how can we do that? let's prove it has increased solubility and ignore all other factors"). I've tried CM, micronized CM and CEE + NO boost. Without a doubt, the product that has worked best for me, both in terms of strength, lean body mass gain and avoidance of bloat, is the CEE. Just one man's experience, so take that as you will.

Here is a link to a great little clip of a super-burpee. It shows the flow of repetition. I can't recommend this exercise enough. It is virtually irreplaceable: http://www.rosstraining.com/articles/burpeeclip.htm Go for th 100/10 challenge. See if you can do 100 in 10 minutes. Piece of cake, right?

Anyone know if the effects of creatine are dependant on the person's diet? For example I normally eat very little meat and even less red meat. I have recently started taking creatine and have experienced what I think are significant gains (for instance I have added around .5in to my biceps in 3 weeks). Are these average effects or is it possible that I am getting above average effects because my diet had very little creatine in it from natural sources?
