Bodybuilding Supplements - A Two Sided Story On Creakic

Creakic is a dietary supplement that is very popular with serious bodybuilders. This supplement works in a unique manner. Many people have tried this supplement and there are mixed reviews as to its effectiveness. It's also important that you have a basic familiarity with Creakic and how it works. Then we will get into the reviews that include both negative and positive responses. Finally we will summarize the findings.

Creakic works by preventing ROS-reactive oxygen species from disrupting the muscles' ability to absorb and utilize creatine to grow and provide added strength during workouts. It also prevents potential damage to the muscle cells' integrity. It is haled as the world's first and the world's only "muscle creatine receptor hyper-activator". Basically, it prevents the ROS from damaging the muscle cells' membrane and enhancing the ability to absorb creatine to the benefit of mass and strength gain.

Reviews can be either positive or negative and only sometimes neutral. There are no neutral reviews; they are either positive or negative. The more positive reviews include a statement that says one individual noted good results with an increase of approximately 15 pounds or better on the bench (amount of weight lifted). Others have reported great gains in mass and in strength. This translates into gains in inches and longer more intense workouts. When it was rated as either real or fake, 19 responders voted the product to be real.

The negative reviews however make the statement that no significant gains were experienced. It is further noted by responders that Creakic simply doesn't work. It is also not worth the expense as noted by others. Where Creakic was rated either fake or real, 57 voted that it was in their experience fake.

It would appear that the general consensus of opinions regarding Creakic and its effectiveness is that there seem to be more negative opinions/experiences than positive ones. Its 'fake' rating far exceeds (57) the 'real' rating of only 19. Experiences and expenses seem to be the factors in these responses.

Creakic is a body builder's tool, or at least one of the tools that will help them increase body mass and strength. The reviews seem to indicate that it is not a favored product despite the claims made by the makers of Creakic. No definitive conclusion can be made except to say that it will affect each user differently and it should be kept in mind when considering the use of this product.

Safety Issues for Using Bodybuilding Supplements

Many bodybuilders turn to bodybuilding supplements in order to get the maximum return on their investment of time. Supplements can help increase muscle mass, give you extra energy, and reduce recovery time after a workout. But are they safe?

The answer, in most cases, is yes. Supplements sometimes get a bad name because people associate them with steroids, but in reality most supplements contain substances that naturally occur in your body. Taking a supplement is very similar to taking a multivitamin. You should be aware that supplements are not subject to FDA guidelines. There are no real requirements that manufacturers must meet in order to sell supplements. They do not have to prove that they are safe or effective. You also can not be sure that the supplements contain the ingredients they are reported to contain.

For the most part though, manufacturers of supplements stick to their own strict guidelines. They want their product to have a good reputation and they want people to keep buying it. For this reason, taking a supplement is usually exceptionally safe.

Before beginning any kind of supplement, you probably will want to talk to your doctor and make sure that the supplement does not interact with any medication you are currently on. Your doctor can also advise you as to the safety of the particular supplement you wish to take.

You should also make yourself aware of any side effects that the supplements might have. The most common side effect associated with supplements is an upset stomach. Some people might experience diarrhea, gas or bloating but they usually go away after you take the supplement for awhile. You also need to be careful to drink enough water while you take supplements as many of them can cause your body to become dehydrated if you are not careful. You also need to be careful when taking andro supplements. They can cause breast growth in men and can cause a decrease in your desire for sexual activity. Some doctors believe that andro supplements can also lead to heart disease.

In general, supplements are very safe. They are taken by many bodybuilders around the world because they are effective. You can often find discount bodybuilding supplements by going online. Discount supplements are sometimes offered to members of a gym as well as one of the perks of membership. As long as you are educated about the supplements you take, then the safety issues related to supplement use should be minimal.

Women's Bodybuilding, Confusion and Disillusion

In the UK it seems that a more feminine look is being required - the general public don't seem to like us any more with our freaky muscles, they seem to prefer the fitness/figure look and I suppose to some it is more pleasing to the eye. However, what do you do? Do you play the game and try to get as feminine as possible even going as far as breast implants or do you continue building your awesome frame so they cant ignore you and have to give you that first place?

There is another side to all this though. I have found that since going back into bodybuilding I am having to keep a very close eye on the way I look. At least with the powerlifting you just looked square and not overly muscular, but since bodybuilding my shape is changing and I am aware of how masculine it makes me look. I always said that I would never play the game and grow my hair etc etc but to be honest with watching how masculine my physique is becoming I am trying really hard now to keep as feminine a look as possible.

?A lot of women have given up the sport because of lack of clarity on the judging criteria as well as general stigma now which is a real shame as we should be encouraging and nurturing the newcomers who are our next generation of possible great bodybuilders ?

It is very hard and time consuming but it also aids your mental state. Remember that us girlies are putting testosterone into our systems, using oestrogen blockers like Tamoxifen and Proviron. However you want to argue the point it still fucks around with your hormonal balance and emotional state and you 'feel' more masculine so putting that extra effort into your appearance does somewhat help your self esteem. Your confidence can sometimes can take a really serious knock if a fat couch potato educationally sub-normal wanker that has never trained in his life says something really unkind to you like 'are you a girl or a bloke?' or 'you look disgusting - you must be a dyke' and yes people do say stuff like that.

I went to the WABBA World Championships in Barcelona last week and what an eye opener. Yes, they had competitors with silicone tits but these girls got judged exactly the same as the rest of us flat chested girlies up there. There was definitely a different attitude in the organisation towards women's physique bodybuilding. It was how it used to be. I was told that we would get judged on our physiques only before I went but I didn't believe it.

Disillusionment had been creeping in until then - but when I went to Barcelona and saw the judging I was brimming with enthusiasm again. Maybe I could be doing with a little more feminine charm and grace but at least in this organisation I would get judged on my physique and the femininity issue would be more for me and my self esteem than for on the day of the show.

So what do we do at home?? I think most of us want to be the EFBB British Title holders don't we? I think we would be lying if we said no. The EFBB British is still THE show that we all want to win on a national level no matter how much we bitch about it.

I know one awesome female heavyweight physique girl who should have got placed better than she did this year, and it was the same last year, and the year before that but it was pointed out to me that she didn't present as well as the girl that won and that she stood like a bloke. WHAT BULLSHIT, it shouldn't be like that. The girl I am talking about is Gaynor Davies who has been competing for many years and she also has competed the last 2 years in the Universe and done well. She can come in whatever condition you ask her to - big and full, small and ripped, she is hugely talented and apart from all that she is a genuinely nice person. I think it's a real shame and it still isn't clear whether she will carry on competing or not after the results this year again.

Many of us are totally unclear on what the organisations are looking for - you hear a whisper about bigger and less ripped so you come in looking like that - and - bang - you find its smaller with striated glutes! A lot of women have given up the sport because of lack of clarity on the judging criteria as well as general stigma now which is a real shame as we should be encouraging and nurturing the newcomers who are our next generation of possible great bodybuilders. So, please, could we have some set in stone judging criteria please?? What would be interesting to hear is from the guy's point of view. It's all very well me banging on about women's issues in bodybuilding but do the guys have any sort of similar problems? And no I'm not talking about prejudice on the size of your lunch box!

It would also be interesting to know from the guys point of view what the attitude of women is towards muscular men now as a friend of mine who has been competing for many years has said that he now finds it really difficult to get a girlfriend as women these days don't like the muscular look and are going for heroin addict lookalikes which he feels is related to the changing roles for men since the 90's man emerged with his caring sharing feminine side and limp handshake??..eeeeeeewwwwwwww!!! uuuggggghhhhh, I can?t see the attraction but then with two tall previous exceptions I go for very short, very muscular men. Lee Priest - come and get me!!

TALK TO ME! Tell me what you think and what your own experiences are and whether you think I am dribbling bullshit and should be publicly flogged with a wet dishcloth or maybe you think I am absolutely right and you want to make me all yours and finance my bodybuilding forever!! Without your experiences and comments the points I am trying to raise are worthless really and it also makes me look at things from other points of view that I may not have considered before.

How To Become a Natural Bodybuilding Master

I want to help you guys become masters yourself so you too can make breakthroughs and discoveries of your own about yourself. Believe me every one of you has greatness inside yourself but the only way your going to find it is to trust yourself.

Believe me you have it but your only going to find it if you look for it and that is going to take some technical know -how and then the courage to experiment yourself.

Heck it took me 20 years to get to this point and I put everything I got into it so that I might throw the torch to you.

It's time for YOU to step into your own greatness and become a Master Of Muscle yourself.

Now will I be still working on stuff... of course? Just not bodybuilding per se.

Here's why...

Why You Need To Become a Master

I am moving on to mainstream problems. We are talking about addressing the issues of obesity in the mainstream, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, depression, etc.

Matt and I have been sitting on a collection of health material that is going to shock the world and it needs to be released.

In the last few years Matt and I so deep in discovering the secrets of unlocking the codes to these mysteries that we can't keep them secret any longer.

It's our God given duty to bring that information to the masses and we are going to do it. I am sure many of you will be with us in sharing the news to the mainstream when the time comes. The fact is we need you guys to be part of the legion of individuals who are going to give absolute proof the power that the body has to heal itself when given the right materials, and enough workers.

Stuff like Russian Cosmonaut frequency and laser technology, FM frequency healing, light infused supplements, sound therapy, color therapies, revolutionary ways to light, water and oxygen to heal anything and a whole lot more.

Basically the fact is these discoveries need to be brought to the world not just bodybuilders and so that's where my destiny lies.

I will be moving into the health and well-being field in the next few months and bringing the world the latest technologies and breakthroughs.

Also I have recently taken a position as a content editor for a major Health and Lifestyle magazine, which is set to begin by June of this year.

This position also helps me keep abreast of the foremost developments in the entire industry as well as an ability to get the information to millions of people who are desperate for options.

I am not leaving bodybuilding. I am simply helping a broader range of people who want a better life. People who require hope in what appears to be hopelessness.

Of course my dear friends, I love and cherish every one of you. I love bodybuilding and will continue to train for as long as I can. Bodybuilding has given me a wonderful life and I will be forever grateful for the men and women who came before me and inspired me to be part of this wonderful sport.

The End Of My Journey Is Where Yours Begins

It's been 20 years since I started as a skinny kid with a broken set of weights in a freezing cold barn in the backwoods of Canada. Who knew that 16 years later I would end up all the way to the other side of the world to compete in the stifling heat of Mumbai, India at the Mr. Universe World Championship.

Now just 4 years since I competed in the Mr. Universe we have helped athletes in over 100 countries build bigger and stronger bodies without using drugs.

20 years is a long time and it's been a good run. I give thanks to everyone and everybody that's been a part of it, and now I throw the torch to you.

Sincerely,

Wade McNutt
