The Effects of Creatine on a Bodybuilder's Physique

Executive Summary about Creatine Side Effects by Marc David

Top 3 Creatine Supplementation Physical Effects:

• Increase in muscle size
• Increase in body mass
• Decrease in body fat

Shortly after commencing supplementation with Creatine (assuming you are not part of the approximate 33% that does not respond to Creatine supplementation) you will notice an increase in muscle size and overall body mass. The initial muscle size comes from a term called "muscle volumizing." As the water is drawn in the muscle's cells, the muscle physically swells with water. This muscle volume increase leads to an increase in body composition.

As mentioned above, muscle volumizing helps contribute to the noticeable lean muscle mass. Creatine supplementation is an excellent way to help promote lean muscle mass which will help burn more fat. While there are several more positive effects of Creatine supplementation on the bodybuilder's physique, the most obvious are an increase in muscle mass thru volumization, and increase in body weight and a loss of body fat from an increase in lean muscle mass.
