[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 33800, member: 16241"] Steve is right. Power athletes are the only ones that have consistently shown real results with creatine. My 200 meter sprint times (~11 seconds) improved on the velodrome with creatine, but it didn't help my kilo time (about 7 times longer than a sprint), and the additional bodyweight I carried may have been a hinderance. Most of the longer distnace athletes have been fairly unimpressed by it, which makes sense when you look at the mechanism it is trying to feed. It's a great supplement for power lifters and match sprinters (the things I have competed in), but it is of dubious value to Motocrossers, and frankly I think the additional water that needs to be transported in your system via the creatine process puts you at MUCH greater risk of cramping on the hot days. I went back and forth over the summer on this and found the no creatine periods to be much less cramp prone. This could be an isolated case, but in talking to my bike racer friends most of them bailed out early on testing it for similar reasons. I doubt that I'll be using it in the summer this year becuase I don't really care what my 200 meter time is anymore [img]http://dirtrider-forum.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif[/img] ------------------ Rich Rohrich Applied Fluid Dynamics rich@dirtrider.net www.eric-gorr.com [/QUOTE]
