[QUOTE="WoodsRider, post: 33804, member: 16545"] I was also a competitive swimmer back in high school and through two years of college. I competed in the 200 and 500 free as well as a relay sprinter. I shaved my legs for the 1983 regional meet and dropped close to 0.8 seconds off my best time in the 50 free (200 medley relay). A year later I made it to state in the 400 free relay and 50 free. This time I did the entire body shave with a buzz-cut on top. Dropped 0.3 seconds off my best 50 free time and a whopping 1.1 seconds off my best 100 free time. Sure, my coefficient of drag was a tad lower, but most of this improvement was mental. I have never been a physical fitness expert. For several years I lifted weights without any aerobic activity. I went from 175 lbs. to 230 lbs. with just over 10% body fat. I quit lifting for a couple of years and lost 20 lbs. but my body fat rose to 27%. Since then I've been working out regularly. I do cardio work (running, biking, swimming) for 30 minutes and resistance training for 30 minutes 3 to 4 days a week. The biggest benefit is I can eat almost anything I want and my weight stays right at 200 lbs. As far as using supplements, buyer beware. Rich stated, the long term effects of using creatine have not been fully evaluated. It may be completely harmless but, as Steve stated, some testing has shown it provides absolutely no benefit. Creatine can't be cheap. I remember dropping a $100 at the vitamin store back in '86 for supplements to make myself bigger and stronger. Then the trainer at the gym told me I could get the same benefits if I ate a balanced diet rather than chasing pills with a hamburger, fries and a coke. Besides, I'd rather spend the money on a new bike or at least upgrades for my current bike. [/QUOTE]
