Could I work out everyday if I'm taking Creatine?

[tmc1324]

The same muscle groups everyday. Creatine is supposed to lessen muscle breakdown and speed up muscle recovery, is this enough to make working out everyday a viable option?

[rockingpianoman]

no , and your body consists of more than just muscle , the joints etc will suffer if you train the same groups every day..

You never should overwork your body because you'll mostly get negative effects. Resting is just as important as training :D

anyways if you want to be completely fit you can easily switch between different muscles or put a cardio day in your workout scheme

[tmc1324]

Ah, didn't even think about the joints. And I know how to work out lol, I was just wondering if creatine made working out everyday a viable option. I work every major muscle group and do a little cardio, don't worry :p

I would say no. Creatine is proven to be effective, sure, but it's still 90% you doing all the work. You're not taking some illegal super-steroid.

[Claretica]

No.

Creatine is simply an organic compound that works with the body to saturate the body's muscles.

It does NOT mean you can train more often.

All it does is it allows a slightly higher intensity when you're training. (Not a higher weight, but more explosive movements.)

It depends on the person though, some people feel no difference and others feel completely invigorated.

[tmc1324]

I know what it is and how it works. It allows you to push a little extra during anaerobic workouts (it allows you to last slightly longer/get a few more reps). It also speeds up muscle recovery time. I was wondering if anyone knew exactly how much it aided in muscle recovery.

When I worked out I only took creatine once but that's because I didn't like how my body felt

the thing with that is you need to drink A LOT of water because it drains your muscles of all the water

so you need to drink a gallon of water a day to make sure your creatine consumption doesn't take too much out of you.

good luck!

Def not I take creatine I do personal training and I researched a lot on creatine and it can't help you do that

[BobBobinson]

Ugh, that's a definite NO.

The only way to workout every week is to take steroids.

[tmc1324]

Every day you mean? lol

[BobBobinson]

Eh, I think that people who do roids take a shot everyday, yeah. But that's NOT advisable. You're looking good, don't become a roid-monkey.

[tmc1324]

No I mean, in your post, you meant to say "the only way to workout every day*".

[BobBobinson]

Ah, yes, oops. Ha, I type to quickly sometimes.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

[BobBobinson]

Ugh... I don't get enough sleep.
