    As a 60kg Weightlifter, i noticed that when I take my creatine monohydrate I snatch around 83kg. When i don't take it i snatch around 82.99kg. So if i take around 50g, i should be snatching 120kg by yesterday ✍🏾🧐🤝🏾.

    I maxed out 385 on bench, stopped my daily creatine (4 scoops) and my bench dropped to 365. I worked my way back to 385 without creatine then when i started up on the creatine again for ten days i hit 405... just my personal experience.

    7:00 EAAs should not taste bad. I use EAA from bulk supplements and it tastes relatively clean, minor bitterness. Easy to overcome with some flavor packets.. I was using OJ but ended up being a lot of calories. so MUCH MORE bang for your buck buying in bulk.

    Commenting on the wrong video cause I can't find the original but you guys said you aren't a fan of the rise of zercher squatting. Would you mind elaborating on why? The way I see it, it can be a hugely beneficial and pragmatic movement to program. You get the posterior activation of a high bar squat, the upper back recruitment of a front squat and it automatically promotes good knee tracking with almost no mobility demands. What's there to dislike?

    • @Francoiseg1987
      @Francoiseg1987 Před 9 měsíci

      I think they said that you don't get the upper back stiffness you would get from reaching back chest up in the high bar. That's just my memory though 😊

    • @sikastrength
      @sikastrength  Před 9 měsíci +2

      Effective range of motion, stress on bicep tendon and elbow joint, most people don't have great squatting mechanics as it is so the zercher makes it even worse for most, off the top of my head

    • @radreynolds8978
      @radreynolds8978 Před 9 měsíci

      @@sikastrength If you take it to barbell resting on thighs that's well below parallel for most people. Elbow stress seems like a strange remark considering both front squats and (good) high bar squats have a pretty cranked elbow position as well. Bicep tendon I can buy. Last point is also weird. The zercher will promote upright posture, tight upper back and knees tracking out. I really disagree with your take on this 😂

    • @durrantmiller8810
      @durrantmiller8810 Před 9 měsíci

      how substances interact in the body is extremely complex. Substances can have a different affect when they are first metablozied and then once they are stored in tissues. CReatines benefits while stored in the muscle are well documented but more acute effects probably haven't been researched as deeply. It also likely just has a much smaller affect acutely. It may not be enough to care for most people but a top level athlete will probably try to squeze out any effects possible even if small.

    The supp industry got so lucky that creatine actually works. The whole rest of it generally doesn’t but there’s always a chance another creatine will come along

    • @durrantmiller8810
      @durrantmiller8810 Před 9 měsíci

      I mean there are other supplements that work just with a less dramatic effect which for the majority of people may not be worth it. For an athlete trying to squeeze out every last drop of performance it may be worth it though.
