This was a question we were asked the other day and someone wanted to know if they need to take Creatine to gain a competitive edge. I wouldn’t say Creatine is the most absolute be all end all thing to give you a competitive edge but it certainly helps in a few areas. Creatine is usually taken by athletes to help with weight gain. If they need to gain 10-20lbs in the off season that’s what they take, but also what most people don’t know about Creatine is that it helps with strength gains as well. Creatine hydrates your muscles...

If you are hesitant on taking supplements but want to take your fitness and your performance to the next level, you cannot go wrong with taking protein.

Make sure to read the ingredient labels of everything that you consume and will put in your body. Now, if you are hesitant on pre workout, that is fine. Not everyone is...

The NCAA has a unique view on supplements and that is what we are going to discuss today. Most dietary supplements are completely legal in the eyes of the NCAA. Creatine is legal, mostly all pre workout ingredients are legal but today I want to talk to you about caffeine. Caffeine is something that a lot of people wouldn’t consider illegal but before a competition you are not allowed to consume over 500MG of caffeine. So let’s say a pre workout has 300MG of caffeine and you take 2 scoops, and you are taking before a competition, you are technically...
