Jordan, since you're a diet expert, I'd love to see a few segments which are diet related. Selfishly interested in anything to do with high cholesterol (medical), but I'm sure your viewership would like to know things like why you can't build muscle without caloric surplus, evil carbs, latest fads or any number of a million questions you've tackled over the years :D

Barbell Medicine I was just wondering why the dosage of creatine in your preworkout suppliment is only 2.5 grams?

I think as a running joke you should never get it done in under 2 minutes or post it on Tuesday. Quality info. Thanks.

I'm loving these 2 min videos. Keep it up

Love how concise and informative this is, quality is excellent also!

Excellent video. Thank you. Your evidence-based opinions are much appreciated. Please, keep up the good work. David, Ottawa, Canada

this is awesome. thank you jordan!

This is great content. The creatine kidney question always comes up, and theres so much to be read that points to this not being significant data. If you have kidney problems taking creatine, you have kidney problems. They are not correlated.

Really good video, great job 👍.

Do caffeine for the next episode! These are awesome, thank you Jordan!

I've been taking creatine for 2 months now and I feel great in training. I'm also sleeping well. Comp in March.

I have been taking for about two months now. I didn't believe it but it as improved my cognitive abilities for sure. Feel much sharper and things come too me quickly

Chad Sacrey except you use the wrong "too." I kid. I know it's just typo. It's simply amusing in the middle of your statement. I'm not really trying to "gotcha" you. I'm just clowning. Congrats on your training results, bro. Keep working hard.

Damn. He mentioned a study he linked to in the first 15 sec of the video. That makes me happy

You like to be as complete as possible, which we all appreciate given the tendency of many toward unsubstantiated sound bites. Given that, you will always be hard pressed to stay within two minutes. HOWEVER, if you want to keep going with Two Minute Tuesdays I would really take it as a challenge to pare down the content on that subject to just the top facts you can discuss within two minutes. As soon as you say, "At least one study indicates..." it's too late--it's over. Also, since you've provided a lot of great and complete content previously on many of these subjects (nutrition, creatine, etc.) you can always link to your more complete discussions if the viewer wants to know more. I'm going to watch either way.

Thanks for the information, I stopped Creatine a few years ago when my urine went frothy which kind of freaked me out. It is still like that but my kidney function is fine, I will look at starting it back up.

The first upload of this video was great also. :)

Thank you for your content. Very useful and well delivered. Creatine seems pretty commonly accepted as a valuable supplement in the fitness world. A similar video on some of the lesser-known components of GainzZz Rx (beta alanine, HMB, citrulline malate, betaine anhydrous) would be helpful. It might also convince some people to buy :)

Thank You Very Much.

mic drop. all that time spent watching videos about creatine just officially became "waste" Thanks!

Very interesting Jordan

Are there any articles on the effects of creatine to those with renal disease, as well as hypertension caused by their renal diseases, that you could refer me to? My specific case: at infancy I had renal reflux, which caused hydronephrosis, surgery repaired my ureters etc. and stopped further damage to kidneys due to early diagnosis and treatment at infancy, now having high functioning kidneys with renal disease, and hypertension caused by kidney damage. I am 21 years old and am a healthy male if disregarding these issues. Appreciate if you could help! If not, no worries. Keep putting out great content!

Fortunately I'm one of those responders. Which may answer the question I posted on your last video about why some of us are so much larger than others doing the same type of strength training. I look jacked compared to some of the guys lifting the same amount of weight (or more) as me. Edit: That's to say due to more fast twitch fibers, not the creatine making us jacked. lol

Thank you!

That's you playing the opening theme music right? Man, you good fast! Shred-er-ific!

So snort creatine 3 times a day into jugular for maximum benefit....i heard thats what all the starting strength guys do for them crazy gains ;) great vid

Very good video Dr. Feigenbaum, in order to prevent from health damage is it needed to rest from consumption or is it possible to take it for long run without any health problem?

Love you dad

Great information, thanks Jordan. #TwoMinuteDream

You should go by the name Dr. Creatine and get some sort of royalty from the companies that make it. Im going to buy a 50 gal drum of the stuff now.

What about how it works? Does it have more effect on your 5RM than your 1RM? Great video, thank you

I'd honestly prefer the videos be longer it feels so dense your like a textbook hahaha

This was not two minutes and most of it was spent talking about crapping anyways. You launched spring sales like just a day after I purchased the intermediate spreadsheet. Shame. Its a very nice program with exxtra nuance. Keep up the good work.

When you talk about dosing, is it recommended to take creatine everyday or only on training days? I don't want it to be ineffective if i'm not getting it to any relevant concentration in the blood by only taking it 3-4x/week or every other day. Also, I read (and you briefly mentioned) a link between glycogen stores and creatine, is it at all beneficial to eat higher glycemic foods on training days in coordination with creatine intake or will this have virtually little/no effect?

What about the cycles for creatine? Any recommendations beyond what's on the bottle? (1 month on, one month off?)

So can you become a better responder to creative supplementation if you increase the size of your type II muscle fibers, or is your creative responsiveness more related to your genetic propensity to have larger and/or more type II muscle fibers?

Thanks for the video and information. What do you think about the study of the college rugby players that showed that creatine increased blood DHT levels. (Which has been sometimes correlated to hair loss from my understanding.)

Jordan, I race dirt bikes and when I take creatine I seem to get arm pump really bad. Is this possible or is it more of a placebo effect?

Jordan - I've heard that at least one study has shown a significant increase in effectiveness if you take beta alanine with creatine. Thoughts?

Digging the references now. As much science as ya like?

I have been taking creatine on the three days I workout only - should it be every day?

The study about loading shows that you shouldn't split the 20g into 4 doses. From the abstract: "The lower excretion of creatine using 20 x 1 g x day(-1) doses suggests a greater retention in the body and most probably in the muscle."

@BarbellMedicine

I have a question about Creatine: Does Creatine lose it's effect if it stays disolved in a liquid for a longer period of time ? For example I want to make a shake - I mix creatine with milk and let it stay overnight. Do I lose the benefit of the cratine if I drink it the next day or should I drink it ASAP after mixing the creatine poweder with the said liquid?

Ok so as a fairly thick female (5’6/180ish) who has been powerlifting a little over a year typically training about 4x a week, would you recommend creatine? I’m planning on competing at 165 this year. I’ve always avoided creatine because of water retention and being wary of weight gain. Would performance benefits for females generally outweigh any potential weight gain possibilities?

@BarbellMedicine

6 жыл бұрын

That's a difficult question. I would expect you to gain 0-4.5lbs from creatine. If you have a difficult time losing weight to make 165 then this might be more trouble than it's worth. On the other hand, if you want to maximize your performance, I'd be taking creatine. It's a risk benefit thing I think you'll have to address personally.

@yaangreece

my take on this is that you first reach the desired bodyweight without supplementing creatine, so that you get there sooner and also so that it won't interfere with your bodyweight measurements. Once you get there, supplementing is a good idea, since you will then be in a caloric maintenance, let alone in a surplus, in which you can handle higher relative intensities or volumes in your training and thus maximize the enhancing effects of creatine in your overall performance.

I took creatine for a couple months but had to recently stop. Within the first week I gained 15 lbs of lean muscle mass and my bench went from 135 to 275. About a month in I was sitting at 225lbs at 6'2" and around 7% body fat. Numerous fitness companies were contacting me a day. By 8 weeks I could no longer move comfortable, as I was so musclebound that I resembled more so an ox than a human.

So you say 5 g dose per day is better rather than creatine loading?

What about creatine and possible hair loss?

OK, if you have two groups with similar baseline strength and programming and one takes creatine, they will become stronger than the controls. But what happens if you take their creatine away? Does the increased strength relative to controls go away? Did creatine supplementation steal their ATP regeneration gains? That is the real question.

@BarbellMedicine

mark putham they’re still stronger because their training was more robust in its response. Also, wouldn’t you want to give yourself every advantage whilst training?

@markputham2960

6 жыл бұрын

Sure, but I woudn't want to make progress that disappears when I stop taking a supplement. Plus I feel like the concept of "gains" isn't as clear as it could be, with combined effects of muscle synthesis, muscle innervation, higher-level muscle coordination, and ATP regeneration, and probably more I'm not thinking of. But I wonder, for example., does very short HIIT, like 30sec spurts designed to exclusively work the phosphocreatine system, have an effect on strength? Maybe not 1RM but in a training context with multiple reps? Or is muscle synthesis king and taking things to boost the other parts of the lifting process, like creatine and CNS stimulants, purely helpful? Or do I have no understanding of how these things work?

@BarbellMedicine

6 жыл бұрын

There are no supplements whose effect disappears when you stop taking it. That doesn't exist so we shouldn't discuss it like it's a think. Yes, the mechanism of improvement secondary to creatine is multifaceted. To your other question, yes, HIIT training can effect strength positively or negatively depending on context, but not via the mechanisms you've suggested...no.

How do i know if im a non responder to creatine?

@Xplora213

6 жыл бұрын

take it for 3 months. If you don't have much response, then it's a good enough indicator. BBM guys have mentioned it's 6 weeks to get the stuff out of your system. I thought I was a nonresponder, but my squat has gone backwards since stopping it, while my bench improved due to a technique change and my deadlift isn't maxing out every week so I might have better recovery to offset any loss of deadlift. Give it a go. Creatine is CHEAP. I reckon it's worth an extra rep at 75% of 1RM.
