Creatine - High Body Fat - Creapure?

[harry87]

Hi there,

Im currently 24years old, 92kg and 18% bodyfat (coming down slowly). Im trying to lower BF and tone up.

Im doing CV work followed by supersets of high rep weight training, as well as bodypump classes.

Im using a fat stripper supplement daily, and occasionaly a lean whey protein drink.

Im doing some research into creatine, specifically Creapure.

If i use this product will it contradict my fat stripper and regime? Or will it help me achieve a lower body fat and more toned physique...

Any help would be appreciated.

All creatine does is increase the saturation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate) within the body, nothing more, nothing less - it pretty much improves intra-set recovery and can also aid in optimal strength output. There is no issues regarding fat, liver issues etc, they are merely all myths.

On a sidenote, I would reduce the volume of cardio you do and concentrate moreso on heacy compound lifts in the gym - you are in a calorie definct which means a recovery definct, cardio is risky at burning lean tissue (muscle mass etc), whilst short, intense lifting sessions will make the body perserve muscle mass - diet should control all calorie loss resulting in fat loss, not activity. This becomes much more of an issue the leaner you become, the body isn't very efficient at keeping lean mass.
