Creatine - anyone using it to enhance their meet performance?

Just wondering. We have a little debate in our club if it is effective or not for swimmers. I know 100 - 200 m athlete sprinters use it frequently, so it might be interesting for at least 50 m distances in the pool. Comments anyone? /Per

  • shivering violently Don't go to Penn State football games underdressed. 2005's PSU/OSU game in happy valley was ~40s and drizzle; 12 hours outside. It took an hour of hot shower to stop shaking. Back to topic - Back when I was in college (not so long ago), I noticed a bunch of athletes in school were using a supplement (i forget which), and I wanted to improve my swimming, so I started looking into it. I asked a family friend, ***, about it; he was a decathlete who missed out on the 1980 olympics and is now a champion for anti-doping. He emailed me at least 2 articles daily for a week on the supplement, all stories of the bad side effects. I decided it was not worth the risks and just started going to more practices, trying to eat a little better and work harder in practice. I'm happy to report that was a good decision. And I don't suffer from drug-related ED. :banana:
