The Truth About Creatine
- By Justin Lehrer

- Sports Nutrition , Strength Sports
Creatine is a metabolite found in the body, which is composed of 3 amino acids: 1-methionine, 1-arginine and 1-glycine. It is found in the skeletal system in 2 forms, creatine phosphate and free chemically unbound creatine. Creatine monohydrate has been clinically used in improving plasma creatine concentrations by as much as 50%. Creatine is found naturally in red meats and some types of fish. The biggest reason why creatine supplementation is necessary for some athletes is because the creatine content found in these foods is usually destroyed when cooking the meats. Supplementing with creatine allows the athletes to get the correct dosage and compensate for what is lost when cooking meats.

This is the ideal scenario as a female bodybuilder to be in, maximum hypertrophy. This is when our body is in a state where it is rebuilding tissue as much as possible, making your muscles even bigger. It's hard to achieve, but definitely worth pursuing. The majority of time in which hypertrophy occurs is when you're asleep. This is the time when our bodies do all the major repairs from all the work we did that day. If you sleep only 5-6 hrs a night, than you're not going to get the most hypertrophy. You need at least 8-9 hrs solid every night.

Watch the Player, Not the Play - When the hockey player you're taking off is nearing the end of their shift, keep a close eye on him. Watch him wherever he goes on the ice. Don't take your eyes off him. When your player makes his move to change on the fly, it is up to you to be ready. Not having a drink of water, not tying your skate, and not watching the play at the other end of the hockey rink. Be ready........

How To Grip And Throw A Curveball

When is the best time to throw the curve? When you are ahead of the count with one or two strikes on the batter or surprise the batter by throwing it your first pitch. I only recommend throwing the Curveball the first pitch if you have excellent command and can throw it for a strike. You always want to start the count in your favor.
You can throw the Curveball one of two ways as far as the location of the pitch is concerned. One, you can start the Curveball out in the strike zone and throw it into the dirt hoping the batter will fish for it. Or two, you can start it out as a ball and have it drop into the strike zone. If the batter doesn't swing, it is a strike, and if he does he misses it or grounds out. I prefer the ground out personally so I can throw fewer pitches per inning. When a starting pitcher performs, he should plan on throwing the whole game if he is on a five day rotation; first pitch ground outs are ideal for me.
