creatine is not only one of the most studied supplements, but also the basic creatine monohydrate is all you need and is dirt cheap.
Also has a ton of benefits outside of muscle building. A million % agree. Creatine, fish oil and ZMA are absolute no brainer supplements everyone should have (even with lunches usually being 2 tins of sardines keep taking the fish oil.
I would have been more interested if I wasn't already 100% convinced. I really like evidence-based, data heavy writers but they're the precise books where I tend to not need every chapter. Short version: get enough rest. Really just beats the crap out of that dead horse.
Not sure but measuring today (as in blood test this morning then have to UPS to lab for results; trying to coincide with the beginning of next month). Will report back.
this blog is great!... a couple of suggestions I have followed up on and found to be useful have been the book of exercise cues and the "monster mash". thanks, chris!
That makes my day. I'm making more monster mash today and used the book of cues (p 109) to prep for push jerks this morning. Grateful for the encouragement (one never really knows the reactions on a new project like this unless someone comments).
Good post

Thanks.
That’s quite an endorsement for the sleep book - that it will put me to sleep!

Hey Chris! Super fan here. I take creatine (1 heaping teaspoon) pre workout, and am wondering how much you take and when?
5 g first thing in the AM.
what is your free T level?
