I would like to take this opportunity to inform other consumers in the weight lifting world about another alternative to creatine monohydrate. However, I'm still talking about creatine, but it's a better form of creatine. It's called creatine citrate, and I can state from personal experience with both monohydrate and citrate that citrate works twice as good.
I had been using creatine monohydrate off and on for about a year prior to being assigned 3 months in Kuwait. While in Kuwait, I became aware of people using creatine citrate instead of monohydrate. I, of course, was very interested in change since it had seemed that I had plateaued. I began loading on creatine citrate just as I had on monohydrate.
I can honestly say that by the time I had returned home I had gained 20 pounds and improved my bench press by over 40 pounds. This was an exceptional improvement considering I had reached a plateau for nearly 3 months. I improved greatly in other areas as well. My energy levels seemed to always be high. My gains in weight and strength must be considered amazing due to the fact I was also averaging over 22 miles of running a week at 6 min. and 20 second pace!
Unfortunately, on my return to the United States, I had a hard time finding citrate. I don't accredit all of my gains to creatine citrate, however. Nutrition played an equally important role in my improvement. However, I believe creatine citrate provides a bigger boost in development than monohydrate. I can only advise others to try it for themselves.
