THE HUMAN GUINEA PIG

 You've seen the advertisements claiming "10 lbs gained in 3 weeks!" Only to try the product and find yourself not only deeply disappointed, but also feeling like the biggest sucker this side of the tootsie roll factory. Yeah, me too. But my pain is your gain. Move over Daredevil. Scooch down a little Batman, for I announce myself as THE HUMAN GUINEA PIG. After scouring the money hungry fitness industry for promising supplements, I undertake the controlled experiment to deem the true value of said products.
   
 
This Issue — The Human Guinea Pig VS. Micronized Creatine
 

Here's my bodyfat, one rep max, and bodyweight log, pre and post Micronized Creatine. I used Micronized Creatine beginning January 9th. December and March will be the control months.

 

December 1-December 29:
4 day/week lifting schedule. 4 day/week 20 min. cardio.
Diet: approx 3000 calories/day 40% protein, 30%carb, 30%fat
December 29: Bodyfat-7.2% Bodyweight-248lbs.
Supplements: Designer Protein 60grams/day (control month, no creatine used). Max Bench: NA
 

January 9-January 31:
4 day/week lifting schedule. 4 day/week 20 min. cardio.
Diet: approx 3000 calories/day 40% protein, 30%carb, 30%fat
January 9: Bodyfat-7.8% Bodyweight-252lbs.
Supplements: Designer Protein 60grams/day, Micronized Creatine 8 grams/day. Max Bench: 336lbs,

     

February 1-29:
4 day lifting schedule. 4 day 20 min. cardio.
Diet: approx 3500 calories/day 40% protein, 30%carb, 30%fat
February 19th: Bodyfat-6.9% Bodyweight-257
Supplements: Designer Protein 60grams/day, Micronized Creatine 8 grams/day. Max Bench: 386lbs,

   
     

Side Effects: No side effects noticed.

    
      Visual and Physical Observations: While body fat stores decreased by nearly 8 lbs, body weight increased by 5 lbs. Weight gain was likely a combination of lean muscle mass and increased muscle water storage allowed by creatine's atp transport function.
    
   

Strength Observations: Incredible strength increase. Bench press gained 50 lbs.

             
    Note: We do not promote this or any product. There is no shortcut to fitness. Real muscle is built with hard work, dedication and consistency. Your body may react differently to the supplement than our study shows. Especially since you don't have the amazing powers of . . . The Human Guinea Pig!
