Crea-Pump Max - Xtreme Muscle Pump
GENETIX CREA-PUMP MAX delivers the latest in Creatine technology to dramatically increase lifting power and strength.
CREATINE: BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER.
The bread and butter of bodybuilding: protein, creatine and glutamine. Creatine is one of the oldest, most reliable supplements on the market today.
Why creatine?
Creatine recyles the energy used by the muscles for fast short burst movements, like weight lifting, sprinting, or for your top golf drive. This energy is known as adenosine tri phosphate (ATP) and is constantly required to keep you going. Creatine helps to recycle ATP so that you maintain a higher intensity in your workouts. This means one extra rep, or a heavier wieght or a faster start time for you! There are many different chemical forms of creatine available, and not all are created equal. Most companies out there recommend that you use a five gram serve but you could be wasting your hard earned cash and absorbing as little as one gram!!
Crea-pump is a blend of creatine titrate and malate that provides
- maximum apsorbtion
- pH blance
- no bloating
- no water retention
Creatine titrate produces a product with greater solubilty and a correct pH to maximise that all important absorption. Why is pH so important? Creatine is only truly active in a narrow pH window, which in Arnie's day meant the consumption of BiCarb soda. This was used to prevent the by products of lactic acid from acting negatively in the muscle. Lactic acid is the second source of energy when your body runs low on ATP.
The goods on how your body uses energy:
- ATP – 5-6 reps
(sprinting, power lifting)
- Glycolytic (Lactic Acid) – 7-15 reps
(bodybuilding, 400m sprint)
- Oxidative 15 + reps
(aerobics, body pump classes, long distance running)
Note: These energy pathways over lap and most sports use a combination eg: bodybuilding uses both ATP and Glycolytic.
This lactic acid is comprised of two parts, lactate and hydrogen. The lactate is what we use as energy. The hydrogen which we normally breathe out (why its soooo important not to hold you breathe when doing weights!) can become problematic when our bodies can't keep up with its clearance from the muscles. As it starts to build up in the muscle it drops the pH, causing pain and fatigue. This also affects how well our creatine supplements can do their job.
The pH value of creatine titrate changes when it hits water, allowing it to work longer in the muscle. Instead of BiCarb we can now include more sophisticated ingredients such as Beta Alanine to maintain this pH even further. The longer we maintain creatine's active pH, the better your workout, the stronger you will be!!
Crea-pump also includes creatine malate, a form of creatine bound to malic acid. Malic acid helps to increase energy, stamina and may minimise muscle damage during exercise. Creatine malate is more water soluble, again improving absorption from the digestive system whilst minimising the occurance of digestive upset. These two creatine's have their differences but when combined produce a superior product that maximises the uptake and use of this essential sports nutrient.
Acetyl -l- Tyrosine
If after working an 8-hour shift you're feeling less than motivated to get to the gym, this ingredient will give you the kick in the arse to make you want to be there! If you're looking for increased concentration, intense focus and leaner gains Crea-pump will provide! Tyrosine is used by the body to produce the brain chemical (neurotransmitter) dopamine. Increased dopamine levels are associated with increased alertness, better mood and feelings of wellbeing. More importantly high dopamine levels are associated with a muscle gains, as dopamine may stimulate receptors in the hypothalamus that activate the release of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH), stimulating the production of growth hormone and testosterone.
High dopamine levels will also keep you lean. This is because dopamine feeds the thyroid gland which governs your entire metabolism
The acetyl form of tyrosine in Crea-pump results in a stronger uptake into the brain that is twice as potent as the more common L-tyrosine. This makes Crea-pump an ideal product for those looking for a non stimulant creatine that will still provide plenty of energy and drive. This is the supplement you will really feel!
Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium Electrolyte Blend
A dehydrated muscle is a weak muscle! The electrolytes included in our blend will help keep you hydrated and will also help muscular cells access the other included nutrients.
Beta Alanine
A few years ago, no one had heard of Beta Alanine and yet now its found in many products. Even if you didn't know you were taking it, you have probably felt the unusual tingling, itching, pin and needles like feeling that is the trademark of this amino acid. No you are not having an allergic reaction!
Beta Alanine reduces the negative side effects of lactic acid. It does this by increasing the intramuscular carnosine levels which helps clear excess hydrogen, preventing the associated drop in pH. Creatine and beta alanine work well together to increase strength and reduce muscular fatigue.
AAKG
Arginine Alpha Keto-glutartate (AAKG) gives you massive pumps!! This amino acid is also involved in the energy cycle that keeps churning out ATP to keep you pushing through the pain. Its a vasodilator which means increased blood flow to your hard working muscles. Better blood flow means more nutrition arriving where its needed and this means better growth and recovery.
In a double-blind placebo controlled study conducted by Campbell in 2006, resistance-trained men between the ages of 35-50 received 12 gms of AAKG or a placebo (dummy treatment) per day for 8 weeks. It was discovered that AAKG treatment increased bench press and peak power performance when compared with placebo.
Citrulline Malate
This amino acid and arginine are great in combination as citrulline is metabolized within the body to form arginine within the kidneys. Oral citrulline supplementation increases arginine levels by up to 60% !! Citrulline may increase arginine concentration in the blood to a greater extent than arginine itself. Citrulline increases our energy levels, growth hormone and testosterone. This combination ensures massive blood flow to the muscle giving you gastronomic pumps.
Glutamine
Why have we included this well known ingredient in our creatine product? During training glutamine is used to buffer and contain waste by products, and our body uses the glutamine existing in the blood stream to achieve this. As this concentration of glutamine in the blood is so important, the body will breakdown muscle tissue to maintain it. This is muscle going catabolic and is a body builders worst nightmare! So to prevent any muscle loss we have included glutamine in our Crea-pump to keep you in an anabolic, muscle-building state!
Carbohydrate Matrix
All the amino acids included in Genetix Crea-pump require carbohydrate to stimulate their uptake and use in the body. Why? Insulin is the hormone required to drive amino acids into the cells of the body. And what drives insulin? Carbohydrate. This is why we want our carbohydrate intake and therefore insulin to be higher during and immediately after any muscle-building exercise we do. So taking in carbohydrate which stimulates insulin drives all our anabolic nutrients in to the muscle. An added benefit to increasing our insulin is that insulin is antagonist to cortisol. As any dedicated sports athelte will know, training is stressful to the body and this stress stimulates the release of cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that breaks down muscle tissue and decreases immune function. Carbs taken directly around training will not get stored as fat but will be sucked up by the muscles for growth! Insulin is the hormone on which all muscle growth depends, and the fast release carbohydrates contained in Crea-pump will ensure you get the most out of this anabolic creatine blend.
R, Alpha Lipoic Acid
Absorption! Remember, all the supplements you take are only as good as far as they are absorbed. A study conducted by Burke and his mates at St Francis Xavier University in Canada compared supplementing with creatine, carbs or creatine, carbs and alpha lipoic acid (ALA). Creatine when taken with carbohydrate creates a beneficial effect on insulin activity and improves the action of creatine in our bodies. This study shows how adding ALA to the mix maximises this even further! Other scientific studies have shown that ALA is anti aging, anti oxidant and can protect us from diabetes and obesity. It is perfect for those athletes looking to stay in optimum health, increase their muscularity and stay lean.
