Bodywork: The Future Athlete Are You Ready? (cont.) Muscles in a Bottle By Brian Alexander
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU>> If you're honest, nothing. Outside of a doctor's prescription to help you recover from a degenerative muscle condition, there's no reason you need more CaMKs to boost your power. But CaMK abuse is inevitable. Harvey Newton, 55, former coach of the U.S. Olympic weight-lifting team, says, "Athletes looking for an illegal extra edge will be running down to their local rat lab trying to find this stuff." UNTIL THEN>> The best route to strength is creatine, an amino-acid supplement, combined with a workout program rich in iron (the kind you lift). "The harder you train consistently, the faster you'll improve," says Newton. "Creatine allows you to recover quickly and train harder."
