Putting the whole issue of whether professional athletes or any athletes ought to be able to use supplements, there is one basic question that most of the reports out there never really address. Are these supplements effective in the first place? And, of the two most popular supplement --whey protein and creatine --which one actually works better in terms of improving your muscle strength and performance. Mangoboss combed through the actual medical research reports to settle the issue. Whey and Creatine Affect Different Strength Exercises It turns out that the answer as to whether whey or creatine is better at improving your strength depends on which exercises you're targeting. For bench press and push-ups, a combination of whey and creatine works better than whey alone. A 2001 study by St. Francis Xavier university in Canad found that whey protein in combination with creatine improves your maximum bench press better than creatine or whey alone. The research team measured 36 men over a 6 week training period. The men were divided into groups and given 1.2 grams of whey protein a day or a whey-creatine combo of .1 grams a day or a placebo of nothing but maltodextrin, the same stuff that's used to mix with Splenda. After 6 weeks, the guys taking the whey-creatine comb had more lean muscle mass than the guys using whey alone. The whey-creatine combo also produced higher maximum bench presses. However, when it comes to knee extensions, whey and the whey-creatine combo were equally effective. Same story with squats. Whey by itself was just as effective as the whey-creatine combo in boosting squat strength. Bottom line: It appears, for reasons not yet clear to researchers, that whey and creatine in combo helps to improve your upper body strength but won't do "squat" for your lower body strength. Sorry for the pun, guys, but I have no self control. You're just getting warmed up.
