Women's Bodybuilding in the last few years has rose up to a true full blown sport and watched by many now as more and more women hit the gym to gain
size, strength, muscle, and self-confidence.
There are fundamental differences between
women's bodybuilding and men's bodybuilding - most notably,
biological differences. This is true in the case of
supplements. For example, steriods increases your testosterone
levels significantly, and have negative side effects for both
men and women. However, these effects may annoy female
bodybuilders more so, as everyone knows, testosterone deepens
your voice, and produces more hair on your body. What about
creatine for women bodybuilders? Should they use it too?
When female bodybuilders take creatine, they
will gain some weight, but some of this weight gain is due to
water retention from the creatine. Best way to avoid this is
using creatine products designed specifically for women. Also,
some fitness females may not wish to gain large muscle mass,
but get fit and get in shape. These fitness females can still
use creatine since creatine does not creat muscle mass, and it
does provide higher levels of energy during workouts. It's not
what supplements you take that determines your build, but your
workout program.
In general, there are some minor negative
effects associated with creatine, and this include upset
stomach, muscle cramping, diarrhea and dehydration. It is safe
for women bodybuildes to use creatine, and women bodybuilders
do use it.
