Creatine has a number of major functions as a sports supplement. All of these functions revolve around its function as an energy replenisher through it forming the creatine phosphate (CP or phosphocreatine) molecule.Studies have demonstrated that the more creatine that is present in muscle cells, up to a maximum storage level, the more efficiently ATP can be replenished, and, hence more ATP is available for energy. This all means that creating makes you stronger,giving you more energy to lift heavy. Lifting heavy makes you break down muscle faster, making your muscles repair bigger.

Whey Protein:
Whey protein is a high quality, complete protein and a rich source of branched chain amino acids and essential amino acids. These are important for individuals who are involved in sports, exercise, or do resistance training. The requirement for branched chain amino acids increases during exercise as they are taken up directly by the skeletal muscles versus first being metabolized through the liver, like other amino acids. Low levels of branched chain amino acids may contribute to fatigue and they should be replaced within 2 hours or less following exercise. Many athletes often take one shake of their whey protein drink before exercise to help optimize their workout, as well as another shake afterwards. Whey protein also helps to repair and rebuild lean muscle tissue that is broken down by exercise For bodybuilding 1-2g per pound of bodyweight is reccomended. (Resource:Wheyoflife.com)
