I know it helps make ATP. Thats all anything ever says but, I am looking to find out what EXACTLY it does.
From what I understand:
Your body has 3 seconds of ATP stores. After that is depleted it uses CP to make more ATP. Your body has 15 seconds of CP stored (then your body turns to glycogen to make ATP). After that you need to rest 2-5 mins to restore everything.
What exactly does creatine supplementation help with? Does it raise the initial "stored" CP? So instead of 15 seconds of CP (for a total of 18 seconds) you get, maybe 20 seconds of CP?
Or does it change the amount of times you can recharge after the 2-5 min rest?
Or does supplementation just make sure that if your not getting enough from your diet, that your CP stores will always be maxed out at 15?
If supplementation gives you more than the normal 15 seconds, does it give you more than 15 seconds just the first time you use it (eg: set one of bench press) or after a 2-5 min rest when you "reset" your stores, do you still get more than 15 seconds?
Thanks.
