Review: Con-Crét Snake Fruit

Creatine is a staple in most lifters daily supplements. Quite frankly, I have tried quite a few, and I honestly have enjoyed most all of them that I have used. But by far my favorite is one that I have only recently started using. Con-Crét is a brand most in the fitness world have heard of. I even heard about it before I got into shape myself. The package is kind of appealing. I mean, it does look like a caution sign. But Con-Crét really separates itself from the rest besides the packaging. Most creatine supplements use creatine monohydrate, most that I have used contain this form of creatine. But Con-Crét uses creatine HCL.

I wont go into the difference and advantages over one form of creatine compared to the next for the simple fact that I don't have that kind of time, and I am not an expert on creatine. I put into my body what I feel gets me the best results and doesn't taste like crap.

With Con-Crét Snake Fruit, I felt absolute zero bloating, while still getting a pretty good pump. The pump could be better, but it also depends on what I'm doing. I also noticed being able to go much higher with my reps, or depending on what I was working, being able to go much heavier. My first leg day using Con-Crét I was able to go from 465 lbs leg presses up to 528 lbs let presses. I also noticed substantial strength and improvement in my deadlifts. Unlike the creatine I've used in the past, I didn't retain water on the days that I used Con-Crét either. This is normally a side effect that I notice quite a bit when using creatine monohydrate. Most of all though, the taste is out of this world. I am big on my liquid supplements tasting good or at least decent. Snake Fruit has a great taste, and it even tastes good when stacking it with Beta-Crét Pineapple.

This will be my creatine of choice moving forward. While I will still use other creatines, Con-Crét will be the first I reach for. Price wise it is a bit more expensive than Monohydrates, but if you are looking to try something different, I would give this a go. Plus you can often find it on a good sale over at bodybuilding.com

Don't use the Holidays as an Excuse

We are in the middle of the holiday season, with the biggest of the holidays just a couple days away. It's during this time of the year that people really let their lifestyles relax. People naturally want to pig out and make unhealthy choices during this time of year. We pack ourselves full of food for Thanksgiving, load up on sweets and food for Christmas and pretty much live sedentary lives the last 2 months of the year because we want to use the holidays as an excuse. Well Stop!

 

Using the holiday season as an excuse to not eat right and not workout is like saying you don't have time to eat right and exercise. It's just an excuse. It's ok to indulge a little during the holidays, but at the same time you need to be conscious of the decisions you are making. You don't need to eat so much that you have a food baby by the end of the day!
