I am a mixed martial arts competitor (ultimate fighter) getting ready for my debut fight in November. To aid with my training regimen I have been supplementing Creatine Ethyl Ester.

My goal was to pack on some lean muscle mass to increase my metabolism and at the same time become stronger and more powerful. In late July I weighed in at 175 lbs and my bodyfat was measured at 9.5%. I then spent the next six weeks concentrating to a serious weight resistance regimen and began taking Creatine Ethyl Ester before and after my weight training.

I immediately felt the effects of this supplement as I was able to complete more repetitions and lift heavier weight in the gym. Every week I became stronger as I started lifting heavier weight than ever before.

I noticed increased muscle mass all over my body, especially in my legs. After six weeks of intense weight training I decided to take another bodyfat test. I physically felt much bigger and was a little hesitant to hear what my bodyfat % was. However I was pleasantly surprised! I weighed in at 178 lbs. My body fat had actually dropped to 6.3%. The trainer explained that I lost 5lbs of body fat and gained an incredible 8lbs of muscle. He later commented to me "I don't need to write you a program....because whatever your doing....its definitely working." As it turns out my metabolism increased dramatically through weight training.

My muscle gains were due to a combination of a solid weight resistance program, plenty of rest, proper dieting and the use of the right bodybuilding supplements. Creatine Ethyl Ester gave me an extra push to help me realize my optimal lean muscle gains.
