On this week’s episode of the Escape Your Limits Podcast, Jerry Brainum is returning for his second interview by popular demand. He has a distinguished background as a competitive bodybuilder who trained alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger during the 70s.

Beyond his achievements in bodybuilding, he boasts over 30 years of experience in researching and writing about all aspects of fitness. His remarkable career includes serving as the editor of Muscle and Fitness magazine for a decade, as well as being an editor-at-large for Flex magazine and a regular contributor to Ironman magazine for 28 years.

In our last interview, he debunked the truth of steroids, bodybuilding, and the deathly effects of “safe supplements.”

Today, he passionately shares:
• The drawbacks of Ozempic and other fat loss burners as a weight loss solution
• The only drug that is known to extend lifespan even in middle-age people
• And the science behind creatine, where it comes from, and whether it is necessary to phase on and off the supplement

I've been taking creatine for many years now. I'm 67 years old and I can tell you it works.

As a kidney doctor, his talk about creatine and creatinine is impressively accurate (also his discussion w/ ATP and other physiology he mentions). Jerry Brainum has always been one of my favorite bodybuilders from the Golden Era. Such a wealth of knowledge

This guy did an excellent job in terms of explaining the biochemistry of creatine and how it is connected to ATP, our energy currency. To some up what he said for those who are interested... ATP is the energy currency of cells, storing and transferring energy. Creatine plays a role in this process by keeping a high-energy phosphate group as creatine phosphate. When the cell needs energy, the phosphate group from creatine phosphate can be transferred to ADP, reforming ATP. This transfer is facilitated by an enzyme called creatine kinase. By shuttling phosphate groups between creatine phosphate and ADP, cells can quickly regenerate ATP for energy-demanding activities. This mechanism helps provide a rapid and accessible energy source, especially during intense muscle contractions.

What I have noticed on Creatine. Lifting weights much more robust workouts and with quicker recovery between sets. I went off Creatine for a couple weeks and lost 14 pounds 😳. But also my work outs suffered so I went straight back on. 59 year old Male. Lifting full body three days a week

7:44 that's the best and only explanation of why a 2-3min rest between sets is absolutely required.

Creatine is the most studied supplement in the world by thousands of scientists and Drs! They are using it now on elderly people and had been proven to help short term memory, arthritis and many other benefits!

Bill Phillips is the man who made creatine popular in the late 80s, early 90s. EAS, Phosphagen was the product.

The reason they put creatine in pre-workout supplements is because it's a cheap filler. It doesn't matter what time of day you take creatine since you build it up in your body over time. Save your money on pre-workout powder and just drink a cup of coffee before you work out.
