Description

After 10+ years in the saddle, Anthony finally tried creatine—and the results weren’t what he expected. In this episode, he breaks down the full story: the gains, the weight, the sprint numbers, and the myths that got shattered along the way. Does creatine actually help cyclists?

What happens to your weight, power, and recovery? And is it worth the hype for endurance riders—or just sprinters? Alongside Sarah, Anthony dives into the science, the data, and the real-world impact of 30 days on creatine. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or already loading up, this deep-dive strips away the noise and gives you the honest answer: is creatine a game-changer or just another supplement fad?
