This portrait photo of my nephew Ryan Ferguson taken over the Christmas holiday in Punta Gorda Isles, Florida. I was fortunate to have been asked by him to take photos for his new book entitled, "Stronger, Faster, Smarter" and I'm very proud of all that he has accomplished! You can visit him at ryanfergusonfitness.com
Note: I've created a new video that demonstrates how to process this portrait photo. I've uploaded it to the blog on my website. Go to SteveFrazierPhotography.com and click on the "Blog" menu option.

Creatine can rebuild APT. This is technically called triphosphate and it is a chemical in the body that powers your muscles. When you are lifting, ATP will help your muscles contract. With each contraction the amount of ATP in your system will decrease until you are full of it to the point where you cannot longer lift. The only way to replenish ATP in your muscles is with creatine.
Creatine will increase your ability to store glycogen. Your muscles use glycogen to fuel the anabolic process. You need to have an adequate amount of glycogen to help your muscles recover after an intense workout. By doing this, your muscles will grow bigger and faster as well.
The first thing that you can do is get a good nights rest. The tale is that lack of sleep can stunt your growth and this may be true. If you are not getting enough rest, GH levels will drop off and your body tissues will not grow at the optimal rate. When you are starting out, you should get to sleep early. GH is a hormone that is let out during the first part of your nights sleep. You should try to get the recommended amount of sleep for your age because cutting it back will cut the amount of time that GH is released in the body. For some bodybuilders, this means that your muscles will grow less during the day when you rest.
