FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Creatine Does Not Promote Dehydration or Rhabdomyolysis in Athletes

The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) is the leading professional organization in the field of sports nutrition. In 2007, the Research Committee of the ISSN formed a team of sport nutrition researchers, dietitians, and physicians to extensively review the available scientific literature on creatine supplementation and exercise and to develop a Position Stand for the Society which was published in the Journal of the International Society of Sport Nutrition (see: http://www.jissn.com/content/4/1/6).   After extensive review of the literature, the ISSN adopted the following positions relative to this issue:

1. Creatine monohydrate is the most effective ergogenic nutritional supplement currently available to athletes in terms of increasing high-intensity exercise capacity and lean body mass during training.
2. Creatine monohydrate supplementation is not only safe, but possibly beneficial in regard to preventing injury and/or management of select medical conditions when taken within recommended guidelines.
3. There is no scientific evidence that the short- or long-term use of creatine monohydrate has any detrimental effects on otherwise healthy individuals.
4. If proper precautions and supervision are provided, supplementation in young athletes is acceptable and may provide a nutritional alternative to potentially dangerous anabolic drugs.
5. At present, creatine monohydrate is the most extensively studied and clinically effective form of creatine for use in nutritional supplements in terms of muscle uptake and ability to increase high-intensity exercise capacity.
6. Creatine monohydrate has been reported to have a number of potentially beneficial uses in several clinical populations, and further research is warranted in these areas.

According to noted sports nutrition scientist Richard Kreider, Ph.D., FACSM, FISSN of Texas A & M University, "Many studies have been done (since the early 1990's) that show creatine does not cause dehydration, muscle damage, or increase susceptibility to heat-related illness in athletes involved in intense training in hot and humid environments.  If anything, research shows that creatine promotes hyperhydration (i.e., whole body fluid retention) leading to less thermogregulatory stress during intense exercise in the heat.  It is unfortunate that individuals unfamiliar with the creatine literature are speculating that creatine caused this problem when the athletes indicated they did not take creatine and they ignore the obvious precursors: excessive and inappropriate training in a hot and humid environment."

This weekend, at the APF NW Powerlifting Championship, Jay Papish returned to the platform to officially raw deadlift 463 pounds @ 160 pounds bodyweight and at 64 years of age. Not only is this an APF national raw record, but I think it's also the biggest raw deadlift in the country (maybe the world?), out of all the federations, for men ages 60-64 and in the 165 pound class. ( If you know of a higher record, please email the name of the lifter and the federation where the record was set. Seanzilla@HardcorePowerlifting.com )

Papish opened with an easy 407.5, which broke the previous APF national record before he made his successful jump to the 463. For his 3rd attempt he went for 502 pounds but his back got a bit rounded on the way up and consequently, he couldn't get his hips to lockout at the top.

Now Jay's trying to get his work schedule adjusted so he can attend the WPC Raw Worlds in Idaho Falls, Idaho (the weekend of September 4th) because he's turning 65 on the second of that month and he'd like to get that 502 raw deadlift in the 65-69 age division. Papish works in the E.R. of one of Portland's largest hospitals as a respiratory therapist so it's difficult for him to get entire weekends off but I'm sure he'll make it happen if it's an option that's made available to him.

In 2008, Jay won the lightweight class for his age group at the NPC Masters Nationals; one of the most competitive shows in the world for amateur masters bodybuilders.

It had been six years since Papish stepped onto a competition deadlifting platform. When he was 58 years old, he pulled 501.5 pounds in the 181 pound class, with the aide of a deadlift suit, in the WABDL federation.

I've known Jay for some time now and I've had the fun opportunity to write a feature on his gym sport accomplishments for Iron Man Magazine (April 2009 issue.) Jay asked me to start working with him on his deadlifting about two years ago and it's been a real inspiration to see his technique improve and his numbers climb. I'm confident that, as long as he stays healthy and avoids any serious injuries, that he'll get that 500 pound raw deadlift in the 65-69 year old division.

For the 2008 NPC Masters Nationals, Jay was sponsored by MHP ( Maximum Human Performance ) and they're still the product line that he uses for his nutritional supplementation and recovery needs.

At the 2010 APF NW Powerlifting Championship, Jay was sponsored by House Of Pain Ironwear and by HardcorePowerlifting.com
