[QUOTE="7thFloorRA, post: 549715, member: 3717"] Creatine is supposed to let you get out an extra few lifting reps when normally you would reach fatigue and failure. It adds water weight and the rash of baseball hamstring injures over 10 years ago were attributed to it. I don't think the benefit of getting a few extra reps in the gym is worth potentially missing time on the field. I have said many times before that I only have 2 issues...1 with the Athletic Training staff and 1 with the Strength Staff. It seems like the ACL rehabs take FOREVER in Green Bay compared to other teams. I am very interested to see how Bulaga's rehab goes. It sounded like he only had an ACL injury and not all of the other additional things that tend to occur along with it. If he isn't back for day one of training camp I will renew my concerns over this issue. As for the Strength Staff....I put the hamstrings on them. It wasn't just one or two or three it was a lot and more than half the defensive backs all had them this year. Being a CSCS and trying to use some deductive reasoning.....it is my theory that Lovat is having them do some exercises that are making the quad to hamstring strength ratio too quad dominant. I don't like the new found love for the front squat for this reason. IMO....back squat with full ROM, dead lift, physioball hamstring curls and maximal backward sprints are the way to keep those hammy's in shape. I have only had 2 athletes injure theirs in 8 years....1 was day to day and it was from lunging at first base and awkwardly hitting it out of stride and the other was pretty mild and a 2 week return to full go deal.
