Answer: As an energy source utilized in anaerobic conditions
Creatine is used to form creatine phosphate, a high energy compound. When ATP stores are low during anaerobic conditions, the phosphate breaks from the creatine molecule, releasing free energy. This energy is used to form more ATP, and hence energy. Creatine supplements should therefore be taken before and after workouts for optimum results.

Answer: Charles Atlas
According to Charles Atlas himself, he was that 97-pound weakling whose humiliation at the hands of a bully on the beach caused him to develop and pursue an obsessive interest in fitness and strength. A visit to the zoo, where he saw the big cats doing little more than stretching, yet maintaining a well-muscled appearance, supposedly gave him the idea for the "Dynamic Tension" method of exercise. "Dynamic Tension" relies on movements that pit the force produced by one set of muscles against that produced by another. Practitioners maintain that the benefits are twofold: the likelihood of injury during exercise is reduced, since as the muscles grow tired they will produce less force; and the long term benefit is greater than traditional exercises, since as the muscles grow stronger they are able to produce more force.
In the 1920s, Atlas wrote the fitness course that became "Dynamic Tension", and went into business. By astute marketing and advertising of both himself and his course, they both became known worldwide and he became the icon to which many young men aspired.
Some of the well-known names in other sports started with a Charles Atlas course, among them Rocky Marciano, who was heavyweight boxing champion in the 1950s, and the legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio; later bodybuilders such as Steve Reeves and Arnold Schwarzenegger were also inspired by Atlas.

Answer: Posedown
In the minds of many people, the posedown is what epitomises the bodybuilding contest. As a child, I recall my eyes bulging nearly as much as the bodybuilders' muscles as I watched, fascinated, while large men contorted their bodies into seemingly impossible shapes.
Of course, the purpose is to show off the development and symmetry of different muscle groups. There are mandatory poses and optional poses and, as with any sport involving creative expression, the object is to perform a posing routine with a degree of originality and flair that will catch the eyes of the judges as well as meeting the mandatory requirements.

Answer: Round 3

Answer: Natural bodybuilding
Natural bodybuilding rejects the use of many of the substances and supplements used in mainstream bodybuilding, such as steroids, hormones and diuretics. Competitive natural bodybuilders are tested frequently for a variety of banned substances, and violations can result in a total ban on entering future competitions. The substances tested for can vary between the different regulatory bodies and organisations, as there are many of these involved in the sport, even within a single country.
Bodybuilding will probably arouse strong opinions and controversy for many years, as it is not only a sport that can increase strength and fitness, but is also one that can easily be carried to extreme: whatever your opinion of the sport, the fact remains that body modification of any sort is, and probably always will be, a matter of personal choice.
