How does creatine increase strength and muscle mass if its just a carbohydrate?I thought only protein could do that because it repairs cells.I heard that creatine just fills your muscles with water making them look bigger.

Creatine loading allows the ATP-PC shuttle system to go a little longer. Do a search on the net for the 'Krebs cycle' and you should get all the info. you need.

There is a big thread on creatine in one of the forums here.
Also Peak Performance have an excellent report which I am slowly trecking my way through!
Most good physiology test books also give a description on the importance of creatine within the energy cycles and why creatine loading can be important.

helps you re-make ATP again after it has been used up, giving yourself more immediate energy.
