Creatine & Hyrox

Creatine supplementation can be a useful strategy for Hyrox athletes. With regular intake, we can expect improvements in maximal strength and power output, including performance in repeated high-intensity efforts such as sprints.

A common concern is a slight increase in body weight, which may potentially reduce running performance. However, when supported by proper technique and strength application, this additional mass can become an advantage at several strength-based stations.

Overall, the performance benefits of creatine appear to outweigh the potential drawbacks for Hyrox competition.

Muscle loading protocol

Option 1 – Loading phase:

20 g/day (split into several doses) for 5–6 days

→ followed by 3–5 g/day maintenance

Option 2 – No loading phase:

3 g/day for approximately 28 days

The choice depends on how much time you have before your race and when you want to maximize creatine saturation.
