Supplementation is not a "magic pill." They do not directly or single handily help you gain muscle mass nor help you lose weight if those are your goals. They are intended to do exactly what they are suppose to do, that is to "SUPPLEMENT" your diet. If you get tired of eating pounds of chicken breast for protein, sure a serving of a protein powder would be optimal as to "supplement" your diet to help you reach you protein intake for the day and to reach you daily caloric goals. Hence, if you want to gain muscle mass, its not because you are not taking the "RIGHT SUPPLEMENTS" its simply probably because you're not eating enough calories to put on weight. Anywho, hope that helps make sense:
Here is a list of what I take. Pretty much just the basics!: (BTW, protein is protein, whether you buy the most expensive brand or the cheapest brand. Sure you might get better protein absorption from a more Legit Pure brand, but for the price of grams of protein per serving, cost ends up to be roughly the same whether its a name brand or off brand! just a little info to know)
Protein:
- Currently taking MuscleTech Phase8, because it was on sale!!! Got 9 pounds for $60
- Favorite is probably: Trunutrition Trutein Protein
- Also have a tub of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey (pretty good stuff here, not that many ingredients, which to me means that it is less "processed" and less fillers)
- 5 grams of Optimum Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate
- 5 grams of Beta Alanine
- 5 grams of Citrulline Malate
- 200 mg Caffeine Pill
- (mix into water, add miyo flavoring for flavor)
- BCAAs: Currently taking Optimum Nutrition Aminoenergy
- Favorite BCAAs: Xtend by Scivation
Fish oil
