Supplements that Really matter.

Hey y'all!

Long time no post:P

I was just busy trying to figure out what a f9ck I was going to talk to you about when it struck me!
Everyday trainees that come to my gym don't know sh1t about which are the supplements that really matter for fitness/bodybuilding nutrition and I think this phenomenon will likely be more often than not.


So today, I'll give you a brief overview of what (in my opinion) are the essential Supplements especially for people who like to have brutal workouts and give their best no matter if they're just training for recreation.


Ok, here's a small list that I think is essential (Yes it is small despite the number of supplements).

• A good protein supplement. 

This is a No-Brainer actually, because it will help you fill your daily protein requirements and keep your Nitrogen balance positive so you can have muscle anabolism and thus, growth.
As I said noumerous times before, I'd go with beef protein because it is just a superior muscle builder, proven itself to me personally (I use the thing) and that's the end of discussion. No lactose, no cholesterol, no fat, NO problem.

• A good mutlivitamin supplement.

Choose a product designed for athletes and bodybuilders because if you workout hard you have more requirements in micronutrients and co-factors than average people and that means your micronutrient supplement selection should be based on your needs.

• A good joint support supplement.

This is a must for anyone that has stiff joints or had joint injuries in the past and want to train with full intensity. I advise to take supplement that contain. Glucosamine, chondroitin, or msm, and/or a cissus supplement. This supplement will help to keep your joints lubricated and increase joint mobility.

• An Omega Complex Supplement.

This one is almost always missed! People often neglect the anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits of the omega fatty acids complex, not to mention the fat loss benefits offered by this fatty acids complex. Try for yourself and you tell me the results in 3 months.

This is not an end all be all list but in my opinion this list contains the essentials for better and healthier you. You could add creatine and glutamine in this list to complete it but you could add numerous other supps depending on your training goals and training level.

That's all the basic for now and as we move on and I learn about new stuff in my everyday search, I will tell you about it.

My goal here is to provide as much value as possible.

Until the next post.

Pre Workout Nutrition & Supplementation

Hey!

Crazy MOFO fitness & bodybuilding blogger here!

Today we'll talk about pre-workout nutrition & supplementation.

First things first, as with the post workout nutrition we should know what are going to do in terms of kind and intensity of exercise. 

I'll give you some tips on terms of Pre-Workout nutrition, assuming you are going balls to the wall in the gym.

Ok, on the carbohydrate side of things, we're aiming for medium GI carbs 2-2.5 hours before workout. That means Brown rice, sweet potato, oatmeal and the likes are our friends.

Eat a quantity you can digest in 2 hours otherwise you'll find yourself puking in the gym toilet :) These kinds of carbohydrates will give you a good, sustainable of energy that will keep long enough to annihilate your muscles.

On the protein side of things, we want a full protein source like beef protein (contains good amounts of creatine which will help you in your training).

You may also like a multi - source protein. It will help you too.

You might use a good creatine or pre-workout supplement.

I suggest, to use an alkylated creatine cause it tends to have better absorption and no need for loading. I'll be reviewing good pre-workout supplements and various other supps in upcoming episodes.

A brief post is over but I think a gave you a good guideline of a good pre-training approach.

Until Next Post,

Go and Kick Some SERIOUS Arse :)
