The Top 3 Muscle Building Supplements Revealed
3 Biggest Skinny Guy Mistakes You're Making. Click Here to Avoid Them!
I’m not going to sit here and bash the multi-billion dollar muscle building supplement industry, that isn’t my goal. My goal here is simply to share with you all, my opinion on what supplements actually do what they claim.
Can You Build The Body of Your Dreams Without These?
Absolutely! I personally was able to transform my body without any supplements (Other than whey protein). However, now that I am a little more advanced I am considering adding these supplements to my program in order to give me that extra edge. Remember, these are not magic pills or powders that are going to do the work for you. They are simply going to give you a 5% difference if and only is your diet and training program are in order.
My goal here is to…
- Save you money
- Give you that extra edge
- Save you a ton of wasted time
Top 3 Muscle Building Supplements
Whey Protein:
Whey protein is by far the most common and most effective muscle building supplement on the market. Problem is, most people consume the whey protein but have no idea why it is so important to their physical and performance goals. Not only is this product the highest quality protein you can put in your body, but it is also the one your body absorbs the quickest. Whey is a complete source of protein that contains all 8 of the amino acids your body needs and is also high in BCAA. These branch chain amino acids are excellent for protecting your body from muscle breakdown.
Can we get this from whole foods?
Yes, however, for most people this is just not practical. Because of whey proteins powder to liquid form, it is extremely convenient for anyone.
Creatine Monohydrate
Although there is a lot of bad talk about this supplement, creatine is actually one of the most widely researched sports supplements available.
Creatine will…
- Increase your strength in the gym
- Increase muscle cell volume
- Decrease lactic acid build up
- Improve your recovery
Essential Fatty Acids
These are what most people call “the good fats”, they have hundreds if not thousands of benefits. Some of these benefits include:
- Increase anabolic hormone levels
- Improving insulin action
- Increasing energy production
- And speeding up your metabolism
The most common method of consuming your essential fatty acids is through fish oil capsules. Although there are other forms of supplementation for this particular product, fish oil capsules is what I recommend.
Other supplements that may work for you are:
Multi-vitamins:
As someone who trains 3-4 days a week or more while following a high protein diet, your vitamin and mineral requirements are higher than your average person.
Glutamine:
This is the ultimate amino acid when it comes to repairing your muscles and recovery. Glutamine levels drop drastically during intense training, therefore taking a glutamine supplement following your workout is ideal in order to maximize your muscle gains.
Final Word
Well there you have it, just remember that although I feel very strongly about these supplements, this is simply my opinion. I hope I was able to answer any of your supplementation questions with this brief post. Please feel free to contact me with any questions in the comment section below. Thanks and happy lifting!
