Bodybuilding Supplements

I've never thought of it this way and this guy just totally opened my eyes to supplements and thinking about if they really work or not. Wondering what all of you think who do or do not take supplements?

right now the only supplement i take is whey protein because my diet doesn't have enough protein in it.

Personally if your diet is in check the only supplements i would recommend are fish oil and a good multivitamin.

i take fish oil but should probably take a multi

I recently started taking creatine and I have noticed a huge improvement

Creatine works really well

I heard of creatine. Is it like a protein supplement? I only have whey protein.

Creatine works.
I know guys who have gotten HUGE off that stuff.

Whey protein powder/casein protein powder.
I take this stuff and it helps me get my protein in, build muscle, and help recovery. Definitely works.

Pre-workout supplements.
I've taken NOXplode and Juggernaut and both absolutely work. They both gave me a huge boost of energy during workouts allowing me to lift harder and longer in my sessions.

Basically, I know a lot of supplements work. If not, they wouldn't be used by bodybuilders and weightlifters around the world.

Of course this skinny little weak bitch is going to try to knock supplements. He probably can't even bench press 75 pounds hahahahaha

Also.... people don't necessarily need any supplements to get big or gain muscle, but they absolutely work for the most part. If you train hard and are eating the right diet, you don't need any supplements.

I would say supplements are like kief, you don't necessarily need to get it off the bottom of the grinder to get you high, just the regular nugs will do, but it's an added bonus that definitely takes you over the top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This dude is an idiot. Based on the way he dismissed natural bodybuilders he sounds like one of those guys who thinks anybody bigger and stronger than him is on the juice.

Thanks for the laughs.

I've got an shake mix with whey protein, creatine, and a handful of vitamins. S'all I need (hopefully lol).

I take creatine, protein, multi and fish oil. Sometimes pre-workouts because I go into god-mode...but not too often. I don't think protein powder is better than whole foods...but I take it because it's so convenient and cheap. (I can get 50g per dollar.) I used to take 3 cans of chicken with me to school everyday lol...not anymore though...got sick of that.

pretty much all hardcore supplements are garbage. The basics such as protein, and creatine work the best. If youre lookin for a good preworkout jack3d, acg3, and c4 are devastating

Shroomtech

I don't body build, but I have been kickboxing competitively for the past three years. I've used a fair amount of pre-workout supplements and shroomtech sport has been the most effective for me. Definitely worth checking out if any of you are exercising intensely or compete in some sport, it's always given me a huge boost once I start to feel worn out. Check it! (and yeah if you use coupon code: SENTIENT, it'll be 10% off. trying to get sponsored by these guys!)

EDIT: Yes, you can take shroomtech alongside supplements like JACK3D.

GAT Nitraflex was a great pre-workout for me, it also raises testosterone. It gave me a pump about 3-5x better and longer than jack3d.

Oh, and that dude doesn't know what he's talking about.

If you diet is in check, you DON'T need a multivitamin.

I take a pre workout (Lit up). A multi vitamin, and protein.

that dude is a skinny little bitch hahah HAHAHA i mean its different if he was built and defending his naturalness with his results but this dude (like someone else said) seems like the type to assume everyone is on the juice. he looks like a toothpick. or should i say que tip since hes hairier then me o.O

If you diet is in check, you DON'T need a multivitamin.

this is BS everyone should take a multi vitamin

this is BS everyone should take a multi vitamin

Why? If your getting everything you need with a healthy diet, then ur just pissing most of those vitamins away. I still take one cus I don't eat enough veggies

I stick to three supps. Protein (because I don't get enough to gain otherwise), pre-workout (right now using mp's assault and am loving it), and a multivitamin. Different people need to supplement different things based on their daily needs vs their daily intake
