Supplement For Success!!

Everyone wants to obtain a certain look, feel, physical capability etc etc. Everybody wants "that body". Everybody wants to be in great shape. The main problem with most people is they don't have or know the tools that they need to help reach their goals. In this short blog I will touch upon some supplements that I have dealt with for quite some time that have helped me reach or come close to the goals that I have set before me. In essence, supplements for me are a way of convenience. Supplements give me the ability to take in certain nutrients that I might not necessarily come across on an everyday basis or I might just not have enough time to get from whole foods. Here is a list that I believe everyone should at least try for the next 8 week challenge. They will help you reach your goal at a faster rate and will give you the ability to train like you've never trained before. I have worked in the nutrition field for over 7 years now, so I have come pretty close to sorting out the garbage mainstream media advertised supplements.

Protein ; for those of you that are striving to burn fat and gain muscle (lean out) I urge you to try the dymatize elite gourmet protein. It has 22 grams of protein per serving and less than 150 calories. Imagine if you cut 2 meals per day that average 300 calories and substitute it with a simple protein shake. You will be reducing your caloric intake by 300 calories per day!! Not only that but you will be supplementing with something that will be feeding your body the proper nutrients to build muscle and burn fat.

Creatine : Maximize v2 by iforce nutrition. Now this supplement will give your body the ability to workout longer and harder than you ever have before. Say you workout 5 times per week, 30 minutes longer than previously. That is an extra 150 minutes of fat burning hard work that you expend per week. That is over 600 minutes per month!! It's a simple method of compound interest put into a body formula. The longer and harder you workout throughout the months the faster results come!!!

Aminos : While cutting calories during a diet you typically lose muscle mass due to the simple fact that you are taking away nutrients. An easy way to spare or build muscle while cutting is by supplementing with amino acids. Amino acids are called upon for muscle building/recovery. When the body is starved of certain building blocks of muscle your body will actually utilize real muscle tissue for energy. By taking a concentrated version of aminos your body is actually able to store or build muscle even though you are restricting calories to burn fat. The best supplement in my opinion is VPX Power shock!

In closing, with what scott posted in the previous post and these supplements that I have listed here can be a great combination to help you attain the goals that you strive for. Give it a shot, what do any of you have to lose?! You now have the tools and knowledge so there is no excuse anymore! Go out there and attain the goals that you have set for yourself.

Protein : dymatize elite gourmet
Creatine / pre-workout : Maximize v2 by Iforce

  1. For short-duration explosive sports, such as sprinting, weight lifting and other anaerobic exercises, ATP is the energy system used. Creatine increases energy of muscles by increasing the amount of ATP. And hence we can take these supplements for success.
