Supplements are HUGE in the bodybuilding world. In the last 4 to 5 years supplements brands such as muscle tech and Optimum Nutrition have lead the new revolution of nutrition.
Supplements are spread threw thousands of pages in every fitness or muscle mag today. They are more in demand today then ever before. Beginners to advance gym users are all experimenting with all types of supplements.
Now I want to quickly discuss some of these supplements, and give my opinion on what are the best 5 supplements on the market for muscle growth.
Protein- Muscles are made from protein building blocks called amino acids. When we lift weights we effectively tear our muscles, commonly referred to as micro tears. Tearing the muscle forces our body to use amino acids and other nutrients to go threw the bloodstream and into the muscle. By having a higher protein consumption it allows our bodies to recover faster.
Types of protein
Whey protein - Fast release protein, ideal for using after workout due to amino acid content which will fasten up recovery.
Casein Protein - Has a slower absorption rate from the stomach and small intestine so the blood amino acid levels don't rise as quickly.Casein Is best used as a night time protein because it allows our bodies to have high levels of amino acids while resting.
Creatine- Creatine is created naturally in the body. The way Creatine is used is that it acts as a fuel source to our ATP system, which is our short term energy system. Once a phosphate molecule is lost making us lose the energy for the ATP system, Therefore fatiguing. Creatine is used as a fuel to allow further use of our ATP system.
Creatine Monohydrate and Micronized Creatine are two forms of creatine to be used.
Nitric Oxides- NO is used to give more blood to the organs when needed. For example, When your arms need more blood supply to perform a lift.
Muscle tech - NA Vapor
Gaspiri Nutrition - Super Pump 250 are all brands of Nitric Oxides.
Fat Loss Pills - Some weight loss pills work by blocking an enzyme that controls the absorption of fat by the body. When fat cannot be used by the body, it enters the intestines and eventually is excreted. So If you chose to take them it is important to have a low fat diet because side effects can include pain, bloating, cramping, and diarrhea. Muscle tech Hydroxy Cut is one example of a fat burning pill.
My Top 5 muscle building supplements and nutrition include:
1. Whey Protein
2. Casein Protein
3. Creatine Monohydrate
4. Glut amine
5. FOOD and lots of it.
