Thread: What supplements would be good for me...

I've been drinking a BCAA shake between meals and as part of my post workout shake. Some say to drink a BCAA mix during your workout.

Check out the IronMagLabs store for whey isolate and other supps. Link in my sig.

At 36 you might want to add a joint supp. I've got ten years and more on you and my elbows, knees, and shoulders need all the support they can get.

Creatine is another "bread and butter" supplement you might consider. Many swear by it.

IronMagLabs has whey, creatine, and a joint supp but, of course, it's always good to look for feedback from friends or online.

Best wishes and welcome back to the gym!

After reading and digging around.. i came to conclusion that BCAA are waste of money.. as long as you're getting enough protein in your diet, your body has more than enough partitioning capacity to supply the needed cells with amino acids. Look into it if ya save some bucks....

Unless you plan on doing any fasted training, don't bother with the BCAAs. Since you'll be putting on muscle, your diet and whey supplementation will contain sufficient aminos.

Your friend had a good suggestion. BCAAs are great to take. Youre doing well with the multivitamin and protein, those two should definitely be staples. Creatine is so inexpensive that its ridiculous not to take! lol. Some supplemental arginine would probably be a good idea, and it is relatively cheap as well. It will help with pumps and shuttle more nutrients to the cells.

try a test booster.

I would add in some creatine, fish oil, multi-v and a reasonable protein to supplement your intake. Once your gains stall, possibly look into a 60 day run of a natty teset booster of your choice. Orbit has a lot of options for all of the things mentioned above, PM me if you would like help picking some out that are all reasonably priced. We also sell Iron Mags products if you want to use some of theirs.

Good, idea - didnt even think of that. Yes at your age, 36, a test booster would be a great idea! there are lots of good ones out there. Heard some good things about T-Bomb II and its decently priced.

im about to pull the trigger on a test booster I'm leaning towards animal stak. check it out.

A test booster like HCGenerate will increase your natural testosterone levels and provide you with MANY benefits to the body. The advantages of testosterone boosters is acutally incredible, IMO.
It helps individual to develop muscle mass, muscle strength, muscle proportion, shape and muscle power; psychological advantage for male which is increasing sex drive for both young and adult; it increases libido and aids in erectile dysfunction; in some studies, it shows that an individual with a good level of testosterone has a lower risk of developing a cardiovascular diseases and erectile dysfunction; it also helps an individual to gain higher endurance and stamina.

I know it's a bit "old school" around here, but I don't think much other than a good diet and some Whey protein is needed. Maybe a multi-vitamin, fish oil and some Creatine if you like. Never been much of a fan of most of the products out there, and things can get spendy fast. All of the above is relatively cheap. I think you are better off focusing on your diet and spending your money on food. I would suggest checking out some of the threads in the diet and nutrition section, and checking out the workout logs to see how different folks are training. Good luck!

Can you take a test booster and a stack like Andro at the same time?

What other Testosterone boosters do you guys recommended? thanks

take the basic supps. fish oil, creatine (your choice what kind), BCAAs, multi, whey protein.

BCAAs aren't a waste, but you do need to use them strategically. Ive found them most beneficial on a cut, but you can benefit from them in other situations as well.

thanks for your suggestions.

P.S. Do you know if Allmax Nutrition TribX90 are any good? because i could have a great deal on them
