Top 5 legal supplements...

Ok people list your top 5 supplements. If you could or do take only five what would they be. The obvious 2 are protein and creatine and most likely followed by Glutamine.

(I will skip whey for the same reasons that Prince noted) I would say a good multivitamin, R-ALA, Glutamine, Glucosomine/Chondroitin/MSM, EFAs/MCT oil. During cutting, I would never go without my high doses of HMB, though.

They also have to live in a cardboard box on my front lawn, and work 8AM to 7PM, just to be able to afford them...

Im so glad I never got sucked into that crap when I was an uber-n00b.

I dont know about r-ala, but I would say that the cla is pretty useless unless dosed highly, and the dhea is useless, unless youre over 35...

I might be wrong, its happened before!

But you could buy a tub of CEE at BN for twenty bones, and itll last for three months, and you dont have to take it with 8 square pounds of dextrose.

Try
1. Nail your diet down, PAT, we have Jodi and Emma, the freaking diet masters, over in diet and nutrition
2. Try a new training routine, maybe P/RR/S
3. CEE instead of creatine monohydrate, http://www.bulknutrition.com/?products_id=1618
4. L-Glutamine
5. AND MAYBE an arginine product, I personally like Di-arginine malate, its a little pricey, but it works well. www.bulknutrition.com has lots of em

FishOrCutBait you seem to like CEE from what have seen in this thread and amoung others, i was actually woundering about trying some out, ive never had any gains on creatine monohydrate and was woundering if CEE is obsorbed differently or something, because ive heard that non-reactres to regular creatine react to CEE....just wanted to know what you and the other guys on here think before i spend some money. thanks!
