Not a supplement...but know what you're saying

 

[arbntmare]

hmm mind is an ingredient that is essential.. or it the supplement doesn't work.. oh wait it works for pro players

Diet is the most important aspect. Abundance of quality food while gaining/bulking. Creatine,protein,glutamine are the most important supplements. Cutting up supplements would consist of protein, ECA Stack and possibly glutamine. 1-2 gallons of H2O while dieting makes a huge difference. The use of creatine while cutting is up for debate. Helps some while others hold H2O.Don't look past hard work and discipline they are the real keys to success.

i agree with the water.

water and a good variety of foods.

1. Most important is Protein (can???t get enough of it)
2. Multivitamins
3. Creatine
4. Glutamine

I stick to only those 4, Never tried anything else.

Well....as I`ve stated before, water isn`t a supp, but you can`t grow without it

Or live for that matter!

 

[oe40luvr]

as far as "supplements" go (because that is what the question was), i like creatine, protein, HMB, and glutamine

 

[vinman]

whey protein is the most important supplement.

 

[JonZ]

I think a good protein powder is indespensible.

 

[ksiebert]

About Cell-Tech, I think it's a waste of $$$. I've tried it, and the only thing it did was burn my throat a bit when I swallowed it. Other than that, it just cost a lot of $. A good creatine/vanadyl combonation would be cheaper and better!

I think Muscletech is all about promoting a crappy product!

 

[negaun]

whey protein

 

[wheete]

#1 Whey protein
#2 Creatine
#3 Glutamine
#4 Multivitamine or Vitamin C alone

GoPro,

you said creatine is a good supp. when used correctly. What do you mean by this. Are we talking about mg. per day, beverage consumed with, or how often you take it.

All of it...by correctly I mean, after it is loaded in to your system (whether by a "loading phase" or a gradual increase), it should be taken post workout on training days...5 g with whey/simple carb drink, and first thing in the morning on off days.

You must use a quality brand...SKW creatine is the best...and although this can be argued...I have had the BEST results long term by using it for 3 months on and 1 month off. When I go back on I will "reload" at 20-25 grams per day for 5-7 days.

Everytime I do this, I break new plateaus in my training, and sometimes bodyweight. When I have stayed on constantly, my long term results were not as good.

 

[razorblade]

Yeah, I agree that the poll should have said " most important SUPPLEMENTS" as I use almost all of them. Since turning drug free I have tried to focus on recovery and accelerating protein synthesis, so : glutamine, creatine, hi-quality food, multi's, zinc and folic acid(for improved testicular function, and they grew!) bcaa's,l-arginine, I guess that's it . Oh yeah, a glucose amino acid mixture immediately before and after workouts.

 

[stam]

whey is the best/more important.

I've been using Cell-Tech/Nitro-Tech for 3 1/2 months. In the first 4 weeks I lost 14 pounds of fat and 2 inches off my weist. In the next 1 1/2 months, I put back on 16 pounds of muscle (without the 2 inches), however in the last month, I've only been able to add another 1.5 pounds. I'm not sure if that's because I cycled off the creatine for a month or not. I'm also trying to find a cheaper protein that also has decent BCAA'sa and glutamine so I don't have to but that separate.

Gotta be protein. Without enough of it, the other supplements aren't going to do you much good for muscle growth.

Gotta be Protein ! Dont Argue !!!!

Glutamine , protein & a mult vit with oxi ants are the only supplements I think all people need. Question, do any of those HGH precursors work. For instance, secretagogue. There is a HGH precursor spray advertised on the internet that they are giving away for free as long as you pay for the shipping & handling. I have friends that say those under the tongue sprays work. I cannot see them working because I was told HGH can only be ...!

 

[conner1979]

What about designer Protien? or Mega Mass? Is it better than Whey protien?

The homeopathic HGH sprays are worthless...the secretagoues, like Symbiotropin and Secretagogue One do work pretty well if used as directed....on an EMPTY stomach before bed and/or before a workout.

I have used both of these products with nice results.
