sick of being a fat sad cunt so signed up to the gym and I've been going for a few weeks and have been really enjoying it, feeling confident, more alpha etc. Gonna take this shit seriously.
I got some protein and creatine.
What supplements are essential?
BCAA? L-GLUTA?
which ones offer best results and which are bullshit?
currently 170lb 5ft11 and am in 3/10 shape. around 20% bf Goal is to be a lean 160lb animal. something like mma fighter mode
You have the essentials. All the other stuff is supplementary
Julian Hall
fish oil, melatonin, whey
what else could a man need besides test-e and dbol
Oliver Adams
the only acceptable supp is whey protein powder. Anything else is a scam that doesnt do anything but waste money
Evan Fisher
If you’re taking creatine you’ll also need fin to counteract the balding effects
Jaxon Lopez
fish oil and melatonin are legit
t. examine.com
Wyatt Morales
melatonin isnt a dietary supplement
Asher Hill
is this really true? or only when loading? im only taking 5g per day
Jaxon Cruz
Zinc, Vit D3, Fish Oil, ZMA
Samuel Allen
>zinc >ZMA
fucking brainlet
Mason Diaz
What does melatonin even do except make you sleep
Benjamin Allen
sleep is important to gains idiots
Leo Lewis
Shit, didn't catch that.
Hunter Davis
Will Zinc, Magnesium, Melatonin and Vitamin D have that much of an effect if I take all of them every day??
Robert Bailey
does bcaa powder do anything
Josiah Wood
pls reply
Julian Wood
Why don't you try it out? For me it helps a little bit, but if you think it's gonna be a world of a difference you're mistaken
Aiden Price
YO help me out, I’m looking for the most stim powered preworkout that has citrulline but NO creatine
Christian Ross
Bro just sprinkle some gnar pump on top of all of your meals
Wyatt Barnes
I just started today. I have shitty sleep all the time so I guess it could help with gains lost to poor sleep. But what about zinc, magnesium and vitamin D? Is it true they raise your test?
Aiden James
Most adults in the US at least are vitamin D deficient. I take it because I don't go outside enough or eat enough mushrooms. You prolly should too.
Zinc and magnesium are good if you can find smaller doses to round out these micros if you don't get enough through diet or ejaculate a lot. Be careful supping these because the part Jow Forums didn't tell you while shilling these is that their safe upper intakes are relatively close to their RDAs and you will get toxicity that results in a bunch of awful shit if you take too much. Magnesium for example can give you heart issues or straight up kill you. Use cronometer to track micros it helps a lot.
Melatonin works great for me when I need to go to sleep for a big event the next day or if my schedule is all fucked from the weekend.
I think these are good to supp as long as you are counting micros in your diet. Otherwise vitamin D is pretty safe (be sure you get d3) as is melatonin. Zinc and Magnesium are relatively safe and should be supped when you don't get enough through diet. If you take too much of these two you will fuck yourself up and feel like shit. They both cause muscle fatigue and drowsiness in the lower toxicities which then escalate to death in the higher levels.
Nobody here remembers TYVD killing a motherfucker on this board because he convinced him to megadose minerals and fat-soluble vitamins and other dumb shit to get superpowers lmfao...
Sebastian Wright
I worked in one of those stores for 6 months they are all scams you get everything from your food unless you eat that hyper produced factory shit the only supps that do work are steroids and their derivatives. Anything you buy in a supp store is the cheapest crap you will ever find peddled by merchants don’t believe me look into your bccas there’s a good chance they are made from feathers from ducks in China. Save your shekles.
Aiden Stewart
Coffee followed by hotrailing ephedrine mixed with addy.
Adrian Hall
read this 3 times, OP
>YOU have all the essentials.
Noah Lee
What's the consensus on BCAAs?
Jaxon Perez
whey iso or concentrate?
Gavin Moore
Marginally, yes
Jordan Watson
Absolute meme
Justin Moore
C-can I just follow the label on the vitamin bottle and be safe?
Alexander Foster
isolate
Liam Taylor
I can sleep without supplementation lol
Ethan Gray
Don't listen to him. If these faggots don't see results in 2 days they say meme. Leucine is what triggers protein synthesis, but it has to be burned in the muscle. So train fasted and take it intra-workout.
Easton Torres
Literally any whole protein source in your diet will give you more than enough leucine.
Henry Flores
I really think it's the meme du jour. I tried it then said fuck it, my whey protein already has BCAAs in it, they're just trying to upsell the entire fitness community that can already get giant tubs of cheap whey.
Logan Morales
I am currently doing IF for funsies and because it makes my energy levels more stable throughout the day... but I know the research does not support training fasted as overall better for fat burning/protein synthesis.
Jacob Reed
What the fuck are pro hormones? Any good? If so, which
