Odd and Ends

July 31, 2008

Haven’t posted like I wanted to recently because of two reasons:

  1. I’m putting the finishing touches on my Workout Warriors member site. It’s almost done and will be ready to launch on August, 19th. (This is a member site that’s not for everyone. I don’t want the whole world joining. Why? Details will be coming soon.)
  2. I moved again for the second time in six months. It’s always hectic come moving time and waiting for my new Internet hookup was a killer.

I wanted to talk today about supplementation. If you’re a regular reader of this blog you know I preach to everyone to save their money and stay away from all things related to supplement companies.

The bodybuilding rags are owned by supplement companies and most of their magazines are just repositories for their sales literature. All filler, no killer.

There are, however, three supplements I wholeheartedly recommend. They are:

  • Creatine Monohydrate
  • Whey Protein Powder
  • Glutamine

Creatine has been proven in study after study to increase muscle growth, workout intensity and coupled with Glutamine, naturally enhance recovery ability.

All the horror stories you here have come from people who have overloaded on it. The whole more is better crap. All you need is a couple grams a day before and after a workout.

Whey Protein Powder is a very effective part of your nutrition plan, especially post-workout. Whey is absorbed by the muscles super fast after a workout and is an essential part of any weight trainers diet. I have mine with milk, a banana and some peanut butter. One scoop is all that’s needed.

Throw in a sensible eating plan (Don’t overeat, stay away from processed foods, etc.), a multivitamin and some Folic Acid, and you have all the nutritional guidance you’ll ever need.

Hey there’s still time to win. Fill out my survey and get some free gifts right here.
