Supplements - to Take or Not to Take?

[Jacques]

post workout drink...20-80...pag-meal time dun na lang yung...simple carbs....pero ok din yung opinion mo...try ko din... :thumbsupsmiley:

I think you mean complex carbs during meals.

80 protein-20-carb...(supplement lang ito, di pa kasama ang diet...hay people of the philippines!!!) Mabilis akong tumaba...depende sa katawan kc..may mga katawan kasi na maski anong kinakain payat parin...mabilis ang metabolism...last na to!!!!

Just curious, how do you specifically come up with this elixir?

egg white is a good source of protein too, pero magastos kasi 8 eggs a day. i also tried ON whey 100% before pero walang nangyari hehe. kelangan supplement + workout, kasi kung walang workout e lolobo kalang

well, that is the main idea of increasing protein intake after all. because you need it for repair of the muscle cells you damage during a workout.

amino tablets, powdered amino, B-complex (50 mg.)

B-complex converts protein, amino - (muscle absorption).

im doing fine with ON as my pre and post workout supplement.., usually i mix 1 scoop with milk/choco shake with 1~2 piece banana, and that already makes me full. i always hit the gym after work.., so when i workout di na ako nagdidinner.., i find it hard to mobilize my body pag full after meal..,

In your case I'd say focus on leaning up your diet and start lifting first

 

thanks man!

but when should i start taking some? and what beginner supplements are alright?

As mentioned earlier, worry about getting your eating and training habits in check firt. You can make good gains even without supplements as lnog as you eat and train right

personally, i didn't use supplements until around six years after i started training regularly.

Sirs,

 

i'm trying to grow big... i've already dropped from 210 to 180lbs. (thanks a lot to eclipse-mabini, of course... )

i'm on hydroxycut hardcore (4 caps working days, 2 caps non-working) and whey (2 scoops + non-fat milk + banana pre & post working day)

i'm gaining mass, but i want to gain more... i plan to take these for mass gain starting april, can you guys comment?

 

Morning: 2 scoops whey + 1-2 bananas + non-fat milk

Mid-day: 1 scoop whey + 1 scoop casein + non-fat milk

Pre-workout: 2 scoops whey + 1-2 bananas + non-fat milk

Post-workout (before bedtime): 2 scoops casein + non-fat milk

*sorry, i love milk

 

do you think it's too much? i'm tired of eating eggs eh. i'm stopping hydroxycut and inserting creatine on my diet come may.

i'm also on a lot of noodles and pasta, (complex carbs? - sorry, not sure) cheat days are on weekends. and i workout religiously every other day.

sorry, trying to lean out... :upside:

If you're trying to lean out, I strongly advice you let go of the milk consumption. You may have the option of taking low fat/skimmed variants but fact is, milk sugar in the form of lactose would make it hard for you to cut on unnecesarry carbs. And from what you posted, your diet seems to rely on whey so much. What about real food? Care to share your eating habits?

you think my whey is too much? and what do you suggest i should use instead of milk?

actually, sir... hindi ko pa po ginagawa yang diet na yan... around next month pa pagtigil ko ng hhc... that's why i posted it, to ask your insights.

 

sir, since i am always out, i usually eat whatever na lang i see... in moderation nga lang, and i prefer meat and veggies. pero if i'm home and i have time to cook, i usually have pasta and eggs

wildnutzz, yea focus on leaning out since that will give you the look you desire.
