Supplements - to Take or Not to Take?


Recommended Posts

i haven't tried it yet but some of my hardcore bodybuilder friends have and they've given me very positive feedback...i can get this for you for P4250/3.3lbs...PM me if you are really interested in getting this...noah

 

Pwede ba magtawad sa 3.3lbs? or do you have 2lbs?

 

Also, I need to know do I really need to eat 1 gram of protein per bodyweight to gain muscles or is this just a marketing strat of supplement makers to make you buy more?

Coming to the philippines for the first time , is it safe to drink normal drinking water from a tap or better to stick to bottled water

 

If you got strong and I really mean very strong stomach, tap water is fine. But, seeing that you came from other country I say you better either boil the tap water or buy bottled water. :thumbsupsmiley:

Oh and welcome to the Philippines ^_^

bro,

just to be safe, do not drink faucet water...better yet, buy a 1 gallon or bigger container and have it refilled by water refilling shops when it's empty and a small one (about 500ml to 1000ml) to carry around when you're leaving your house/place...it's alot safer this way and pretty cheap too...just my two cents...noah

IMHO, if you are a hardcore and competing bodybuilder, i strongly believe you do...however, if you are just a beginner and that you are trying to gain weight, you don't need to consume that much protein BUT you need to have a more balanced diet with regards to good carbs, good fats and protein...what i do is, i cycle my protein consumption amount and see/monitor which works best for me...plus of course, don't forget PROPER training, rest/recuperation, AND diet, etc...WEIGHTLIFTING/BODYBUILDING IS AN ART AND SCIENCE COMBINED...KEEP EXPERIMENTING WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU...

Thankz for the tip, I'm still looking for supplements that works best for me.

Do you have anytips for food? I already cut off the consumption of rice.

It is a complete and total marketing strategy. I used to eat 1 gram per lb of bodyweight and then normal food. I got FAT. Many of my members will drink a shake with 2 scoops of whey after they workout and then wonder why it looks like they swallowed a watermellon...for 2 days and they have bad gas as well.

 

Start with the RDA, 1g per kg of bodyweight and just be sure to eat enough solid food. You can slightly adjust up or down. Total calories determines nitrogren retention (muscle growth), not protein intake.

 

Honestly I don't watch my protein intake and I still gain 2-3 lbs of muscle per year on average, nearly 17 years later. I know that I rarely get 1g per lb of bodyweight....very rarely. I'm now lean at 180lbs, but not bulky since most of my mass is in my abs, back, and legs. Just eat alot, enjoy your food, and follow a scientific program. You are too new in your training career to analyze every last detail. That is a receipe for no life and stress. Wait until you are at the top of your weight class in some sport, and then we'll talk :hypocritesmiley:

That's why I'm here to confirm and gather info. And thankz for the tip.

I've been working out for almost a year now and I've lost some almost 20lbs of body fat but gained some back when I injured my lower back last october for stupidly trying out the advanced jump squat that I already know the risk. I have to rest for a month just to heal that darn lower back. :thumbsdownsmiley:

Right now I'm more concerned of the food I take since that's my weakness. I tend to eat a lot since I get hungry fast even after a meal. :blush:

Never EVER do plyometric training unless you can squat 1.5-2 times your bodyweight. Even then there's Olympic lifting. Jump squats are useless if you are efficient in the o-lifts....and they are far safer and MUCH more effective.

 

There are probably less than 5 people in this country that are experienced enough to teach plyometrics to avoid an injury like you suffered....and all would give the same advice I gave about squats and O-lifts.

 

Don't try to teach this stuff to yourself, or you will just keep re-injuring yourself....maybe even permanently.

nice... this thread is alive again...

 

I completely DO NOT believe in the 1 g per kg body weight of protein... that is crap crap crap... especially on the start up... Ive seen guys who eat a whole lot less and still gain a whole lot more compared to guys who do that thing and end up having very rich s@%t and urine and overworked kidneys and liver...

 

I hae been on amino acids though... its nice... gave me a nice hard look and sort of made a difference... but my food was never compromised though... three things with the best protein... eggs, milk and peanut butter... that stuff is the shiznit...

 

i got sick for the past 3 to 4 weeks... hassle... lost some strength but slowly gaining it back...

 

Im already deadlifting 310 pounds at 5 sets and 5 reps... my squats is coming along slow though... and so are my shoulders... in any case, case in point is, unless yer stick thin and want to bulk up fast, stay off those protein shakes. YOU DO NOT NEED THEM... Calorie shakes are a different story though... some people do need them especially for those who are physiologically gifted with high metabolisms...
