I’m looking for some better supplemental assistance with my training. Right now I’m just taking BCAA’s and a post-workout shake, along with a balanced diet and the vitamins.
I was thinking about getting some ZMA and/or creatine to help with faster recovery from my workouts. Would anyone have any suggestions for me on what a good route to take would be?
Thanks.
What is a balanced diet? How does your diet look like the first 3 hrs following a workout?
For example:
Within 30mins following workout: 30pro/100carb
90mins following workout: 50pro/80carb
3hrs following workout: 50pro/50carb
Additional supp:
Glut
Zma
casein protein before bed
Epi
I take that back now, I’m getting the 3:1 post workout. 90 mins is about a 2:1 and 3 hours is usually there or not there.
I’m in a higher Olympic volume phase and I’m not used to the volume, so I was going to see if there was any “good habits” I should start. The diet is very important, but I’ve been reading a lot about ZMA and creatine lately.
Thanks.
Sometimes its the training itself.
i think it must be close in my gym to 90% of the meat heads training just one body part per wk… And they wonder why they are sore so often!
You can lead a horse to water as they say…
That’s the truth, that’s why I’m glad I’m in a weightroom.
Not many of those left around (here anyway).
Try Bromlein also - enzyme found in pineapple core.
BCAA’s, ZMA, Glutamine, Creatine, multi, i like Animal Pak, protein powders
How about HMB? Does anyone have any good testimonials?
HMB was originally a bust. I have heard some buzz about it lately but I think the deal is that you have to take a lot of it. They’re saying that originally the recommended dosing was too small. That’s just what I remember. If it worked super well you would hear about it.
yea good point…i’ll just stick to my usual supplement
Thats good stuff. It is a digestive enzyme. I take them everyday. Helps digest food when taken with a meal. It also helps with free radicals when taken without food.
L ornithine alpha ketoglutarate.
175mg per kg BW per day.
Spilt the dose into 4 morning, pre, post, and bed time.
Expensive but does wonders for recovery.
