Hello87 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I’ve just been taking whey post workout. Wanted to become bulkier. For hypertrophy effect etc, can anyone share workout supplements you’re taking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xydboy Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Plateau in what? If you are referring to gym performance, then you should be looking at your training routine rather than supplement routine. For the basics, just creatine and whey would do the trick. Refer to supplement dosing based on packaging for simplicity. bodybuildMLY 1 Quote Follow me at http://instagram.com/ytraymond =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refer to supplement dosing based on packaging for simplicity. Very good advice. The goal of strength and muscle gain should be attained by hard workout and not be delegated much to supplementation. Whey protein is a good source of protein when taken in moderation, no more than 30 grams or so a day. For years I have been taking 25g with breakfast, and never more. Too much branched-chain amino acids can have negative effects long term: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-019-0059-2 For creatine, a few grams a day seem to be safe, accompanied by limitations in the ingestion of caffeine. If you are not vegetarian and eat meat and fish, there is no need for long term creatine supplementation, unless you are a competing bodybuilder. We should love our kidneys. One interesting recommendation is that we should work out on an empty stomach. This contradicts the notion that we should eat shortly before exercise "to have more energy". I have been started to do intermittent fasting, and I find that after 16 hours of fasting I haven't lost any energy. So I go up early in the morning and straight to the gym to work out, and afterwards I have breakfast, instead of the other way around. I find that this works very well, and I haven't lost strength.
