Best Muscle Supplements

The best muscle supplements are unique and will vary from person to person.

Some of the best muscle supplements I have used were nothing more than a great tasting protein shake, EFA's and a good multi vitamin.  

If you want to take things to a whole new level then there are just a few categories you should focus on to get better results out of your workouts.

1. Super Pump 250 - Blue Raspberry - Now this product rocks and it is my absolute favorite.  I get the pump, the energy and the focus I am looking for.  It's just too bad I have to cycle off of this product as time passes.

I use two scoops instead of three because it messes with my stomach.  The other bad news is that between myself and my girlfriend we go through this container rather quickly causing it to be expensive.  

I would warn you, if you use this for the first time be prepared.  It can really mess with your stomach so be prepared to hit the restroom right after your first dose.

2. Ragnarok - This is what I have been using lately, only because I have to cycle off of Super Pump 250 from time to time.  At my first use I took it easy, only had a half a scoop.  The talk on the street is that Ragnarok is powerful stuff.  

I took that into consideration and dove in!  I found that this really works but I just HATE the taste.  I need to try another flavor before coming to a complete solution but as a whole this stuff works.

For me, I a heavy on the cardio these days so taking a pre-workout supplement really kicks you in the gut throughout the workout.  I am constantly winded and the pump is almost counter productive to the high intensity workouts that I have been doing.  

I have upped my dose to 2 full scoops and that really helped but a WARNING would be that there is always a small amount of powder (at least for me) at the bottom of my drink.  When I drink all of that I have stomach issues but if I avoid it I actually fell much better.

3. Others - I have used a few others and those can be found on Best Muscle Building Supplements Review as I review several other products there.

NxLabs Methyl Test Testosterone Booster

Known throughout the bodybuilding corners of the world, testosterone is known as the pinnacle for muscle growth. NxLabsresearchers created this product to be the strongest testosterone booster there is. With their discovery of 1-Methyl-17-Androfinodiene they believe that they have come across one of the greatest products in hormone manipulation. I believe this is true. I use this product to help increase lean muscle mass, strength, and recuperation.

Ultimate Nutrition Bulgarian Tribulus

Popular for its increased testosterone building properties Tribulus Terrestris is a great addition to your supplement program. Ultimate nutrition has a strong reputation for delivering what it promises.

T-Bomb II Maximum Strength! Optimizes Testosterone Production, Utilization & Lowers Estrogen

This product does five things and it does them well. First, it is clinically shown to increase your natural production of testosterone. Secondly, it increases free testosterone. This is what your body needs if it is going to build muscle and recover quickly. Next, it stops aromatization. This is one your body converts testosterone into estrogen, also known as gynecomastia. This is known as affectionately, this is known as bitch titts. In addition, it stops testosterone from converting into DHT. Finally, it binds the body’s estrogen receptors. All in all this is a kick ass product.

Post Workout Recovery Shakes

One of the things that you have to pay attention to is after you finish working out your body is starving for nutrition. Now I'm not feeling that you're hungry what I although that probably is the fact is that it's your body needs nutrients to help recover. Where as most people think that building muscle happens in the gym, what you are actually doing is tearing down muscle. Which is why the Post workout meal is as important if not more important than the workout itself. Following are what I think are some of the best Post workout meals and recovery drinks on the market.

Met-Rx Presents:Meal Replacement

Originally, Dr. Scott Connelly created this in 1991 to help his patients recover faster. In my opinion this is probably one of the best tasting products on the market. Available in the following flavors: chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, cake batter, strawberry and vanilla. With high levels of magnesium and potassium, I find that my recovery rate and strength level is at its highest while I take this product on a regular basis.

Prograde Nutrition: Workout Shake

First of all this product was created by a trainer for trainers and their clients. What I like about its product is that they go to painstakingly lengths to make sure that every product is 100% accurate. With many of the large manufacturing companies, many of the mass-produced products are not consistent. With a smaller company such as this one, I can assure you that theirs is.

Designer Whey: Whey Protein Powder

This product has been around since 1993. Why do I like it? Because Dan Duchaine created it, I give it full endorsement. For those who do not know Dan, Dan was known as the steroid guru.

He has created more professional bodybuilders and with his help bodybuilders have won numerous professional competitions. With that kind of the background and the knowledge behind his products, I would say this is necessary to have.
