A
Beginner's Guide To Bodybuilding Supplements, Supplement
Use, and Supplement Stacks (Part I)
Understanding The Basics Of Bodybuilding
Supplements
This is gonna be a rather long, 5 part
beginners guide to using, and getting the most out of the
basic supplements. So, if you got a few mins, read on...
More and more people are using various
supplements like creatine, proteins, prohormones etc. to
enhance their gains, and alot of times, they do so without
really understanding how each supplement work, and fail
to put the supplements to best use for optimal gains. And
I'm just talking about the basics like creatine monohydrate,
whey protein supplements, glutamine, and some weight gainers
like N Large 2.
I get quite a few emails asking about
various supplement combinations, stacking different supplements,
or how to use some supplements. After my recent return to
serious lifting after a one year layoff, I did a basic cycle
(about 7 weeks) using the basics, and came back with a 18lb
gain in these 7 weeks. (of course, its always easier to
gain back what you lost.)
So, I'm writing this (probably long) guide
now to answer some of these most often asked questions,
and hopefully help you out. ;-) Now, this guide is just
for beginners who are using some basics supplements, but
lack a good understanding, or for anyone who's considering
using some supplements for the first time. If you've
been using supplements for awhile, then you probably shouldn't
waste your time reading this. But feel free to do so.
Hopefully after you read this, you'll
gain a good understanding of the basic supplements, and
learn to use them to maximize your gains. So, here's what
you can hopefully get out of this guide:
- Learning about the basics - creatine,
glutamine, protein supplements and weight gainers
- Get a brief overview of the use and
benefits of these basic supplements (will not be in too
much detail, as I have in depth reviews
of these supplements on this site), and learn about
the truth (and side effects) of some of them (telling
fact from fiction especially for creatine).
- How you can use and stack just the
basics supplements to achieve excellent gains, even if
you're a Hard gainer (I am a major hard gainer myself,
so if I can do it, so can you... boy that's so cliched
^__^)
