all i take is my bulkpowders whey and vitamens.is there anything else i should be taking to increase muscle?creatine etc?im at a stage im happy with my fat loss and wana pack on muscle.is a high protein diet enough,there are so many different sups for sale im lost.what you guys take with your diet.cheers peeps

 

I use plain old Creatine Mono. Roughly 5-7 grams a day ( I don't accuratly measure, just a heaped teaspoon) in a pint of water with breakfast on rest days and in my 2 litre bottle of water while training. Seems to work fine for me.

 

Creatine does make a difference.

Fuller muscles, bit of extra muscular endurance at the gym too. However it does make your body retain a bit of water so you MAY look a bit bloated from it. But deffo bigger.

Loads of supps out there, amino acids, BCAA's, Prohormones etc etc... trial and error really, you could spend a fortune on them too!

 

cheers guys.gona go order some creatine mono from my protein and give it a go.coldo i hear what your saying mate.there so much stuff out there.was gona try dorian yates nox pump stuff as any review ive read seems good for a pre work out sup for more lift/endurnace/pump at the gym.dont know if its just gimic stuff tho and its in the mind that its actually doing anything

 

just ordered creatine mono and some scottish oats from bulk powders to try.they have paypal so makes it easier

 

If your trying nox pump for pre workout then order from here as they have the new stuff not old stuff thats been sitting on a shelf

Thats a 1 sample packet so you can try before you buy

 

snedboy thats where i saw it advertised.might order a couple samples just to try.no harm in that

 

No ones got old dy stuff it hasnt been out long

 

I've tried a "pump" supplement before that i got in a free sample, i didnt really rate it so ive not tried any others.

10g Creatine in fresh orange and a caffeine tab 30mins or so before a workout usually helps me enough.

 

Trial and error to see what works for you. I've done Creatine a few times and didn't feel any different tbh. I have known lots of smaller guys that really rate it though. Maybe I would benefit from doubling the dosage or something.

Plenty of protein and a good amino suppliment should be adequate. The rest is all hype and gimic imho. There are hundreds of products on the market that promise you steroid results without the use of steroids. What a load of Crap!

 

cheers for the input guys.gona spend my money elsewhere than on nox pump stuff.il update in a month or so and see how im gettin on with the creatine

 

What would be good for a relative beginner im happy with my weight loss and want bigger muscles now.

 

Lots of good food and protein shakes is all you need for now in my opinion.

Cool benni.

 

im just making some protein bars as we speak.il let you know how they turn out in half an hour

 

the protein bars were disgusting.didnt put enough stuff in them to flavour but rather than waste all that stuff ive blended them all down to powder like and just have a scoop with a protein shake to try.will be some post workout shake thats for sure

 

I was just about to ask you to make me some, Steve, don't think I'll bother now mate.

Benni.

 

Didnt happen to be the protein bars from the sticky in here was it? If it was they are absolutely rank.Ive got a good recipe for much tastier bars just need to dig it out again as ended up making a box load every day i was eating them that much lol

 

Please post it, Snedboy. I can have these as treats as the weekend instead of other crap.

Benni.

 

benni i actually had to phone the girlfreind on the way to work and tell her to chuck it out.the after taste even in with my shake was awful,sickening actually.we are going to have another go at making them friday.

snedboy.nah mate it wasnt the ones off here.was on another site.it said to put a full cup of peanut butter in but i though that was too much and only put a tablespoon.dig that recipe out and il give it a go.need something to keep in the fridge for a snack between dinner and supper.

 

Right found it.I'll post up the full ingredients mix etc but if you want make up half of everything just to try it and see how you get on

You need the following

Peanut butter 236grams
Honey 226grams
Protein powder 105grams
Oats 85grams
Chocolate 50grams

Mix the oats and protein powder together in a bowl

Melt the chocolate either by micro or old method of bowl over boiling pot on cooker(my choice tbh)

Put peanut butter and honey into a plastic bowl and microwave for approx 60secs as soon as done mix well together then mix evrything else together well.I add a little bit of water at this mixing point to make it easier

Place into a tray or large square container let set for 20/30mins then chop into squares

I will warn you these are tasty and im not responsible for you all laying on the fat pmsl from eating them too often

Oh and just to add its much better to use choc flavour protein rather than unflavoured but if use unflavoured then add in your choc flavouring as normal just dont add the water or milk

Enjoy

I would have added in the nutritional value's but cant remember them and didnt write them down when i found the recipe lol
