Supplements? Rather, Eat Right!


For me, eating right is more crucial to looking good than the training itself.  Yeah, sure, training is vital and daily exercise is not only good for your 'looks,' but stimulates metabolism and blood circulation (which helps to get rid of toxins in your body!).  However, sometimes we need a little extra to give us that push.  I can't speak for illegal substances (steroids), since I've never used them, but I do think there are some excellent products on the market for giving you bulk, or extra strength.  I am still exploring, but a product I've found to help with extra energy (nothing more than that), is the Anabolic Testo Stack from Muscle Science.  You need things like ZMA, Zinc & good proteins to build muscle, but the little extra testosterone helps you to push a little harder!   I have also used 'Grow Extreme' (also from Muscle Science) which helps with bulking up & extra protein.  However, if your diet is well balanced, filled with good ingredients to help muscle growth & overall health, then you honestly don't need any of these fancy, expensive products. And the basics have always been the most important:  eat 6-8 small meals a day (for example, cold turkey meat with crackers & cream cheese = 1 meal, but include essential vegetables such as broccoli & cauliflower as often as possible); drink clean liquids such as mineral water, cinnamon/ginger/green tea, but don't overdo it on the mineral water either; get enough sleep (8 hours really would be advisable); stay away from bad carbs such as bread, pastries, etc, rather opt for brown rice. 
It's almost time for the weekend, so enjoy it, and don't overindulge! Hehe ;)
