Muscle Gaining

Supplements may help you perform better, but they will never be a replacement for working hard, discipline, perseverance and a nutritious diet. By adding vitamins to your daily diet, you will gain more energy for your workouts along with living a healthier lifestyle.

Here are some of the best supplements in my opinion:

Protein Shakes

Buy products that are based on whey and egg white protein where one serving has 20-40 grams of protein. A nutritious meal is still better than a shake so don’t consume more than one or two per day.

Amino Acids

The amino acids that have muscle building ability are the L-forms. You will want to add them to your nutrition plan as you work toward your muscle building goals. I found L-arginine to be the best amino acid on the market. It will help you to become stronger and healthier. It really works.

L-carnitine is an amino acid that will help you lose weight faster if this is your goal. L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine work together to give you more energy during workouts and will deliver the rebuilding blocks for tired muscles after serious muscle building workouts. They are delivered to your muscles as an energy source within 20 minutes of your workout.

Creatine

Creatine is a natural substance in the muscle tissue. A body makes about 2 grams of creatine per day with ninety –five percent stored in muscle tissue. Taken properly, it can give you more strength and stamina in your muscles during intense muscle building workouts. It allows for better recovery between sets and workouts. When added to a weight training program designed to add mass supplementation produces greater gains in strength and fat-free muscle-mass over time.

There is much controversy over this supplement however, because of its side effects such as bloating and weight gain.
