WILL DA BEAST · 02-09-2008, 08:10 PM

SUP EVERYONE IM NEW TO THIS SITE BUT I'VE BEEN WORKING OUT FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. I NEED SUPPLEMENT HELP.

I'M TAKING ON (OPTIMUM NUTRITION) 100% WHEY AND CASEIN PROTIEN, I JUST FINISHED MY SECOND JUG OF NUTREX RESEARCH VITARGO CGL. NOW THOUGH I AM WONDERING WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I SEE A LOT OF ADS AND STUFF FOR TAKING BCAA POWDER, CARNITINE, ARGNINE, AND OTHER STUFF. SO MY QUESTION IS THIS:

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER SUPPS I CAN TAKE THAT WORK TO HELP BUILD MUSCLE BESIDES PROTEIN AND CREATINE?

HEIGHT: 5 9.5
WEIGHT: 170 (give or take) @ about 14% b/f

Goal: 180 by end of may @ 12% b/f

Any and all help is appreciated

HMB and glucose disposal agents such as chromium and vanadyl

to be honest with you, your going to need to focus your food intake. i learned the hard way, spending money on supps that i didnt need because i wasn't eating enough food. you're going to have to rely on the protein, creatine, multi, and fish oil. just remember, at your weight, i would be taking in around 230 to 260 grams of protein a day. if your not doing that, then taking any extra supps aren't going to be nearly as effective, w/the exception of maybe adding BCAA before, during, after workout, or any time you may have to go an extended period of time without eating.

I read before in dave palumbos column in md,that protien is the most complete and abundant form of amino acids.So if you're consuming enough protien in a day,every 2-3 hours,theirs no need to supplement with amino acids.......just what i read and it makes sence.I agree with avgbb,but you could drink a partial serving of a weight gainer shake when you need to eat but cant.

Fat free cottage cheese!! - a staple supp for protein intake IMO!

The best supplement for you at your age is "FOOD"

Whey protein, fish oil, a good multi-vitamin, maybe some creatine if you wanted to. That's about the only list of supplements you would need. Also, it's popular for kids your age to be attracted to a nitrous oxide product, like NO-Explode, but don't waste money on that. Spend the rest of your money on food.

Another 17yr old on the forums welcome!!!
Food is by far the most important eat plenty, heaps of protein, work hard, sleep well, take creatine, L-Glutamine and a few other basics...
Watch yourself grow, good luck buddy!

Lift like a freak. Eat like a horse. Sleep like a champion.

I love getting to say this

Look at my avatar. None of those helped me get to the numbers I am putting up now. NONE. 4,000kals and Heavy Lifting did for me in 6 weeks and put on roughly 10lbs (some fat).

EDIT: I will admit I took a protein shake during school about 4 days out of the week, took L-Leucine for about a week then stopped it, and took creatine MAYBE 2-3 times a week.

I threw half of them away (some had a 4 pills left), the samples went fast, and I just finished the protein a couple months ago. lol. Sorry to disapoint.
