Hi guys,
First thread here. Let me just start by saying that I am so glad I discovered this website. Opened my eyes to so many supplements that I had no idea were out there. I realize this may be an annoying/common thread to make but I'm just a little overwhelmed at the number of options out there and didn't know where else to post this - so apologies if this is a chitty thread to make.
So I am just coming off of a cut soon and will be starting a 16 week bodybuilding/powerlifting program. Starts with 8 weeks of high rep, lots of accessory work with hypertrophy and weakness correction being the main goal. It then transitions into 8 weeks of heavy powerlifting type training with sets no higher than 5 reps, most being 1-3 reps and then finishing with a test week. So I need some help picking some supplements that I want to run during this program. I have two trains of thought:
1) Buy many staple supplements in bulk such as beta alanine, betaine, creatinol-o-phosphate, LCLT, agmatine etc and any others that are recommended and run these the whole time
2) Use 2 or 3 single supplements throughout the program that suits the type of stimulus the program is delivering. Since the first 8 weeks are hypertrophy based I was thinking something like ARA as I’ve heard good things for muscle growth. Still looking for another one to run during the second half that is best suited for strength or whatever you guys think is optimal
I figure that both options will come out to around the same price and that is the reason I can’t do both options even though that would be best – just not in the budget. Let me know your thoughts!
Currently taking: fish oil, multi, B complex, D3, creatine, Gatorade+BCAAs intra, R-ALA, zinc sometimes, P.A. as soy lecithin sometimes (just a bitch to consume)
I'm 22 years old - thought about test boosters as an option but not sure how effective they would be at my age.
Thanks
