Supplements for the "Combat Athlete"

Hey Gents,
I'm looking for a product to spice up the supplement stack I will be starting in around two weeks. I've been training away from home for the past five weeks, but I'm due back in less than a week. I know for sure I've lost some strength, but I gained endurance.

So I'm looking for a new supplement to compliment my stack. I've read some things about Epistane, but I'm not sure if that appeals well to a 5 day running, 4 day lifting schedule. Looked at Havoc as well, but not sure if that would work. Anagen? X-Factor? Looking to bring my run times really low and to gain functional strength and endurance at the same time.

Here's my stack at the moment (subject to change):
Dropping ON Whey for now, going to try Oryx Goat Whey.. heard good things!
Body Octane
Cordygen5
BCAA's
Anabolic Pump or Yellow Gold.... can't decide on that one

Any ideas for the final supplement? Looking for a killer stack, and this product would be the icing. Browsing though the NP "Muscle Enhancers", I've found a few, but not sure which would pertain to my goals. My key focus is overall combat ability.... running, strength, power, agility, endurance. Not looking to "bulk" or even "cut". Starting to consider PowerFULL as well, any revelance to cardio?

Thanks!
 
The main supplements I use are BCAAs, WPI, and fish oil. I am going to start using beta alanine, WMS, and cissus soon. I really like Anagen because of the cardio and recovery increase, but it is a permanent supplement. Adding in citrulline and some nootropics would also be a good idea.
 
You'd probably like Body Octane, although its kind of pricey, you could make something yourself with nutra's bulk powders like:
1g Glucuronolactone
2g Beta Alanine
2g ALCAR
2.5g Dicreatine Malate
3-4g Cit Malate

and toss it in with a Bcomplex

Incarnate is also an excellent supplement, I'd think Cissus would be an invaluable tool to any fighter.

I'm sorry, but I don't fully understand why you say Anagen is a permanent supplement... do the gains/progress dissipate when you stop taking it?


Thanks for the replies everyone.

I meant to say that it is not a permanent supplement. It is for when you need to peak for competition.

Oh.... so using it over the course of the next few months to increase overall ability is not a good idea.

Currently I'm debating between BodyOctane and Incarnate. I've used BodyOctane in the past, and I believe it brought some good results with my cardio training sessions. Would you recommend Incarnate over it? I don't see much of a difference between products - they seem to attack carnosine levels pretty well but that appears to be it...
 
Incarnate seems like a great supplement for MMA. The combo of cissus and beta alanine will help with endurance and recovery. I would say to use that with some bulk cirtulline malate powder. I like to use Anagen starting about 6 weeks before a competition so the endurance and nitrogen retention are in full effect.
 
Havoc would work for helping you increase strength while keeping up endurance. The BCAA's are good as well. the beta-alanine will help as well.

I'm actually not a "combat athlete" by MMA terms, at least not yet. I'm training to be an officer of Marines, with half of my training done as of today (PLC Jrs. graduation Friday morning, oorah).

Then be cautious about Havoc or Epistane. They're steroids and you should be sure there won't be testing issues for you.

Right... I opted to go with Incarnate instead.
Going with:
Incarnate + Alpha Drive XL (10 dollars, couldn't refuse!)
Cordygen5 + bulk Citrulline Malate (when I can afford it)
Oryx Goat Whey + Xtend

Lots of crossfit training, lots of running, lots of fun
