Supplements for muscle hardening

[liftallday123]

Hi I'm new to natty bodybuilding but not to bodybuilding. When I competed npc I cycled. Been off for two years now and decided I wanted to compete in nga. I love being natty and not a walking chemical bucket anymore. My question is what can I take to help with muscle hardening and getting rid of that little tiny last pinch of fat ? My diet and training is already taking care of it just curious if there is anything I can take to help give me the edge and help with the process? Thanks !

You can look into OTC AI supplements. These either come as a single ingredient, such as Erase Pro, Eradicate, etc. or are a part of natural anabolic such as AlphaMax XT.

Look for either Arimistane or DHAA. The only issue for some is that these ingredients can cause joint issues for some. If your joints are healthy, I would not worry so much about that though. DHAA and Arimistane help create that hard, vascular look. It should kick in around the second or third week of use. Of course, the vascular part is going to be dependent on how naturally vascular you are already and your body fat percentage.

I am pretty vascular, but whenever I supplement with an OTC AI, I become a road map.

How are these supplements on lidido and sex drive ? Also while I'm on here which creatine do you recommend for contest prep ? Hearing mixed reviews. I just hate muscles going flat while dieting. I'm used to the real stuff and always having full muscles.

From my experience, having used creatine for one contest, and done another without.. I would honestly advise AGAINST using creatine.

You say you hate feeling flat, and yes, sometimes you will feel that way during your prep, but that can be solved in a few ways:
1. Re-feed meal once a week like increasing your carb intake
2. Once you deplete, and carb load before the contest - you will have an absolutely craaaaaazy pump (while still looking the leanest you ever have)

Hope this helps!

Okay what do you think of glycerine pump products ? Could I use them for pre workout ? Or would that hide some definition?

Noxygen is great supplement for pumps. If you're looking for increased vascularity and pump, I would also look into Vasomax. Vasomax contains 3000mg of hydromax, which is double the amount contained in a serving of noxygen. Vasomax also contains other ingredients to increase pumps, as well as mental clarity and focus.

Using a pump product would help temporarily with muscle hardening, but usually after the extra blood leaves the muscle after exercise it will no longer have a hardening effect

You shouldn't have any issues with using Vasomax during a prep. If anything it will be beneficial for looking fuller and more vascular. Vasomax does not draw water to the skin, but it can help intracellular hydration. More water inside the muscle = larger and harder muscle. It will also help with blood flow and improve vascularity.

Correct, it won't have any impact on your fat loss progress and it shouldn't cause any bloating. Noxygen or Vasomax can help with muscle fullness, but they can't completely fix the depleted flat feeling you get while you're dieting. Either product would help a lot for mind-muscle connection, and they will help you get a pump faster on lower carb days.

I would check out nutriverse.com - I believe they are still running a sale for 20% off the Performax Labs line

Thanks will give the vasomax a shot when I'm finished the noxygen if all goes well

 

[john.patterson]

Sounds good! Let me know when you're looking to purchase Vasomax. There almost always sales going on from AM sponsors, so I can take a look when the time comes and find you a deal. Enjoy the Noxygen and good luck on the prep!
