Very few supplements are worth the money especially in terms of muscle gain/fat loss. It's an equation involving thermodynamics and proper nutrient intake, simple. Creatine is the only one that might be justified but even then it's iffy and highly variable (depends on diet and experience). It should be the least of your concern.

Sears stop pawning my vitamin E knowledge and passing it off as your own.

If your protein powder only has 30-40 grams than bravo my friend. Your water intake is steady and creatine always helps.
False.

It said your body can only take up to 30 grams every 4-5 hours. So as I was saying is he had some giant ass 60+ gram powder then he'd be wasting some of that protein. I'm a firm believer in the concept of 30 grams every 4-5 hours.

I do like the 24 gram protein you are using 3 times day. If you miss a meal or maybe a shake I would look into a slow digesting protein like Casein protein. You take a shake before bed so you are getting protein to your muscles all through the night. Optimum nutrition makes a really good pure Casein protein.

If you don't work it off, it ends up around the old waistline. The latest research has found that more whey protein is oxidized for energy than was first thought. Most people should limit their intake of whey at a single sitting to approx 30 grams. Again these numbers are quite arbitrary, and everyone will respond differently. Mixing whey with milk, adding peanut butter or flax will probably help some, though it won't help as much as some people might think.

Everyone reacts differently to creatine, but I never had an issue with dehyrdration and I was training 5-6 times a week. If you don't already, buy gallon jugs of water in bulk and drink one a day.

Besides that, if you're in season for wrestling you shouldn't be on creatine because it retains water in the body which makes cutting weight that much harder.

This thread isn't about nutrition. It's about supplements. In certain points you need boosts from supplements. Protein is ideal for muscle growth.

I'm pretty sure you sit me down with a pad and paper and I can show you I know far more than you do in the category of fitness and health.

This just ins't true, and its a common myth in the bodybuilding/supplement industry. What's funny about it is that most people who fall for this are under the impression that it's a "30 gram" cap, in that your body "can only digest 30 grams of protein within a certain time period", when in fact the original myth was that your body only digests "30 percent of the protein you eat per meal."

Seriously though, neither of this things is true. Every body is different and every body consumes, digests, and makes use of macro nutrients differently, but the idea that you "can only absorb 30 grams of protein at a time" is a just a simple marketing gimmick designed to encourage customers to consume more product, and thus, end up buying more frequently.

I know it seems counter-intuitive, but it's worth assuming that the vast majority of the information that the bro's at GNC and VitaminShoppe like to drop while you're browsing through their store is most likely utter bullshit and is only intended to entice you into purchasing products.

As far as supplements go, a high quality multi-vitamin is ok, but ins't totally without risks, and recent research as shown that high levels of things like Vitamin E can increase your risk of developing prostate cancer. A high quality protein supplement for post-workout is really all that you should ever need, especially at your age.

I use Animal Pak, Animal Flex, and Optimum Pro Complex (but only because I get a discount).

Stop training like a pussy and eat some goddamn hamburger helper, wuss.

edit: but seriously; I don't know a whole lot about bodybuilding and I'm probably the last person to talk to about it, but my father use to do German Volume Training and told me quite a bit about it. I don't think it's a good idea for someone your age (15/16?) to be overwhelming yourself with a lot of body building, your body is probably not fully developed. And I doubt there is a "best supplement"; there is no supplement shortcut that will get you huge. I'd just wait a couple of years and then try to get into it and you should be gaining muscle more when you grow older.

I'm not trying to get huge but I have started taking supplements and I hope I'm not being retarded because this is the first time I have ever done it.

I got a huge thing of whey powder with only protein really, no sugar, low carbs, no sodium, etc. Oh and it tastes like ass but there is no artificial sweetener or anything of that nature just whey.

My friend recommended using corteine or whatever it's called only for a month because I'm raising my intake of protein outside of what I'm used to.

I'm right now on the end of week 4.

week 1 I took 3 5 gram tea spoons of creatine and 3 scoops of protein a day (so three shakes, one breakfast one two hours before work out and one after work out)
Breakfast is wheat cereal with bananas and 3 egg whites with veggies + shake
Lunch is pasta bread etc
two or a hour before work out shake
Post work out chicken/beef/fish + salad and shake

week 2-4 10 grams of creatine and still 3 shakes. I started eating more bananas and fruit and pasta for lunch 3 hours before work out.

I do rugby practice for a hour a half two times a week (shit kicks my ass)
and I'm in the gym 4 days out of the week and I run atleast 20 km a week (5km under 25 mins) and then I do high reps of normal weights when I lift

I drink at least 4 liters of water throughout the day usually around 5.

oh I fucking was pissing out my ass for the first two weeks. I read that it was my body getting used to the higher amount of protein.
