Whole Food then Exercise then Supplements Maybe.......

Great physiques have been built for thousands of years on food and exercise. Supplements seem to have a short history outside of current times. I mean for me in the 80's a pre-workout was fruit or fruit juice. I wasn't timing anything. I lifted, walked home and drank some milk. Maybe made a sandwich and grew all the same.

I didn't slam whey and carbs. I didn't have casein at bedtime. And the BCAAs I had came from whole foods .... unless I saved enough lunch money to buy some dessicated liver tablets.

Since then I've tried every supplement imaginable with a lot of healthy skepticism. The skepticism comes from reading 35 years worth of claims from supplement manufacturers.

But alas I still look for that magic pill.

I do believe in my fish oil, creatine and protein powders. But I know that I could still be well off without any of it.

Here's some skepticism sources for you:

Less than half of all herbal supplements actually contain what's on ...

My go to supplement list

Multivitamin – I do a cheap one a day

Omega 3-6-9 – fish flax and borage

Glucosamine and Condroitin – for my snap city knees

Fiber – keeps me moving

Ashwaghanda – really works for me. Tried Rhodiola and it was a no go for me.

SAMe – can never afford it but man do I feel good with this.

Tumeric – because they keep saying it’s good.

Caffeine – mood and energy

Whey – It is the way.

Creatine – when I want my lifts to go up.

Choline – liver, mood, cholesterol

Ribose – expensive but worth it for the energy

Peak ATP – get it at Swanson Vitamins and use when doing cardio

Magnesium - good sleep and great muscle function

Melatonin - sleep, recovery

Milk Thistle – the liver is the key to your health.

Vitaminshoppe BOGO is Here! Muscle Up Bro! All September 2012. 2nd VS item 1/2 off.

I love the Vitaminshoppe's buy one get one half off month. It's a time where I try stuff that I felt maybe good but are too pricey to normally get.

Last time I tried the 400 mg version of SAMe. Good stuff. Gave me a relaxed, mellow feeling. I was hoping it would do more for my shoulder pain.

Here's some things you might want to try. To see specifics on the ingredients goto www.thevitaminshoppe.com.

My favorites are Wheytech, Critical Aminos XT, Nitrulline, PrimalPro, Ribose, Ultimate Man Gold Multivitamin, Growth Tech and Longjax MHT.

Excellent HGH and Testosterone support products.

Great anytime not but especially during and post-workout.

Great addition for IGF-1 support.

Weight Gainer.

Mood and Joint Support. Big bench pressers and squatters love SAMe.

Leucine metabolite that supposed to put protein synthesis in high gear.

Perfect hardgainer combo. I would recommend over weight gainers.

Perfect bedtime protein.

Primal Protein Blend (whey protein isolate, micellar casein, hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate), Primal Power Blend (creatine monohydrate, Creatine MagnaPower)

Ribose is great for those lacking the energy to get through their workouts.

My favorite nitric oxide (NO) booster. Contains 3 grams of Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate(A-AKG) and 1 gram of Citrulline-Malate per serving.
