What gym supplements are you using ?

[only1cr]

I'm a hard gainer, so I'm on NPL Hyper Gain at the moment. So far, so good.

Im also a hard gainer I eat what the bodybuilders eat when prepping for contest. Try it for 12 weeks you will manage it. although if you have someone cooking for you that helps. I'm cooking myself and it's hard work. Seeing results though.

im on 8000 calories a day. Its tough but you get your results. Best thing I did was goto a real dietician who takes bloods and works out your diet. I am currently at 96kg and 9% body fat

 

[bro-da]

whey after gym, creatine and pre workout before gym and casien before bed

 

[bro-da]

That's strange. Might be the specific product ?

how heavy do you lift? also do you eat before gym?

EDIT:

I see @Sensorei basically covered what i was thinking

8000? If a real dietician told you that then you need a new dietician. You'd be getting fat as fuq at 96kg, even if you're lifting elite lifter numbers and running 5km a day.

Ronnie Coleman and Jay cutler both ate max 6000-7000 calories per day and that's at 130-140kg off season. No bodybuilder is going to eat 8000 calories a day and maintain sub 10% body fat.

Will take a look. I’ve never had any “luck” with regards to local products. Been buying imports for the last 10 years. From the good old days of Gaspari SP 250 and Jack3d original

You know jack3d was laced with ped's, that's why it was removed right.

It's got DMAA in it which is banned now, but you can still get the same ingredient in Bee Sting pre workout available locally.

Was thinking the same, 8000 calories is extremely high. I sit between 3500 and 4000 some days and it is alot. And I do quite a bit of long distance cardio
I cant imagine what it takes to have 8k maintenance calories

Quite normal, particularly if you are lifting very heavy. Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor. After an intense heavy set blood pressure drops and the due to the caffeine restricted blood flow can make you feel dizzy like you're going to pass out. Heavy compounds movements that recruit the most muscle groups like deadlifts and squats don't go well with stimulants.

Not strongman levels but I’m doing 120kg bench, 180kg deadlift, 140kg squats.

Ah... Hence why it doesn't affect me since I don't do the caffeine.
I've seen my BP drop to 65/55 when I push heavy on the legs but not usually when on the nutritech caffeine free pre.

How heavy are you? Not bad numbers at all.
I'm in the older age bracket these days and my goals have changed from the numbers on the plates to the number of reps for bodyweight exercises like dips and pull ups.

 

[Meister-Man]

To answer the original question.
Creatine monohydrate, coz it actually works.
Whey protein (more a food than a supplement) for days I don't eat much meat, so I can still get enough protein.

Im very curious to see your meal plan for a day. How many meals do you eat and have creatine and whey during day.

Same same
I used to ego lift way back when. Then I started lifting properly but with the goal of getting much stronger. I packed on plates and it was great but I just dont think my body can keep doing that. I have too many sports injuries.

I do some strength building now but even then I never do a 1RM or push anything less than 4 or 5 reps. I am looking for a more aesthetic look and keeping myself in a bit of a higher rep range mostly. Slow, controlled, much lower weight with concentration on muscle connection.
It has been injury free so far and pretty damn great.

I wonder honestly how many on here have actually used or are currently on some kind of PED (SARM or AAS)
I never touched anything until relatively recently and now that I have the amount of people I know of that have or are on is significantly higher than I thought it would be.
Also the amount of those people who look dead average are pretty damn high as well.

Thank you

I agree with you, whey protein is convenient sometimes, especially when traveling.

I think that's the thing... Being in control of your body is addictive. Functional strength is great.

I currently weigh 95 with 10.2% body fat. Reps are very important, I've seen some guys in the gym who comes in and do a couple of sets of 1 rep and then leave.
