In the first two segments we discussed the importance of training and nutrition. This section deals with supplementation. We will talk about what supplements are conducive to helping you grow and which are taken to help improve general health which also help your grow. So gear up and get ready to grow.

Which Ones?

If you look around in magazines and books today you still get the feeling that you have to ingest everything out there to achieve your goals. These waters have been muddied for quite some time and will continue to be so as long as a dollar can be made off slick advertising and paid endorsements. The products we recommend in this article have been tested and tried through the court of longevity. Supplements that work tend to stick as those that miss the mark fade away like the sunset into the night. Lets get started.

The Foundation

Whey Protein: This is your mainstay protein product, weather its in a weight gainer shake, meal replacements, or straight, this product never leaves your tool box. We know about all the whey isolate stuff out there but stick to the whey concentrates. We want the extra calories and stuff.

Micellar Protein: This also a mainstay toolbox product. You keep this bad boy around to keep your body from feeding on its self while you get your beauty sleep. If you were to run out, which should never happen, you could add a extra scoop of whey protein and two tablespoons of peanut butter to your shake as a temp. replacement. The peanut butter fat will slow your digestion so the whey protein won't fly through your system as it normally does.

Creatine Monohydrate: Yes creatine monohydrate, no we didn't say any of the mixed formulas out there available today. Good old plain creatine monohydrate in micronized form is very well absorbed and will effect your strength levels on a consistent and steady basis. This is what we want when try to achieve steady muscle gains and strength gains. This product is especially good for those who tend to stay away from beef in their off season training and ingest lots of chicken instead. Anyway you both need it and should be taking it everyday.

Glutamine: This could be the most important amino acid ant hard trainer can take. Glutamine lets the other protein your digest be use for muscle growth sparing them from other functions. Glutamine also help by drawing water, glycogen, and other nutrients from your blood stream into the muscle cells to be used for growth and recovery. Glutamine is a toolbox mainstay!

The Extras

Kaged Muscle Citrulline

Kaged Muscle
Citrulline

Vasodilatation!

L-Leucine: This branch chain amino acid is the growth trigger that starts the anabolic process of protein synthesis. L-Leucine is also used inside the muscle cell as energy, plus low L-Leucine levels leads to decrease muscle size and stunts the growing process. L-Leucine also help in the secretion of insulin whit in the body.

L-Citruiline: L-Citrulline is an amino acid that supports the body in optimizing blood flow through its conversion to L-Arginine and then nitric oxide. Nitric Oxide is involved in vasodilatation and low levels are associated with mental and physical fatigue and sexual dysfunction. Every NO product out there on the market has some form of L-Arginine in it. Its the development of the nitric oxide gas that in turns promote blood vessel dilation and the delivery of blood, oxygen, nutrients, and anabolic hormones to your working muscles. We know everyone out there is saying this is foundation product, but its not because it has to be cycled to maintain its effectiveness, foundation products don't. Also we have you using both forms in L-Citruline before your workouts and L-Arginine later in the day to keep you NO uptake at higher levels.

Green Tea: Green tea is excellent tag-a-long for any nutrition plan because of all the little extras it does for you. Its a super antioxidant (EGCG) helping to scavenge lots of muscle damaging free radicals after intense workouts. As a antioxidant its over 100 times more potent than Vitamin C. The EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) in green tea also help to boost metabolism and increase fat utilization for energy.

ZMA: ZMA is a scientifically designed anabolic mineral formula. It contains Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate plus Magnesium Aspartate and vitamin B-6, and is an all-natural product that has been clinically proven to significantly increase anabolic hormone levels and muscle strength in trained athletes. The increased hormonal levels result in better workouts, and more muscle.

Below listed is your growth surge supplementation schedule and maintenance schedule. The Growth Schedule is to be used once every 10-12 weeks. Because your taking such high quantities of the product your should gradually increase the dosage over the full seven day of the schedule. Once the seven days have past return to the maintenance schedule for the next five or seven weeks before surging again. These surges should always coincide with training increases to help push past sticking points and kick your growth back into high gear. Remember if you do what you've always done you'll always get the same result.
