Some of you that read Intense Muscle my recognize this thread (Massive G's True Protein Apothecary List- Potions, Pills, and Powders) I am bringing it over here for those who don't read there and for more questions, feedback and perspective on supplements to help others in any way I can.
I am going to outline my supplement list here for you guys and also answer any questions with in reason on applications/modifications to you guys based on age income and experience.
I believe commercial supplements are over used greatly in the sport and the appeal of the fancy ads and fancy labels leave many a young man with nothing but a lil pump and flush and lighter wallet.
What I will outline is the BASICS-that means base-what has worked for me and my clients and others over the years.
Some basics are left out of my stack as my goals are different, creatine is a very powerful tool, as well as high quality blends of MRP shakes (when a meal is impossible) and long acting protein blends before bed.
BCAA's are very beneficial centered around any time of catabolism-especially dieting and post work out. So in certain terms -things will differ when I give advice for those asking.
My protein of preference is Pepto Pro I usually will add 10 grams to a powerade and drink it in between meals or as a quick boost if tied up in a meeting or at my desk.
I like mixing my EFA's (Fish and Cod liver oil) with egg white protein-so that may be a shake option at night or in between a meal at home or on the road or weekends.
True Protein is my mainstay and has been since it's inception. I have never taken higher quality supplements and powders anywhere at anytime in my career. You guys are lucky, when I was at my peak -the bulk protein and carb supply business was in it's infancy and what was out there was low quality and poor customer service. I really could have blasted WELL past my peak with the arsenal of supplements available from True Protein.
Here is the list of supplements I take daily pretty much year round (there may be a few I forgot as I am approaching the big 4-0:
3 Multivitamin Mineral Capsules -1 cap 3 x a day
**broken link removed**
washed down with 2 tablespoons supergreens 3 x a day
**broken link removed**
Vitamin E 400 iu's
Vitamin D3 caps 2-4,000 iu's
Cod Liver Oil/Very Finest Fish Oil -I take the E and D with the fish oil.
Ester C 4000 mgs
Night time-before bed
Sleep Caps 2
**broken link removed**
Mangnesium-500 mgs
Zinc -30 mgs
50 grams eggwhite and 10 grams Fish oil
Other supplements are centered around the pre and powo times
Pepto Pro
**broken link removed**
Glycerol
**broken link removed**
Glutamine
**broken link removed**
Swedish Oat Starch
**broken link removed**
Egg White Protein
**broken link removed**
Now my pre-post work out mix looks like this (I make one large shake and drink about 1/2 30 minutes before with 500 mls water, then during the work out I will drink about another 1000 mls of water and then follow with the other 1/2 of the concoction below:
20-30 grams of pepto pro
100=120 grams or more of waxy maize
10-20 grams of L-Glutamine
a few pinches of sea salt
10-20 mls of Glycerol
Packet of True Proteins Krystal Klear (in testing phase)
1-2 grams of Stevia to really sweeten it up
**broken link removed**
Oh yea-these shaker bottles are the bomb I think I have ten of them.
**broken link removed**
I usually carry 2 around with dry powder in them and then can mix and go with simply adding a Powerade or Crystal Light.
Remember this is my current schedule list so read over it and you will see the basics are still there as well as staples of optimal growth (pre and powo shakes) (nighttime shakes) (Glutamine creatine) etc etc.
the major changes really are the addition of omega 3's and vitamin D, no much psuedo science or fancy dancy pills and pretty packaged powders cosing $60-80 a pop for dilute low quality sugary laden commercial junk for the most part.
