Re: Good Creatine/Other Muscle-Building Products?
From what Ive heard regular creatine monohydrate(powder) is the best/most consistent creatine. Its also pretty cheap. Most of the other products out there are marketing gimmicks with similar or worse effectiveness.
BCAA's are good PWO as others have said. I dont think they have much use anywhere else, but PWO they will help ur body from breaking down your existing muscle.
I use glutamine but Im not sure if it helps. It cant hurt tho so w/e. Multivitamin is also important.
As far as NO products...there are a lot of mixed reviews and differing opinions. I use NO-Xplode and have noticed a lot more energy preWO, but I have also noticed that my body gets used to it very quickly and its becoming less effective. Also, it gives you a wicked pump and makes you look pretty big after workouts. Also, its supposed to aid in recovery time etc, I dunno if ive noticed anything like this tho. Anyways, from what Ive read NO doesnt work with everyone, and different products work with different people, so try out a few if you want and judge for urself. Others that I have heard good things about are SuperPump 250 and N.O. Limits from I think Designer Supps.
Also, once you are a bit more advanced you might want to look into a product like Activate Extreme, which is a natural test booster (that actually works)
The best thing to do is eat more and lift hard tho of course, supps can only get you so far.
