Any supplements you guys swear by?

just typical bodybuilding supplements you guys use and that you think work?? just curious what everybody is using beside AAS, hormones, etc?
 
Creatine - keeps muscle full with water, been using that one even before using steroids (lifting experience of 11 years only the last 3 not natty)
Glutamine -post workout shake 5g + pre-bedtime meal 5g with oats (and casein powder). Helps with recovery. i experimented with it intermittently ( 2 weeks on off for three months to evaluate) before adding it permanently.
Citrulline malate - 5g 30 min preworkout. Gets you a new level of pump (won't lie i am also taking 5-10 mg ciallis with it so....)

I don't count protein powders as supplements- its just food.

Yeah I have been using Creatine, Whey Isolate protein, Citrulline malate, Arginine for years.

thx
 
Yea, liquid turmeric for inflammation. Shit works like a champ! After trying damn near everything for an inflamed tricep tendon after surgical repair this one seems to work the best and has all my joints feeling like new lately

Really? Wow. Ok. I’m going to have to try this
 
Yes daily, dose is supposed to be 2 tablespoons but I just fill a cap full and drink in morning (I'm guessing a cap is a little more than 2 tablespoons)

1 serving is supposed to be 9,000mg , so from what I'm told the liquid turmeric is a heavier dosage for the cost. I paid rt at 20$ for a 32oz bottle, I should be able to get abt a month per bottle of this.

I had my tendon reattached exactly 1 year ago, almost to the day. So it's been a very long recovery and my biggest issue from it is there is a certain weight I can get to and nail for a ton of reps, but going up just 10 lbs more will feel like a knife going into my elbow.

Recovery is a double edged sword because when I have the nerve to try to train a little heavier I pay for it with more inflammation in that arm. I've used HGH, done ultrasound like a madman at chiropractor office to reduce scar tissue, but that knot on my arm always comes back after training. It's fucking annoying. It was to the point where I was starting to think that this is it, this is the best it's going to get and I'm going to have to live in pain forever. So after just the first few days of using this shit that pain is diminished a lot, the knot on my tricep is gone down to where it's almost flat like a normal tendon should be.

Funny enough, I learned abt it from a woman abt 75 years old who was standing in line buying it and I asked her about it. She uses it for her knee pain. Go figure, not every good tip comes from a bodybuilder, this came from an older woman and so glad I asked her abt it. I've attached a pic for you guys. Personally I feel like this is a gamechanger for inflammation, I'll keep using the shit as a staple everyday from here on out.

Just creatine and a protein powder for me.

In addition to caffeine ^^^^ the above have been shown to enhance performance in human clinical trials.

Are there others ?

Perhaps yet as a large portion of the data is derived from poorly controlled animal models in which alterations in cellular physiology are extrapolated to humans the effects remain to be proven.

Tyrosine is very effective for focus preworkout. It's my favorite supplement other than the ones listed above like caffeine and fish oil. I like 500mg for a little boost in the morning, but enjoy up to 2g preworkout. It's super cheap to experiment with, so if u dont like it, no big deal.

Also, vaso6 is effective for preworkout pumps. I believe it's an arginine derivative, but I dont remember that for sure without looking it up. You can get it by itself or in pump mixes with cit malate (as someone else suggested above), arginine, agmatine, etc. Vaso6 is a bit pricier supplement but I think it's worth the cost for how it can make arm or back workouts more fun. I dont use it on leg or chest days because it's too much pump and causes cramps for me.

Dr Jim suggested sticking to supps with human trials. I bet you could find studies that could help u with decisions on ALCAR, beta alinine, Sam-e, just off the top of my head.
