I been training down the gym for around 10 months now, but find im not making enough progress as im too skinny. What is the best supplement for me to take to put on weight to help me build up quicker and easier?

FOOD is your best friend when you wanna put on MASS.. I know you wanna go look for supplement and stuff but trust me eating more food is the most important thing if you wanna put on weight and mass.. Just but whey protein for post workout and you dont need anything else.. Just eat more food and you’ll put on weight in no time..

Are you confused and unsure what to take when it comes to muscle building and fat loss supplements? If so, then welcome to the club because I’m confused about supplements as well. In fact I think if anyone tells you that they AREN’T confused about supplements, either they couldn’t care less about them, or they are lying and won’t let their egos admit that they are confused.

I mean every month there are new products hitting the market, some new weird and wonderful anabolic concoction that’s promised to be the long lost secret to achieving the ripped muscular body of your dreams. Or some new loss super duper fat loss diet loss pill that will melt the fat off you quicker then a stick of butter in a red hot frying pan.

And these supplements can be tempting. Especially when you read the glossy full page magazine ads with all the scientific jargon, and the picture of some jacked up muscle dude claiming that he built his body as a direct result of taking “Supplement X”. Then to top it off they’ll stick a picture in the background of a guy dressed as a doctor with a stethoscope around his neck and a clipboard in his hand to make the whole thing seem “official”.

I mean with all that stuff being heavily promoted in an internationally published bodybuilding magazine, how can one not help but to be a little intrigued about this magic muscle building breakthrough miracle that they are selling.

Now before you think that I’m just going to go on a big “Anti-Supplement” rant, I’m NOT. I actually do use and whole heartedly believe there are huge benefits to taking certain supplements. But what I don’t like is the deceptive tactics and BS that most supplement companies use when promoting their products.

My goal with this video is to help you become a more educated consumer so that you don’t fall prey to the lies and misconceptions that greedy supplement marketers use to trick you out of your hard earned money. I also want to help you make intelligent supplement choices that will move you closer to achieving the lean muscular physique you desire. Rather then just getting a lean wallet, which is all most people end up with when buying supplements.

I just completed my first JIU JITSU tournament. I lost my match. I was winning in the begining of the match but ran out of steam about 3 minutes into my four minute bout. I lost by decision. I have decided to dedicate my training to improving my short term endurance (I only need a full 4 minutes worth of full bore endurance for about 3-5 matches to win) What is the best training I can do to accomplish this? What is the best supplement to take? Will creatine help?

Wow…

First off Creatine helps develop muscle by allowing it to be filled with more water, it is a skeletal muscle tissue component.

You want what is known as Anerobic Cardio, there is a huge difference between a sprinter and a marathon runner.

What you want is Sprinter cardio and fast twitch muscle.

What supplement to take? None it doesn’t matter they are worthless for this, just don’t take any type of caffienate supplement, anything with Mua Huang, Ephedra, etc. These will increase your heart rate and could potentially kill you if you are doing highly anaerobic activities.

Jumping rope as said above is an ok start. I suggest circuit training, with olympic style lifts (designed for explosion) and leg sprints.

Just a quick idea of a program would be.

Go to a track and prepare to run 2 miles (adjust for your own level) jog the curves and sprint the straights.

Eventually get to a point where you can time yourself, (and you can do this on a treadmill) where you sprint for 30 seconds, jog for 30 seconds, sprint for 45 seconds, rest(jog) for 30 seconds. Keep that up and increase the intervals in which you sprint, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, one minute, one and half minutes and so on.Try not to have your jog time exceed the rest time you would have in a match. Another thing is to practice how you would in a match. Do 5 or 6 rounds at 3 mins each with a minute break.

That in addition to getting better, learning to relax when in a competition, and knowing when to explode and when to chill will all help. This was your first tourney, you are going to get better at learning when to relax and conserve energy and when to use it. That will come with experience, I outlast guys in way better shape then me just because I know when to conserve energy and when to use it.

Quick circuit routine for ya as well.

Start with a weight that you can do everything with, shoot for being able to do one circuit in 9 minutes with the following reps.
Eventually be able to do two circuits back to back in 18 minutes.

1. 50 Sit ups (30-50 depending on fitness level)
2. 20 Upright Rows
3. 20 bent rows
4. 20 over head press
5. 21 curls (7 from bottom to half way up, 7 half way up to full way up, and 7 complete range of motion)
6. 50 Sit ups
7. 50 Half Squats (weight on your shoulders)
8. 20 Leg lunges (10 each leg)
9. 20 Step ups (10 each leg, find a step about 2 ft high and step up with each leg)
10. 30 Leg lifts (need a partner, lay on your back, bring your legs straight up, he pushes them back down, try to keep them from touching the ground. Have your partner through them straight back on one, to the left on 2, right on 3, so on)
11. 20 pull downs (start on your back, bridge with your legs put the weight above your head and pull down to your navel then return the weight above your head)
12. 50 Bridged bench press (normal bench, just bridge up with your hips)
13. 20 Dips (use that same step)
14. 20 Clean and press (start with weight at your feet, bend at the knees and bring it all the way up over your head)

You should focus on technique, have someone show you the proper way to do those lifts. And work on speed.

The idea is to go directly from one exercise to the other, the weights should never leave your hands except to do sit ups and leg lifts. You want to have have no rest in between exercises and do them all in 9 minutes. Before you increase weight or anything else work your way up to being able to do two in a row in under 18 minutes, once you are able to do that slowly increase in weight as your time goes down. Then add in another exercise or two.

I promise you that circuit will get you where you need to be. You get where you can do that with 130lbs or so (45lbs on each end of an Olympic bar) you will be an unstoppable beast. These are all Judo/Jiu jitsu specific exercises, I got a routine similar to this that I was taught by the strength and conditioning coach for the U.S. Olympic Judo team, it will work you.

Hey guys here are the supplements I got from “Discount Supplement Direct” and some other tools that will guide you through you fitness workouts!

I am really buff and can bench 500. I need to look as best as possible for prom in a few weeks. What supplement should I take? Price isn’t an issue.

I bet you can’t even bench 10 fatass. Get off the computer, put down the big mac and go outside.

What is the best supplement to take to when trying to conceive?

I’ve heard about brands Blackmores, Elevit etc, but what is THE Best thing to take?

im not sure if it was just coinsidence or not but I started taking Blackmores Conceive Well tablets and I fell pregnant the first month I was on them. I was only trying for two months. I then switched to Elevit when I actually knew I was pregnant. Elevit is only 1 tablet and I think the Blackmores is 2.

I’m a slim 19yr old male and want to tone up my body. I don’t want to be huge, just defined.

I take creatine at the moment and eat very healthily and I’m just wondering what’s the best thing to take supplement wise. I don’t want any weight-gainer product, as I feel I already have enough weight to build muscle.

First, you need to be working out around 3-5 times a week – if you aren’t already. Make sure you also change up your work-outs. Your body adapts to them quicker than you may think.
As for the supplements – I suggest making a protein shake 2-3 hours before or after you work-out. You can also use a mass-maker supplement. Another popular thing is egg-whites. Egg whites have an incredible amount of protein and they’re also good for you.

Otherwise, just persistence and variety. Good luck!

I am looking for the best training supplement , have seen cheap stuff all over the place but want to know as far as quality . which is the best to use .

well, you don’t really want to take a supplement to get tone. Taking supplements are for "bulking" or building muscle. After you bulk, you "cut." Cutting is when you cut the fat you gained from bulking and keep all the muscle you gained to become extremely ripped and cut. As far as quality, I suggest Cytogainer and/or Muscle Milk. Cytogainer Lean Muscle Maximizer is your best bet if you want to build lean muscle and stay thin.

I’m going to be applying to colleges starting in sept and i was wondering which colleges you guys know of that require no application fee or supplement essays.

Either no supplement essay or no application fee is fine, but both would be better.

I live in Long Island, New York and im a female, if that helps.

I applied to almost 20 colleges.. and I used the Common App. for a lot of them. Unfortunately, they all required essays. But here are some schools that have no application fee:

–University of Scranton
– Hobart and William Smith Colleges
– St. John’s University
– Lynchburg College

Best Weight Gain Supplements:
Sean Nalewanyj cuts through all the hype and confusion to tell you what the best weight gain supplements are. You know… The top weight gain supplements that will help you build muscle fast and not waste your money on bogus hype and empty promises.

Watching this video will save you a ton of time and money. You’ll be able to bypass all the misinformation you’ve been fed about bodybuilding supplements once and for all.

Sean Nalewanyj isn’t affiliated with any of these weight gain supplement companies so you can trust his honest opinion.

One thing we need to get out of the way before we even begin is that supplements are not a mandatory part of a muscle building program. As long as you pay close attention to both your diet and training, you’ll build an impressive muscular body even without weight gain supplements.

But if you want to maximize your muscle building process and make the most gains in the shortest period of time, then there are a few weight gain products that can speed up your results.

Recommended Supplement #1: Whey Protein

The first supplement is whey protein powder which is the “granddaddy” of all the bodybuilding supplements out there. (The legal ones anyway.) Whey protein contains all 8 of the essential amino acids so it’s a complete and quality protein source.

it also has a high bioavailability which means your body will absorb a large percentage of the protein so very little will go to waste. it’s also high in branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s) which play an important role in preventing muscle breakdown or muscle catabolism.

Whey protein also comes in handy when you’re trying to get you 5-6 meals a day in. It’s much easier to down a quick protein shake than it is to cook and eat a chicken breast. See my point? You can easily replace 2-3 of your solid food meals with a simple liquid protein shake.

Recommended Supplement #2: Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine is the most widely researched sports supplement on store shelves today. Why? Because it works. Creatine will help you lift more weight in the gym, which, in turn, will help you build more lean muscle mass.

Creatine also increases muscle cell volumization by increasing the amount of water that’s stored in your muscles, decreases lactic acid buildup, decreases mental fatigue, and helps to improve recovery in-between workouts.

Body weight gains of 5 – 10 pounds over a 3-4 week period are not uncommon when you’re supplementing with creatine monohydrate.

Recommended Supplement #3: Multivitamin

The third supplement that makes the list is a basic high-potency multivitamin. The fact that you’re training with heavy weights 3 times per week means that your vitamin and mineral requirements are much higher than that of the average individual.

If your body is deficient in just a single vitamin or mineral it can have a negative impact on thousands of processes that are going on in your body,

That’s why you should include a high potency multivitamin as part of your muscle building program… To keep all those little processes working and running smoothly.

Recommended Supplement #4: Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s)

The last supplement on the list is Essential Fatty Acids, otherwise known as the “good fats.” Some of the benefits you can expect are: Increase in anabolic hormone levels, improving insulin action, increasing energy production, and increasing your fat burning metabolism.

One of the best way to get your EFA supplementation is through the use of oils like flax seed oil and fish oil.
