What's the best muscle building supplement available today?
You might not like the answer. It's not sexy, it's not new, and it's
not touted as a steriod replacement.
And if you don't, you might want to consider getting away
from all those "steroid-like" results ads you are bombarded
with in all the magazines.
If you get a chance, take a look back at all the muscle magazines
from eight to ten years ago. What do you see?
I'll tell you. You see a lot of ads for "wonder"
supplements, many of which were called the best muscle building supplement
available at the time. Only problem is, you don't see any ads for those muscle
building supplements today. Why is that?
Because they just don't work! Eventually, consumers figure that out and the
supplements stop selling. So the supplement companies come out with
the latest, greatest, cutting-edge, best muscle building supplement for
you to spend your hard earned money on.
There are a couple of supplements that you still see ads for today. But they
aren't sexy, they aren't new, they aren't cutting edge, and they aren't "drug-like"
grey area supplements. So I give two answers to the best muscle building supplement
question - protein and creatine.
If you want to make outstanding muscle building progress, you must put together a solid weight
training program, train with a high level of intensity, add poundage to your exercises
as often as possible, eat six high protein meals every day, and make sure you are out
of the gym often enough to recover from your workouts so that you can build the
muscle you are triggering into growing.
Oh, and add the dual "best muscle building supplement" to your program - protein
and creatine. Protein powders make it extremely easy and convenient to eat six
meals a day and to get enough quality protein into your body.
Use Protein Shakes - This will make it easier for you to consume
enough calories and protein each day, as well as making it much more
convenient to have 6 meals a day. Who has time to prepare six meals a
day? Not anybody I know, that's for sure.
Here's a sample weight gain drink you can make up and use in
your muscle building diets:
100 grams of protein powder
2 quarts of whole or 2% Milk
2 cups of skim milk powder 2 cups of chocolate ice cream
4 tablespoons of peanut butter
1 banana
Mix in a blender and drink throughout the day, in addition to your regular food meals.
Add or subtract ingredients based on individual taste preferences and number
of calories needed.
When you have your post-workout muscle building protein shake, throw
in a serving of creatine as well.
High quality protein, aka, 'the real muscle building supplement'
should be the center point of all your meals. Intense exercise increases
demand for protein, which support muscle repair and growth.
When you train with weights, you should eat a minimum of 1.5 grams of
protein per pound of bodyweight. If you weight 150 pounds, try and
take in at least 225 grams of protein each and every day.
I know this sounds like a lot and you could probably do okay with 1
gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. But if you find it really
difficult to gain muscle, this extra protein can help.
You don't have to have carbs or fat at every meal, but you must have
protein. When I say protein, I am referring to high quality protein
derived from animal sources.
For getting bigger and stronger, the only protein you need to be concerned
with are those found in whey, casein (cottage cheese), eggs, beef, poultry,
and fish. This is the best muscle building supplement around and
should be the cornerstone of your muscle building nutrition plan.
Throw in a high quality creatine product and you are good to go. As
for the rest, save your money and stick with the dual muscle building
protein/creatine stack for massive muscle mass gains.
