yes i work out, and i also do mma. i was wondering what are the best supplements for strength(legal). i want something that would still keep your strength even after you stop using it. nothing like creatine where the muscle is just water. something that gives you strength not just for a short period of time but also long term. im taking whey right now. i dont care much about muscle mass or size etc. (but it would be good) i care the most about STRENGTH
im 17 years old and im starting the p90x.
First, you're using P90x, which won't get you strong. And muscles are almost all water, which is why creatine works, and there is nothing that after you stop taking that "gives strength" even steroids and prohormones stop working once you cycle off them.
Dude seriously, if you want to get big quicker than usual use steroids. Other than that just eat protein, watch your bad fat intake, and cardio your ass off.
no but seriously the shakes I use are called myoplex they have allot of protein in them and the dont taste like shit either. The same gos for their protein bars.
look in to that. It works great for me.
Now I am serious this time. Stay away from steroids!!!!You dont want to be the next chris benoit.
well obviously not "give strength". I work out too. This is what i meant.
When you take creatine and stop using them, your strength goes down and also your size. You'll still be better than you were before you started working out but not as strong as you were when taking creatine. Like whey...when you take it then stop using it..you wont be weaker and lose your size.
o ya....
what do you mean p90x doesnt help you get stronger? I've known people who could only do like 5 push ups before they tried p90x and now can do like 30-40. That was a silly thing to say.
I'm not an advocate for steroids not do i take or have ever taken them... but please know the facts before you everyone starts making false claims. Steroids don't give you roid rage... they do however magnify your personality so if you are already an angry person you will just be a big angry person. They do shrink your testicles but those go back when you stop and your body starts producing at its natural testosterone level. Protein don't make your muscles big, in fact no supplement alone, including steroids, will make you big you must have complete health. Workout, food and sleep.
My recommendations: Pre-workout including creatine and an NO. Squats and deadlifts every week which are the only two workouts proven to release testosterone. post workout that includes glutamine. Whey after your workout and caseine before you go to sleep. And like mentioned earlier cardio and a low fat diet.
The best way to ensure you get the results you want is to take care of your body with proper eating and proper nutrition. Of course, if we all knew how to eat properly we wouldn't need supplements. I am part of the BJJSupplements.com research team and we have quite a few articles on where to start. I would certainly recommend a good creatine, glutamine, and arginine combo product like Reload from Brawl www.brawlnutrition.com, Gaspari lines www.gasparinutrition.com, or even Iceman RX. Avoid the mainstream crap like no-xplode, SuperPump 250, or Xyience...just our humble opinion! Good luck!
Creatine is actually a great supplement to be taking,
mono-hydrate creatine is the creatine that will result in water retention, you can take tri-creatines which will give you the same results as mono hydrate without all the water retention. and can help increase your strength
the best thing personally is to take a stack(combination of supplements). Taking protein alone is not a bad thing at all. but if you want great results, stick to whey protein, BCAA supplement(building blocks of protein), tri-creatine, glutamine, multi vitamins.
of course the best way to get strength is to stick to your training plan.
Creatine and beta alanine combo... Both are good by themselves, but together they're great... By far the best combo for strength, other than prohormones/steroids
"Swollen" by Nutrabolics is my favourite supplement. It increases my lifts tremendously and is take in a pill form so you know you're getting a proper dosage each time.
