How To Personalize A Bodybuilding Supplement Program For The Beginner
If you have just started to get into bodybuilding and are looking for a range of good supplements to help boost your gains then you are at the right page. While there are already many "how to's" on approaching and using bodybuilding supplements that are already available. Most of them, whilst good, provide generalized advice. Take for example, the bodybuilding supplements supplier Supplement Express, they provide generalized advice on which supplements best suit two types of fitness goal. While they cover the popular fitness goals like weight loss and muscle building, there are many more goals that other athletes and bodybuilders are looking for.
In this post we will provide an overview of
the 5 top bodybuilding supplements that any beginner bodybuilder can use in
their own personalized bodybuilding supplement program for any fitness goal.
1. Protein Powder
At the top of our list we have protein
powder, a supplement that every bodybuilder can take advantage of. Although a
common misconception with protein powder is that it is the foundation of
building muscle. In reality, protein powder is just a protein supplement that
helps both bodybuilders and athletes to boost their daily intake of protein. As
bodybuilders need more protein then the average person (to help in the recovery
and development of their muscles), having a supplement to help you stay on
track can be beneficial. Protein powder is a convenient, tasty and cost
effective way to up your protein intake.
2. L-Glutamine
After an intense workout you lose a lot
of the glutamine in your body. While this non-essential amino acid can
naturally be produced by the body. It often can take quite a few hours for
glutamine to reach natural levels. By supplementing L-Glutamine after a workout
you boost your levels back up and possible beyond normal levels. This means
your body can start utilizing this boost in glutamine immediately, helping with
the recovery of damage muscle and the development of new muscle fibers and
strength.
3. Amino Acids
L-glutamine is just one of the 22 amino
acids that particular gets drained throughout a workout. Other amino acids like
the BCAA group also reduce in number as they are used to produce energy and
sustain strength throughout a training session. By consuming an amino acids
supplement either throughout your training session or immediately after, it can
help sustain performance and help with recovery.
4. Pre-Workout
Supplements
Pre-workouts are one of the most popular
bodybuilding supplements. They are designed to boost energy, endurance and
focus just before a workout and are great for pushing your body harder while
getting the absolute most from your training. Pre-workout supplements are taken
30 minutes before your workout and stimulate both the mind and body with
energy. They work well after a tough or long day in the office as well as
preparing your body for an awesome training day.
5. Creatine
Monohydrate
Creatine is one of the most researched
bodybuilding supplements that you can take. It has had so many studies
performed on it that its benefits, side effects and optimal use are well noted
and verified through multiple studies. Creatine monohydrate can help with
explosive energy, recovery after a gym session and with the building of muscle.
