*Please be aware that supplements are useless if they are not actually “supplemented” in to proper diet and exercise! Below you will find the supplements we recommend by actual brand name, ect. Simply click on the link above to Vitamin Shoppe (Best website we know of for prices and selection) and search the products you are interested in.

MUSCLE BUILDING/RECOVERY

-Muscle building supplements are simply products to add to your diet to ASSIST in the muscle recovery process.  Taking a supplement does not take the place of working out hard and proper nutrition.  These products are a waste of money if you are not doing proper workouts or eating right. There are no miracle pills or powders.  Rest is more important for proper recovery than any supplement.

PROTEIN

“A protein powder can be used post workout for recovery, as a meal replacement, or a way to get some extra protein in your diet.  It shouldn’t be used as a crutch.  Our bodies need protein to aid muscle recovery from tough workouts and it also helps control hunger.”

Brands we like:

Syntrax Nectar

ISOPURE

Iso Flex by AllMax

MUSCLE RECOVERY

“Some products can be used to ramp up the recovery process.  These options are low in calories and have small serving sizes.  They are not to be used as a meal replacement.”

Brands we like:

ScivationXTend- sip during a workout or after a workout

BodyTech BCAA- sip during or after a workout

BodyTechCreatine Monohydrate- to be used for people trying to add muscle mass.

FAT BURNING/Pre workout

-No fat burning product can take the place of working out hard, burning calories and eating properly.  You cannot take a fat burner and expect to lose weight if you are not eating right or exercising.  There is also no guarantee on the effectiveness of any fat burning product.  The amount of difference they make is usually minimal.  Most fat burning products are good for energy production (stimulant based) and appetite suppression (combination of herbs and stimulants).  Don’t waste your time or money taking a fat burning product if you are going to half @$$ your diet and workouts.  Sorry, but these products are not magical.

Thermogenics (Fat burners-stimulant based)

“Most thermogenics are stimulant based, meaning they have caffeine and other herbs/chemicals in them that will increase core body temp, heart rate and energy.  These products are good for people who need some energy for a workout.   If you are sensitive to stimulants then these are no good for you. “

Brands we like:

NutrexLipo 6 Black

NutrexLipo 6 Black Hers-for women

USPLabsOxyElitePro

Other Fat burning products we like:

Acetyl L-Carnitine (any brand)-helps metabolize fat for energy

Green tea extract (any brand)-antioxidants and promotes metabolism

7 Keto DHEA (any brand)-promotes healthy metabolism

CLA-healthy fat, promotes fat loss

Pre Workout products

“Pre workout products normally contain caffeine for energy and other items to increase blood flow and performance like creatine and arginine.  Contrary to advertisements, they don’t build muscle.  You need protein and calories to build muscle.  These can be very high in stimulants so if you’re sensitive to those things take with caution.”

Brands we like:

USPLabs Jack3d-Take before workout

BPI 1MR-Take before workout
