I"m back at the gym again and I would like to get some recomendations on some good supplements to use to build lean muscle and drop a little bodyfat. I'm not a fat out of shape beer drinker by any means lol! but I wanna get more "cut" I tried some stuff someone recommended in a thread last year "sus 500" It worked good but it made me wanna kick my friends ass when we went out lol! Now i already know that most of you guys on this board bench press ATLEAST 500lbs with ease so I'm sure I will get some good suggestions

:
Find a good whey protein (I use the stacked GNC brand)
Find a very good multi-vitamin (I use the GNC Mega Mens multipack.
I cycle on and off Creatine from time to time
And I use Glutamine after my workouts.
This plus a nice balanced diet will get you there. (for a good diet plan check out www.sparkpeople.com I use this for my diet tracker and its free). If you find you are plateauing and not getting your results look into some upper level supps. BUt chances are this will get you there. No need to go balls out on supps if you are just starting. Not quite to 500, but I am slappin 4 plates ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

It may sound funny but eating spinach gives lots of protein. I try to eat lots of veggies and fruits too. I make myself a shake everyday that consist of soy milk, one banana, spinach, and frozen fruits, Takes pretty good and healthy. Nuts also help with energy. I use to take whey protein but after taking health classes I learn that just by eating the right foods you could be healthy and lean. Hope this helps

i like the muscle milk products for protein (they just taste fantastic), a good multivitamin and universal animal pump.

The BSN stuff is really good.
Pre work out-N.O. xplode
After work out- cell mass
Protien/after workout- Syntha 6, get cookies and cream.
Supplement- Nitrix

+1, if you are disciplined enough, this is THE BEST route. But honestly I would try to do it as natural as possible when beginning. Lets your body do things naturally before you start supplementing it with stuff your body can do on its own.
Good luck.

V12 Turbo tricreatine. You will lose bodyfat and put on muscle quickly. Best supplement i have ever taken in my bodybuilding career. i was going to see how it would do in my fire career but the place i ordered it from ripped me off. Never buy from betterbodz.com, horrible customer service.

pre workout: muscletech's naNO vapor
post: Muscle milk
gnc multivitamins
i think imma be switching out to six star whey protein, 50g of protein less calories. but if youre real serious on getting real lean you can cough up EXTRA dollars and get 0cal IsoPure. As far as naNO vapor goes, it claims to give you extra energy, and work you out harder. I believe it works you out harder, but it doesnt give me extra energy like N O Xplode did. Ever since i been taking Mega Men's multi vits i stopped drinking coffee, and just all out feel better all day.
P.S.
not too long ago i posted about starting p90x, since then i lost 29lbs. i was semi dedicated to p90x for the first 4weeks, i cut down to a way STRICTER diet since, and is now power lifting again. the only things i do from p90x is YOGA, AB ripper, and KENPO.

Serious mass is some good shit, it's protien has creatine and heella vitamins in it. It's like 45 for a 12lb bag. When u get it in the mail it looks like a small dog food bag.

False...
buy from http://www.tfsupplements.com/
or http://www.supplementwarehouse.com/Default.asp?
I personally like supplement warehouse because they meet and beat any price by 5%, so I will use google shopping to find the lowest price online and have never had a problem. I will say that you will pay a little more in shipping and handling, but still the best prices I have seen considering they will meet and beat any competitor.
Oh, and bodybuilding.com quit selling pro hormones like sus 500 last year after the FDA started cracking down on pro hormones... ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

I do not necessarily agree with that article. The higher reps and lower weight thing has been proven to be essential when going through a hypertrophy stage in your workout. I also seen tremendous gains with cycling on and off a hypertrophy stage. Google + this article is like anything else you read. Take what you need from it. Weight lifting is not a one size fit all solution as everyone is different. But that article did contain some useful information.

I agree. I didnt really buy that part either. When i found that i was looking up ways to get more defined muscles and what i found is that you need to lower your body fat percentage. Good diet and cardio.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm gonna try a couple of the supplements you guys suggested to see how it works for me. I have already modified my diet with more fruits veggies and protein. I'm eating smaller meals and drinking ALOT of water too. If this don't work, My next thread is gonna ask "what are some good PED's!" I wanna get on that Manny Pacroid program lol

one thing no one mentioned is get a physical or get checked out. Some supps are not ideal for folks with high blood pressure or taking certain meds. I heard of a cat having a severe reaction to the supps he was taking when it mixed with his asthma meds.

+1 superpump worked great for me but if I was you I would just ease my way back into it with a good protein (isolate) powder multivitamins and most importantly a good diet. Goodluck!

Here is my current regiment....Hydroxycut, BSN Nitrix, BSN No-Xplode, and about 6 ounces of glutamine every workout day
I'll be switching to USPLabs new "Asteriod stack" towards the end of this month, I heard their products really up your "game" in the gym...
I tried going back the "natural" way and these definitely speed up the process and I would consider myself a pretty large animal in the gym now....
however, I have noticed that after using NO-Xplode for about 8 months, the effects are slowly wearing off and I need to take an extra scoop or 1.5 to give the same effects as when I first started
I definitely notice the difference if I do not use Glutamine from one day to the next especially when I went to the heavy weights in Feb. and March....
AS others have stated, a well balanced and loaded diet is necessary as well...I just wish that diets worked quicker for us "rounder" fellas as well....

I have yet to take it, but I hear Epistane is great for cutting and somehow made it through the 2010 Prohormone Ban... you would have to take support supps with it of course.

Too bad Tren was banned this year, but m-drol is just as good.
I also heard you can go to max muscle and ask for the Tren clone called nanodrol and it's the exact same pill in a different bottle...
Couple of my buddies did a couple cycles of Tren and the strength gains were/ are ridiculous!!! You have to be worried about gyno and your testes... most prohormones/ steroids are harsh and will shut you down.
Posted by phil a (Member # 6951) on

With PED's like pro-hormones and pro-test, it's all a matter of risk vs. reward - basically, how much health-related risk are you willing to take to see phenomenal results?
With the pro-hormones/pro-test stuff, some of it can aromatize as the body attempts to regain hormonal equilibrium (by producing estrogen). Some people run anti-aromatizing pro-h's, while another option is to take an anti-estrogen supplement, like Nolvadex (or something similar). This is synonymous with tamoxifen, which is an anti-cancer drug, which basically keeps breast tissue from further development.
Consider the further "requirement" of a post-cycle therapy to restore hormones to their natural levels. I guess I look at it like this: I'm back in school now, and I'm giving it all I've got - can't risk screwing up the mental balance with some rage or depression or any of the other numerous possible side-effect. I've got a friend of mine who's doing all of this stuff (and seeing big results), but to me, it just wasn't worth the potential side-effects of fubar'ing my endocrine system. I guess I'm somewhat similar to N8, in that I take protein, creatine, glutamine, and a multi-V on top of a well-rounded diet and lots of water.
Though my gains aren't/won't be as high as they might be otherwise, I feel good every day and don't get stuck on trying to regulate chemical levels to keep from imploding.
Good luck!

Has anyone ever heard of or done a dirty bulk? I know the OP wanted to cut, but while on this topic I will ask and discuss...
Everyone talks about eating healthy, drinking lots of protein and taking a good multivitamin. However, I am a hard gainer and I hate drinking protein. It tears my stomach up! Last year, a coworker was talking about being on a dirty bulk and his results were impressive to me. For some it may seem taboo, but the idea is to eat any/ and everything including lots of fast food. Of course with this type of diet you are bound to gain fat, but that's what cutting cycle is for.
Has anyone else done this type of bulk and what have your results been?
I am just finishing a dirty bulk/ prohormone cycle and have gained almost 14 pounds. My gym partner loves to clown me and call it the "dreamer bulk", but I started at about 170 and now weigh about 182. I have gained some fat and water weight, but it's all in the right areas imo and I have even thinned out in the waist area; not to mention my strength has sky rocketed!!! Everything I was taking was legal and otc... I would have bought novadex, but that requires a prescription. The pct I bought is called Reversitol and has a serm... The worse side effects to me is a little to nonexistent sex drive and back pumps; the thought of gyno is rather scary though.

Man I do not want to be big this bad....lol.
But
The only problem I see with your method is post maintenance. And depending on your age, when you slow down activity the fat and everything will come back with a vengeance. When I built my current workout and situation I thought about post goal maintenance. For my age I think I am incredible shape. But at my age I know I could not try what you are trying. Just to give an idea, I tend to walk around about 210-215, and by repeating my hypertrophy phase work out I am able to shred down to cruiserweight for boxing matches within 2-3 weeks with minimal diet changes. So I know my post goal workouts will work and I could potentially maintain on into my 40's and hopefully (God-willing) 50's... A lot of folks do not consider the future when working out. I think it is equally important.

I get good results naturally and great with the little stuff I do. But I might get my Lou Ferrigno (*sp) on with what you guys are taking.

Stuff kills your HDL(good cholesterol)... I did a cycle of m-drol a superdrol clone and when I got my blood work results back I was stunned as was the doctor. Normal HDL for a male is between 40-50 on the scale... mine was 16
Prohormones are also harsh on the immune system and I got swine flu and developed a respiratory infection while on my cycle. I am not saying this couldn't have happened naturally, but my body was definitely telling me something... I was literally sick for the month of October 30+ days and in the doctor's office twice.
Of course after telling you this, you would assume I would stay as far away as possible from this stuff, but the results are very compelling and well honestly a bit addictive.

You take the good with the bad and for every known effect there is something out there to counter it just have to do research, ask around and of course do what works best for you.
I am just layin the facts out there not trying to persuade anyone either way.

Iam far from being buff but when I hit my plateau on anything (and I dont bench 500) I get back to the basics and go with push ups, chin ups, pull ups and squats.
Always pushes me past any plateau but then again I am FAR from a pro body builder and dont even look that strong so this is just me and what works for me.

I was against doing another cycle and told myself I was done, but then I started to plateau and read an article about pulsing. Needless to say, I did another cycle and just finished. Personally, I think pulsing is the way to go. It avoids the nasty sides, prolongs the length a cycle can be done and in theory helps reduce loss of strength post cycle...
The biggest flaw I see with prohormones is that they have to be cycled and therefore gains come and go rapidly... So sure I could rep 265 last week, but ask me four weeks from now and it will be another story... Felt like a beast in the process though!!!
Like Turbo said, good with the bad.

Ahhhh you only live once.
Do they blood or urine test you pre or post fight when you compete?
Stuff kills your HDL(good cholesterol)... I did a cycle of m-drol a superdrol clone and when I got my blood work results back I was stunned as was the doctor. Normal HDL for a male is between 40-50 on the scale... mine was 16
Prohormones are also harsh on the immune system and I got swine flu and developed a respiratory infection while on my cycle. I am not saying this couldn't have happened naturally, but my body was definitely telling me something... I was literally sick for the month of October 30+ days and in the doctor's office twice.
Of course after telling you this, you would assume I would stay as far away as possible from this stuff, but the results are very compelling and well honestly a bit addictive.
Yea I am good on that. Shit I get worried off of creatine. I am almost to my bench goal but have seriously plateaued. Considered upper level supps to get me there, but hearing things like this make me reconsider.
Iam far from being buff but when I hit my plateau on anything (and I dont bench 500) I get back to the basics and go with push ups, chin ups, pull ups and squats.
Always pushes me past any plateau but then again I am FAR from a pro body builder and dont even look that strong so this is just me and what works for me.
Yea, it just seems push-ups dont help me much. I can rattle off a ton of them too.
Actually I think my joints may not be able to handle it. When ever I get under 405 I cannot bench for at least a week after that everything hurts. But I did drop a bunch of weight too.
Hats off to ya'll that do the heavy supps. I am too chicken shit for it..lol

I dont agree with pulsing but thats just me.
Lets face it too much of anything (even water) can kill your ass so it is really about self control I guess?
And I am sure you can tons of push ups N8, maybe time for heavy squats, build that core up more and then hit 500?
I want to see that bar bend when you un rack it.

Why do the stupid motherfuckers reading the muscle magazines continue to fall prey to the fancy supplement ads with some guy in a lab coat along with the before and after shots of some fuckin beer guzzling, pizza eating motherfucker that is magically transformed into some muscle bound meat head by simply using some bull shit supplement.
Gotta laugh at the names of these worthless products that gullible people fall for; hydroxycut and animal pump. I'm surprised nobody has come out with a bull shit supplement called "meat head"
I can only think of one reason why the supplement companies continue to trick you stupid motherfuckers into buying their worthless products that don't provide and advantage over a normal balanced diet;
You people don't understand the concept of hard work and discipline. All you people want is just take some magic potion that will quickly transform you from a flabby mother fucker into a champion. Save your fuckin money you dumb shits.

Yea cobraracer you are wrong there playa.
I do agree some go overboard. But the word "supplement" means basically in addition to. There is a reason why all the top athletes in any sport supplement their "balanced diet". So in a sense you are right. Balanced diet is the key. But you are wrong because it is not the only key. You sound like you need to educate yourself. To do what I do and compete like I compete, I would have to eat an absurd amount of calories to get my protein intake and muscle recovery (glutamine) in. But with a normal diet and my whey protein and glutamine I am able to maintain better. And I am not even a pro-athlete, but a simple day job kind of cat that cares about his health.

animal pump works great. it along with other supplements simply compliment a solid diet and workout routine.
oh, and you're right, i don't understand hard work and discipline...that's how i lost 80 lbs in well under a year and have kept it off for 4 years now.
whats it like up there on your pedestal?
