1 Supplement

I hear lots of poeple on this forum singing the preaises of many supplemnts and dogging down others. My question is, If you all could only take 1 just 1 supplement for training/weight or size gain, what would it be? The be all and end all mother of supplements.

thanks in advance

EDIT: If you really feel necessary to put more than one, put 3 max and rank them in order. Thanks

 

whey w/a good amt of bcaas

 

mick, i was gonna say something like dbol/winni/test. but i went with the simple answer. i love lists too.

 

i would keep glutamine. my fav supplement. best for me for recovery imo

 

I like lists if I agree with them but when somebody makes a stupid list, I get annoyed.

 

Besides Anavar, I'd have to say my Megafoods multi.

 

my multi, fish oil, and greens... o yeh and fiber & protein.. lol (for me at least :wink: )

 

if we're excluding the basic vitamins and such i'd say muscle milk... the end all, be all? nope, but it worked for me in terms of helping me cut fat and build mass. In the past year I've gained 10 lbs, but lost a good amount of body fat.

 

Caffeine. I'd rather have the benefits of that in all aspects in life than some other supp gives me in only physical activity. I mean, post workout I can take a chicken breast for protein, sugar and oatmeal for fast/slow carbs and put it in a blender. I"m not saying it works, I'm just saying I can do it.

Top 3?

Caffeine
Alcohol
Steroids

**not simultaneously unless I don't have work/school the next day.

 

I was only 1/2 serious. But I don't think there is one super supplement. That is like saying "If you could only do one asstance exercise what would it be?" Its impossible because they are a small part of the picture and used to enhance other things. You cannot choose between close grip bench and reverse hypers.

Supps are only supplements. This has been said a lot, but it needs to keep on being said. You only supplement the aspect of your diet that you are lacking. Or you supplement a minor thing that you believe that you cannot get in significant quanities with a realistic diet. They are minor, and they all assist each other. Protein is not better or worse than a multi, and creatine is not better or worse than ECA. They all help and their rewards are normally synergistic when combined.

 

Multivitamin/mineral

 

Hey man....can I come over?

 

Haha. No problem, as long as you leave the all natural bee pollen and tree bark from the spiritual tree of life at your place. Also if I see you with some sort of yoga mat you are not getting in :wink:

The only natural thing that enters my body is Natural light, and that is only if I"m running low on funds.

 

Either a multivit if you consider that a supplement, or whey.

 

Fish oil. Why? Cause Dan John says so.

 

I don't think alcohol is a supplement man....it's more like an anti-supplement. lol

 

Whey Protein Isolate

 

Since I dont consider anything your body NEEDS in order to work a supplement, (protein, fat, carbs, vitamins, minerals, water), im gonna say creatine monohydrate. Cheap, easy to use, and it works.

 

Was kinda hoping there would be a clear cut 3 at the top of the list. Something like Whey protein, creatine then glutamine. I'm trying to work out what supplements to take for lean mass gain.

this is the whey protein i have been using
