Need held deciding what supplements to take for body building?
Hi iv recently taken up weight lifting and i would be very grateful for any advice on which supplements work best for this activity as im realy confused about which one,s to buy as there are so many on the market it makes choosing the correct one’s very confusing for the bigginer. Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me Lee
the only one i ever take is whey protein (link at the bottom) and its the only one that actually works. If you want to gain some muscle you have to up your protein intake a good bit (for me its about 150 grams a day, although as a beginner you wont need that much, which is about 8 chicken breast fillets, tasty i know but not really feasible, so i use the whey protein to help me up my intake a bit, usually take it about 3 times a day (2 is enough for a beginner) mid morning, mid afternoon, and then close to midnight before sleep. Its handy because you can take it to the office etc.
The one is use is unflavoured mixed with low fat milk it really doesn’t taste much of anything so i just neck it.

Don’t waste your money.
Just eat properly…
Medical research shows that consuming too much protein — more than 30% of your total daily caloric intake — could actually harm your body.
Adding more protein but not more calories or exercise to your diet won’t help you build more muscle mass, but it may put your other bodily systems under stress.
Ideally, you should consume 0.36 grams of protein for every pound of body weight, according to recommended daily allowances (RDA) set by the Food and Nutrition Board. So if you weigh 170 pounds, you need about 61 grams of protein each day.
Whether you are an avid strength trainer, a marathon runner, or just an average exerciser, a balanced diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fish, and complex carbohydrates is what nutritionists recommend.
