Do sports supplements actually work? Do you really need supplements in order to build muscle? Are they worth the money? So many questions with even fewer answers...
Let me help clear it up a bit.
Selecting and using the right supplements can be a very confusing subject, with so many products on the market. Supplement advertisers will make you believe that their product will turn you into a Mr. Olympia contender overnight.
As active weight trainers we are bombarded with advertisements about the latest break through or wonder supplement that will literally change our bodies overnight. However, we really need to think about what it is we are expecting from supplements. It’s also important to put supplements into perspective. You can make great gains without supplementation. However, you cannot make great gains without proper training and nutrition.
Sports supplements enhance and promotes the muscle gains made from hard training and nutrition. Supplements should not replace the food in your diet. It is very important that you understand this perspective.
Supplement Rule #1
Quality Food Should Be The Number One Supplement In Your Diet.
Supplements should only be used once you've built your nutritional foundation and have your diet down to a science. Once you have your diet plan down, and are seeing quality results with your training program, you can add sports supplements to enhance your muscle building program.
I suggest you do your homework when it comes to using weight lifting supplements and make an informed decision before consuming any powder, pill, or brew. Read as much literature as possible on your chosen supplement.
If there is any doubt, save you money. You will also want to ensure that the health supplement manufacturer is well established in the industry and not a fly by night company.
