Supplements who takes what?

[Winter]

How many if any of you guys take supplements to help reach your goals? Anyone take ZMA, either the product or the individual components (zinc, magnesium and Vitamin B6) or take any Testosterone boosters? I know that some of the older guys I know(including my dad) are going to start taking it because of numerous factors, sleep and energy being the biggest two. I am awaiting Animal's Test stak to force gains and growth because I cannot seem to grow muscle because of my current job (mover). I also take Animal's Pak and whey protein. I work out and have seen strength gains but want to add a little more lean mass but stay dense. There was a point where I tried to go the all natural way but it was difficult to get the calories I needed and frankly taking things like the Pak or other multivitamins provides you with more than enough BCAA's and Omega's, and someone would be hard pressed to eat enough food to get the same amount. Also, there are test supps that do not need to be taken with Milk Thistle to negate the side effects on ones liver like other Anabolics give. So who takes what?

I've been taking vitamin C and D, multivitamin, and fish oil for a while now and it's quite good for my goals of increasing energy, alertness, and memory.

I too take the above combo. Greens with every meal and Metamucil@ 31 for the win.

Really reluctant to start anything else. Not for awhile anyway.

I take over the counter pro-hormones. The ones available today have effects that rival injectable steroids and are safe if used properly.

What are they if I may ask, I was thinking of going with some Pro-hormones but decided on the Test stak first.

I see quite a bit here take Metamucil, how do you guys like it? I've taken advocare fiber before but only for a cleanse.

Right now I take Anabolic Technologies "Xtreme Mass" and intend to follow that up with their "Xtreme DMZ". Goofy names I know, but they work. If your a newcomer, the first of the two will put about 10 pounds on you in 2 weeks if you lift regularly and eat half decent. The person I buy from is a trusted friend who is an ex-bodybuilder that owns his own supplement store. He is also a fanatic about having the best new product on his shelves and researches everything. Plus I've been doing this myself for quite a while.


As far as the specifics, pro-hormones are supplements that convert to testosterone in the body. This article is over 3 years old but still a good read. Keep in mind that even better products, such as the above, are available today.

I work as a mail-handler + lifting with the 5-3-1 program + muay thai and a little BJJ so I'm always trying to maintain weight and preserve my joints (knees especially) at the same time.

Daily:
Universal "Real Gains"- basically a protein shake with a bunch of calories
Glucosamine chondroitin
Fish oil capsule


Sometimes:
Zinc
Iron
Melatonin for when I need to fix my sleeping schedule (work grave yard so...)
Creatine
Glutamine

This is of course in addition to eating about 5-6 meals a day consisting of chicken most of the time. If anyone has good skinless chicken thigh recipes, let me know.

Unfortunately I wish I was still a newbie because I could benefit from the new gains! Also unfortunately I eat about as clean as possible, if you can kill it or grow it you can eat it is my mantra. I'm going to look into those pro-h's after my test stak.
