Jeff's Muscle Building Supplements!


muscle makeovers success stories Supplements Used
:

Here’s what I’ve taken as supplements, wouldn’t bet the house that any of them make any difference, but just been in a gamble mood just in case they help: Daily (Morning): GNC Mega Men Sport Dietary Supplement (2 Caplets in the morning) – just a Multivitamin GNC Multi-Oil (3 Softgel Capsules in the morning) – Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids GNC Ultra Water (2 Capsules in the morning) – I credit this towards a lot of my weight loss since I started working out, which I think a lot of it was water. GNC Amino Burst 3000 – your suppose to take on an empty stomach 3 times a day, always forget and always end up taking it just in the AM Daily (Evening) GNC Zinc Magnesium Aspartate – Suppose to take 2 at bedtime, contains hop flowers and valerian root extract, I always forget to take it, but when I do I feel like I smoked pot in the middle of the night or something, its good for sleeping. Daily (3 times) GNC MHM (Beta-Hydroxyl Beta-Methylbutyrate) – I took this for most of the beginning 3-4 months, tend to forget now and haven’t noticed a real change Pre and Post Workouts GNC Creatine Monohydrate (5 Capsules) – I took this since March after each workout and combined it with GNC L-Glutamine (2 Capsules before each workout and 2 after each workout) After each workout I drink a ABB Hi Protein Formula “Extreme Body RTD 50 Monster Shake” that only has 270 calories and 50 grams of protein. Before each workout I drink a ABB Fruit Flavored drink (don’t know the name of it, but it contains caffeine and had about 90 calories). New Daily Addition: I’ve replaced the GNC Creatine Monohydrate (5 Capsules) – I took this since March after each workout, with a Gaspari Nutrition SizeOn (6 Tablets every morning, on and off days), its expensive, like $79.99 for a bottle of 240 tablets, but so far it seems worth it.
