Title: Do the pros really take supplements like creatine, etc?
Post by: Determinator on September 09, 2009, 04:47:55 AM
Do they bother, or is it just all drugs. I mean, if you are whacking doses of gear, would 5g of creatine, glutamine make any difference? They advertise all of these products, but do they really take them? I could see that they probably take whey etc, as that is an actually source of daily protein intake, but i have my doubts if they take, say, beta alanine, or whatever the latest fad is.

Yes, but do they really take them? Be honest, supplements don't do jack really. Okay, protein is about all that is probably worth buying. 5g of glutamine pre and post training is not going to make one massive. Drugs do that, so I can't see the *pros* and other non *pro* trainers taking crap that won't do jack.

they already gulp down a lot of other stuff ( :-X :-X :-X :-X yes, that also) so they won't mind drinking anything they are given to drink either for free or getting paid for drinking it.  :-X :-X

Creatine with waxy maize before and after training with insulin is part of european pro's protocol anyway
And no doubt they take protein and glutamine also
Probably vitamin C in high doses too

No. It's all carefully crafted by the supplement manufacturers and publications to trick the newb into believing that there is HOPE to look like Johnny Pro Bodybuilder but his missing puzzle piece is that he is not using...

 30g of whey upon awakening
 Animal Pak after breakfast along with Vitamin C and Garlic extract.
 1000mg of l-arginine with 3g of beta alanine.
 200mg green tea extract.
 Joint support.
 Thermo.
 Pre-Workout: l-arginine, coral calcium, beta alanine, creatine estersm glutamine, bcaa's, eaa's.
 Post-Workout: 5g of creatine, 10g of glutamine, bcaa's, eaa's, 50g of whey isolate, 40g of waxy maize.
 Bedtime: Casein protein, ZMA.


 When the truth is that's PRO bodybuilders aren't hip or current to the latest and greatest new supplement fads. They know food... lots of real solid food.

When a guy has a contract with a supplement company says he takes the whole product line. When he gets dropped from one day to another he suddenly won't take any of the supplements from that company anymore (and will still look the same).

You do the maths.

Come on guys, Muscletech supplements really work.  They're hyperadvanced: http://www.muscletech.com/products/anabolichalo/index.shtml

Here is an excerpt (you know it has to be good, it's Muscletech!):

The first, Cryogenic Thermomolecular Technology, uses mechanically measured blasts of impossibly low-temperature liquid nitrogen, as cold as -320 degrees Fahrenheit, to thermomolecularly enhance a precise portion of one of the most anabolic compounds on the planet.

The second pharmaceutically inspired technology, called Lyophilization, actually changes the physical state of a proprietary dose of an anti-catabolic complex in ANABOLIC HALO. Lyophilization exploits the micro-molecular process of sublimation which is so advanced, it actually forces molecules within a structure to skip matter states and go directly from a solid to a gas.

The third, cryogenic process, called Anabolic Crystallographic Technology, discharges a 180-minute treatment of liquid nitrogen at -150 degrees Fahrenheit on a critical anabolic compound. The resulting molecular structure is unlike anything ever witnessed in bodybuilding!

The only supplements worth taking IMO is a good whey protein powder and maybe the odd MRP if you're pressed for time at work and need a quick fix. The rest of it is all bullshit. Food is what makes you big.

The only IFBB Pro who I have trained with would rely mostly on food. He did not have a big name supplement sponsor but it seemed like he would only use an occasional pre-workout stimulant drink or sometimes post-workout shake, not a whole lot else.

On the other hand when you look at amateur and natural bodybuilders a lot of them rely heavily on supplements. At the Pro level how your body responds to drugs, genetics, and how far you want to push it are the seperating factors.

Protein, Creatine, and Fish Oil would be beneficial supplements for anyone. A lot of the other products on the market such as NO-Products, Glutamine, PH's, etc. are just money makers for supplement companies.

whey creatine dextrose ..thats all id use of that... also fish oil, multi vitamin, andf maybe some veggie pills. but all that crap isnt gonna make a real differece. fish oil dextrose and whey will, but only as much as any food source with the same would. convenience is key though

It was summed up really well in that book 'Muscle: Confessions of an unlikely bodybuilder' where early on he said the best physiques he saw in gyms weren't built using some weird training system or supplement, it was sheer desperation and whoever was willing to sacrifice the most to get there.

I agree, some of them may drink protein shakes if they don't like taking that much protein in food, but that's about it.  Evertyhing else is pissing in the wind.

Hello??

It's a DVD, don't you think the sponsor wants him to make a little use of that??

These were probably the only 15 pills he took in his life. (supps, of course)

That's fine as long as you can keep up strength in the gym and still get enough protein. A lot of people will probably have problems with the strength part on such low cals.

I'm eating around 3000-3500 when I'm bulking, around 2000-2500 when I'm cutting.

yes, it blends perfectly, better than any other one i had except the US wheys, they are on the same level.

It's really good stuff, and he has a great system of selling neutral protein powder and flavors separatly, so you can either go neutral or add a flavor you like.

The flavors can also be mixed with "Topfen" or other stuff, Topfen with Lemon cheesecake flavor is along the best things i've eaten in my life, lol.

It's really good stuff, and he has a great system of selling neutral protein powder and flavors separatly, so you can either go neutral or add a flavor you like.

The flavors can also be mixed with "Topfen" or other stuff, Topfen with Lemon cheesecake flavor is along the best things i've eaten in my life, lol.

I can send you the URL, if you like, then you can have a look by yourself.  ;)

Yes please.

Yes, why spend money on it when you can get the same quality cheaper?

That's waste.

Maybe i have worked too much in TPS, i think rather cost efficient. The money i have saved on whey i can spend for other stuff.

You don't agree?

Hello??

It's a DVD, don't you think the sponsor wants him to make a little use of that??

These were probably the only 15 pills he took in his life. (supps, of course)

for Melvin, it was before he turned pro, and he was expert at downing 15 pills AT ONE TIME, he was used to it.

With Shawn Ray, He is notoriously cheap, and as he said, he rather go get a steak than get protein powder, he said that the supps were "insurance policies"

For example.

I have been to Japan 2-3 times every year for the last 4 years, i rather buy a plane ticket then go out eating in a restaurant in Japan ed for 4 weeks than spending money on whey that i could have cheaper in the same quality.

And don't forget, i have to buy a lot of diapers now and save money for some expensive university for my son.  ;D ;D

 In Ronnie's UNBELIEVABLE video when he was under contract with MetRx he was ordered to drink a shake and then talk about it on camera but if you look closely his kitchen was littered with Beverly International products.


 I don't consider taking garlic, aspirin, coQ10, vitamin-c supplementing for bodybuilding. Ronnie was just keeping overall health in check.

 Supplements designed to make one believe they will get bigger or stronger muscles, well...


 I know a guy who hired Chris Aceto recently for his run at the USA's. Placed well. Good bodybuilder. In his plan Chris didn't have one single supplement outlined in his diet. Nothing. It was real solid whole food all the time.

 On the other end of the spectrum you have a guy like Justin TROPONIN Harris who is a big believer and advocate of supplementation as he will have lots of different supplements in a diet if one was so inclined to use him.

Most of you that actually compete know that you take various supplements, whereas creatine, protein powder, flax oil, and much more.    Some products are commodities and some products people swear they work great.

As for the pros, yes, many do take supplements, protein powder, etc - whether or not it is from the brand they represent is a different story.  But if someone represents a brand, they usually get some of the products for free (monthly allotment) so of course they tend to use them. 

However, for what works with one person may not work with another.

Not exactly. He's a buisnessman.

 He knows as well as all supplement companies know that the newbs, people who don't compete or people who never get past even plcing at a regional show are the ones who will purchase supplements. He also know that when someone is advanced enough they tend to stop bothering with supplements and focus on alchemy and solid whole food.

 In other words, he has his market and it isn't guys who are fighting for top spots on the National-Level. Those guys are few and far in between in comparision.

 Each and everyday about 1000 new newbies awake and say they want to get into bodybuilding as they march over to a GNC and believe everything they read in FLEX.

Creatine is the only OTC supplement that does anything (apart from some special "supps" that slip through the system sometimes). Some supps are convenient food replacements, but one can just as well do without them and get everything from normal food.

creatine does something just as much as supplements like arginine and leucine and beta alanine do.

however, although they are proven to do something, they dont do anything noticeable

yeah you find creatine in red meat but you would need to eat a few lbs every day in order to get the amount needed for optimal effects, then again the optimal effects arent really that singnificant.

That's what I meant. Creatine hasn't done much for me either, but at least there is some evidence that is improves body composition.

I agree with this post.

 Creatine, the original ma huang ephedra alkaloids and the original 1-Test supps were the only supps that made a real difference in your physique.


 I don't know how els to make this more clear. Umm, let me see...  Okay,

 Look, queerz! Pro Bodybuilders do NOT use nutritional supplements that we see at health food stores and advetised in the magazines. They don't. When they first got into training I am sure they did but once you get to a certain point (national level, upper-national level and beyond) you realize that plain whole solid food is so much more effective so they cease all 'supplements' and just eat whole solid food all the time. No shakes, no N.O. boosters, none of that. Nothing.

 I can't make it more clear. Stop debating this. The answer is NO.

Exactly. It's funny... I know a guy who hired RimMe Handjob who, is passionate about B$N products or whatever, but when he showed me his basic 7-day food outline there wasn't a single supplement listed. Not glutamine, no BCAA, no creatine... nothing.

 I also know a guy who hired Teh Chad. Teh Chad has some part of NXLabs. When I saw what he was doing for his dry-out week written directly from Teh Chad Himself? Not a single supplement listed. Nothing. It was all food and drugs.

i cant seem to find a good source at the moment for you but most red meat contains somewhere beteen 2-6 grams of creatine per pound.
