If you really want to support bodybuilding, take your supplement money and buy a ticket to an IFBB show. That's direct support. The supplement companies will still do very well, there's millions of gullible consumers available to them who could care less about contest bodybuilding.

I'VE EXPERIMENTED WITH SUPPLEMENTS ON AND OFF SINCE I WAS 18. I HAVE YET TO FIND ONE THAT REALLY AND TRUELY WORKS ALL THAT WELL. YES, SOME HAVE DONE THEIR JOB FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT I HAVE ALSO DUMPED ALOT OF $ INTO SOME TOTALLY WORTHLESS ONES! I DO READ ALOT, AND MOST OF THE RTHINGS I READ ALL AGREE THAT THE TOP SUPPLEMENTS ARE CREATINE, GLUTAMINE, A GOOD MULTI-VITAMIN, AND PROTEIN POWDER. I DON'T USE CREATINE ANYMORE.

I think the only thing worth using is the stuff called "Hollywood Diet" or something...Its like 20 bucks for a gadorade style bottle...You see there ads all over the place...

Vitamin C - yes i think it helps
Multi - probably more extra insurance
Iron - i have had low levels b4 from training a lot taking one tab a day made a huge difference to my energy levels (only really worked cause the levels were low)
Zinc - insurance again

Protein Powder is rubbish to me, i tried swapping it with real foods and i could tell it was not the same

Most people want to believe they will work

Most will eat more and train harder and not miss sessions when they take supplements because 'i am taking supplements i better make the most out of them!' when it is the extra work that does it

Since finding steroids is next to impossible now, supplements is all that is readily available.

I don't see where my training would be without them as do a few here..

I've been taking Atlarge Nutrition's Results creatine supplement, Nitrean protien blend, and Maximus for meal replacements along with ETS for DOMS and couldn't be happier. Definately helps keep recovery up there that's for damn sure.. especially when you're not on the sauce!

Thin Lizzy · « **Reply #70 on:** September 21, 2008, 11:49:16 PM »

I must confess that a teenaged Thin Lizzy spent some of his after-school job money on supps, mainly protein power. Unless I mistook "Excessive Farting" for muscle growth, I saw absolutely no results.

Twenty five years later, my opinion is the same as JocktheGlide's. You need no supps, of any kind, at all. They are a complete waste of money.

JOCKTHEGLIDE · « **Reply #71 on:** September 22, 2008, 05:46:47 AM »

dont forget to buy the nitric oxide with 2000mg of vitamin C

Triple-H_2005 · « **Reply #72 on:** September 22, 2008, 09:02:31 AM »

I only use whey, multi-vitamin and L-Arganine.

I used to love the n-xide products, but that's just TOO much $$$. I found that 3g of Arganine works just as well if you want the crazy pump and is FAR cheaper.

Just my $.02.

Fish oil from the bottle. Straight, no chaser.

Cooked egg white shakes and tuna shakes. It's food, but not in the traditional sense.

Some protein powders cost as much as $160 for 3.75 lbs in Aus, so that's a "no fuckin' way" right there.
