3 Fitness Supplements That Actually Work

My favorite exercise is a mix between a lunge and a crunch.

It’s called lunch!

What, no good? Ok, I’ll try harder next time.

In the last article, I told you that building muscle was mandatory if you want to look like you work out, and what you have to do to make it happen.

If you missed it, you can click HERE and get up to speed.

Today, I’ll tell you about the few key supplements that can help.

I didn’t start with supplements, because well… They’re just not necessary.

If they were, they’d be called “mandatories”.

You can lose weight, get strong, look toned, and make a complete physical transformation without ever taking supplements or joining an MLM.

That being said, if your training is on point, you’re getting 7-8 hours of sleep, and you’re calories and protein are good to go…there are 3 supplements we take regularly that can help.

1 - Protein Powder

Protein powder is just food in processed powder form. Mixing it with water, milk, or a milk alternative gives you a convenient and hopefully delicious way to boost your total daily protein.

Look for a protein powder with about 120-150 calories and 20-25g of protein per serving.

That ensures that most of the calories are from protein, not carbs and fat.

Remember, ladies should eat between 100 and 150 grams of protein per day, and men should go for 150 - 200.

2 - Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine is the most researched performance supplement in history.

It’s not illegal. It’s not steroids. It’s not a stimulant. It’s not only for men or young people. There are no common negative side effects.

It’s a cheap and effective supplement that, simply put, makes your workouts more productive (potentially).

I say potentially because creatine has a molecule that helps your body do more reps per set, but you still have to be willing to put in the hard effort.

5g of creatine monohydrate per day is all it takes. No need to worry about when you take it. Just take it.

I’ve used over 100 pounds of THIS creatine over the last 15 years.

If powders aren’t your thing, and you’re rollin’ deep in cash, you can get creatine gummies like THESE too.

3 - Caffeine

Yes, caffeine! The psychoactive stimulant of choice for 69% of Americans.

Studies have shown time and time again that caffeine is an effective supplement to enhance your performance in the gym.

Get it from a pre-workout, a cup of tea, or a Venti Blonde Roast.

Caffeine takes about 30 minutes to “kick in”, so keep that in mind when you’re timing it around your workout.

Oh yeah… Caffeine’s half-life is 3-6 hours. So if you drink a 200mg pre-workout at 11 am, you’ve still got 100mg in circulation well after lunchtime.

Be mindful of your total daily caffeine, too. Not only does caffeine mess with your sleep, but it can also increase anxiety.

Try not to have more than 400mg of caffeine per day.

Now you have all of the information.
