Does a muscle building program really need supplements?
I really hate to disappoint you, but weightlifting supplements are no shortcut to success. You probably already knew this deep down inside, but you may have spent a bunch of money when purchasing these kind of supplements. If so, you have probably been quite disappointed and have already learned this lesson.
Even protein powders, which are relatively helpful supplements, are not absolutely necessary. While they're helpful when it's difficult to consume adequate calories or protein, a bunch of powder with artificial ingredients thrown in is not a substitute for a solid, healthy meal plan.
The other day I went to a used bookstore, and as I got thirsty I decided to go next door and buy a bottle of water. It turns out that the store was a supplement store that focused on products for building muscle. On the shelves were protein bars and big tubs of powder with pictures of impressive body builders and flashy headlines. I spent $1.50 on the bottled water (hey, I was thirsty, right?) and started to think about how much money is thrown away on bodybuilding supplements.
Expert trainer Vince Delmonte tells us that nutritional supplements make very little difference in a muscle building program.
He explained that the core of your results will come from your weightlifting exercises, your nutrition, and your recovery methods. Only when all of these fundamentals are in place should you even consider spending money on supplements. Even then, you may only see a slight boost in your performance. Chances are you'll notice anything at all.
You'll be more successful taking your fitness the next level by mastering basic training recovery and nutrition techniques. Pick up any bodybuilding magazine nearby and I promise you that the only thing those supplement advertisements will deliver is a lighter wallet."
Much of the confusion about muscle building, and about most other goals in life, comes from a failure to recognize the basics. We're always looking for shortcuts or a magic bullet, because we're not willing to put in the work. Or, we simply don't believe that the fundamentals aren't good enough to give us the results we want.
You can then consider something like creatine to give you an extra little boost for advanced progress. Learning to rely on supplements first can put a heavy load on your bank account and ingrain some pretty unhealthy habits like choosing quick fixes instead of learning discipline and commitment. If you're now convinced that weightlifting supplements are not shortcuts to muscle growth but still that have the knowledge to train on your own, consider investing some time (and even some money) in a comprehensive muscle building system. Learn the basics of how to train, how to eat, and how to recover. Doing this will be much more effective and much cheaper in the long run than relying on the latest supplements fad. - 17268
