I’ve also tried creatine and it didn’t effect me too much. I find leucine and glutamine help with recovery and strength.
And of course I take whey protein as a PWO shake. It helps a bunch.

I’ve taken creatine before.. didn’t really notice any difference really.

Other than that I take whey protein, but probably too inconsistent to really notice a difference (oh well.. it’s quite healthy anyway).

Don’t really care much for supplements to be fair, it costs quite a lot of money and most people try to use it as an ‘easy way out’. I mean, if you’re a UFC/MMA fighter.. you have to take supplements in order to restore energy and speed up recovery time. Most gym warriors don’t train hard enough to really benefit from supplements.

That’s exactly what I take, though at the moment I’m on a clean bulk – trying to gain as much muscle as possible before I go on a cut. It’s just about winter here anyway

Thats similar to what I was doing, the supplements not the loading. Protein is something I want in my diet. I

I take whey protein in the morning and after workout and normal protein powder before bed. Then I also take glutamine, multivitamins and fish oil.
For creatine only as specified in the ebook metabolic surge which I’m following, it’s only 3 days loading dose every 12 days, not really using it like it’s intended to.

At the moment I’m simply following the ebook as many times as will be necessary to get the fat % down to a reasonnable level and then I’ll be able to think about what to do next.

At the time I used it, I was doing Power Factor workouts, working out only once per week, so with that much downtime, I wouldn’t have noticed any difference with recovery.

I’m doing HIT right now from Mentzer’s Heavy Duty 2. Only thing I’m doing is diet (no sugar, reduced portions).

Glutamine is very effective in the recovery stage, I have always used it in training just because I used a specific method which increased frequency of workouts. Since I was doing more workouts, I needed to recover faster – and glutamine really worked for me.

I took liver tabs for BCAA’s, they’re cheap … but, they’re huge horse pills. High in protein in general, they are a great supplement.

Glucosamine is great when you start to feel sore joints, a good Clucosamine Sulfate taken regularly over time is great for joints and tendons.

Glutamine helps with recovery time, did you notice any change in recovery? I had the same effect with amino acids when I first took them too.

I had been training for about a year and a half when I started taking amino acid pills at the end of my workouts. My strength shot up and I noticed a big change in my body. I took them for 3 months. I was already taking a protein shake during the day normally and as I drove home from the gym.

I had taken glutamine and glucosamine but noticed no change or benifit.
