A Beginner's Guide To Bodybuilding Supplements, Supplement Use, and Supplement Stacks (Part I)Understanding The Basics Of Bodybuilding SupplementsThis is gonna be a rather long, 5 part beginners guide to using, and getting the most out of the basic supplements. So, if you got a few mins, read on... More and more people are using various supplements like creatine, proteins, prohormones etc. to enhance their gains, and alot of times, they do so without really understanding how each supplement work, and fail to put the supplements to best use for optimal gains. And I'm just talking about the basics like creatine monohydrate, whey protein supplements, glutamine, and some weight gainers like N Large 2. I get quite a few emails asking about various supplement combinations, stacking different supplements, or how to use some supplements. After my recent return to serious lifting after a one year layoff, I did a basic cycle (about 7 weeks) using the basics, and came back with a 18lb gain in these 7 weeks. (of course, its always easier to gain back what you lost.) So, I'm writing this (probably long) guide now to answer some of these most often asked questions, and hopefully help you out. ;-) Now, this guide is just for beginners who are using some basics supplements, but lack a good understanding, or for anyone who's considering using some supplements for the first time. If you've been using supplements for awhile, then you probably shouldn't waste your time reading this. But feel free to do so. Hopefully after you read this, you'll gain a good understanding of the basic supplements, and learn to use them to maximize your gains. So, here's what you can hopefully get out of this guide:
