On weekdays, I see many friends in the gym who have just started exercising. They always talk about how many supplements they use. They also say that they are going to buy which one to try tomorrow. I have heard that some supplements have good effects. Many people believe that the more supplements they take, the higher their levels will be. Is this really possible?

Friends who put supplements first, please be careful, because you will never become a master in this way. We can think of supplements as gasoline and various additives. To make a car run faster, the more gasoline and richer additives, the better. Whether the car is faster or not depends on its internal modifications. The same goes for bodybuilding. No matter how good the external nutrition is, without the foundation of scientific training and daily diet, there will not be much change. For beginners, if they can do every training movement and ensure a good daily diet, they will basically get muscle growth. Don't be tempted to take shortcuts right from the start. Supplements will speed up your muscle growth, but they won't help you much when you haven't even done the exercises yet. Don't just listen to the introductions from those "experts" at the beginning, because they may not have used it themselves, and the effects are only based on what they heard, so they certainly cannot give you the most reasonable advice.

I remember when I was selling supplements, many people asked me, I now have protein powder, creatine, testosterone, and branched chain. Do you think I need anything else? I really want to know, do you want to use supplements as food? Do you want to eat? Then I learned about his daily situation. He has been training five times a week for three months and has three normal meals every day. It’s only been 3 months since his muscles reached their limit. Just using some protein powder and branched chain supplements is enough. I didn’t give him any more supplements, I just asked him to use up the supplements he has now. , and at the same time make a good daily diet. It can be seen that he is eager for rapid muscle growth, but he is going in the wrong direction. When the quality of training and daily diet have not reached certain requirements, it is very undesirable and impossible to use supplements to make up for everything. What's the effect?

When do you need to use supplements? This is actually very simple, when your daily diet cannot satisfy you. Weight-bearing training will put more demands on various nutrients (protein, vitamins, etc.). Most peopleDaily diet often cannot meet the nutritional requirements, so appropriate supplements are needed. The first problem we face is insufficient protein intake. Due to Chinese eating habits, the protein in each meal cannot fully meet the protein needs of weight-bearing training. At this time, we can increase it appropriately after training and before going to bed. Protein supplement, remember, just the right amount. In fact, it will also give us signals when our body needs nutrients, which requires us to feel our body carefully. For example: before we need to supplement strength-enhancing supplements, it will be difficult for us to increase our strength for a period of time; if the body cannot recover from a few days after training for a long time, it means that we should appropriately supplement some recovery-promoting supplements. Got supplements.

The more supplements, the better. You must learn to choose and calculate the amount of supplements according to your needs. If your daily diet can meet the requirements, there is no need to take additional supplements. It's best to speak with your own body feelings, but of course this requires some time and experience. In short, don’t rush into anything. Supplements are just supplements, they are just additional supplements to your daily diet.
