Current Supplements

Here is a list of everything that I take that is a supplement. Someone defined a supplement to me as “anything your grandmother wouldn’t consider food” so I will go with that.

Whey protein
brand: Optimum
dosage: three to five scoops (in skim milk) per day
notes: This is basically dried milk. Milk is made up of two types of protein, curds and whey. Whey is the fastest-absorbing protein that you can buy, so you should have (AT A MINIMUM) a protein shake as soon as you wake up, 30 minutes before your workout, and immediately after your workout. Protein is the most important supplement for anyone who wants to tone up.
Flax seed oil
brand: misc
dosage: 2g to 8g per day (1g gel caps)
notes: Good Omega3s. I don’t know enough about this to talk. I just know it makes my skin less dry and it is good for your heart.
ZMA (Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate)
brand: Optimum
dosage: three pills before bed
notes: Zinc is good for men. Supposedly a natural testosterone booster. Helps me sleep a little deeper at night (and I can remember my dreams MUCH better). However you MUST take this on an empty stomache.
Creatine Monohydrate
brand: generic
dosage: 2.g to 5g per day, mixed in a protein shake
notes: Every lay person that I talk to thinks that creatine was banned by the FDA. Are you crazy?? Look it up on Wikipedia - It is NOT a steroid. Creatine is universally accepted as a beneficial supplement, especially for vegetarians. It is a naturally-occuring substance found in red meat. Helps for recovery from workouts and other stuff. I guess I don’t know a LOT about this, except that every single body builder I know takes it and has taken it for years.
Multi-vitamin
brand: Optimum Opti-Men
dosage: two to three per day, taken with a meal
notes: Good to round out my diet. But you still need to eat your fruits and vegetables.
BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids)
brand: SciVation Xtend
dosage: 2 scoops mixed in 2L of water, drink it during the workout
notes: Helps for recovery. Like DIY Vitamin Water.
Nitric Oxide
brand: SuperPump250
dosage: 1.5 to 2 scoops mixed in with 20oz of water, drink after a meal and right before a workout.
notes: If I had to be “ashamed” about anything I would pick this. There is a lot of caffeine in it, and the Nitric Oxide (NO) makes my muscles bulge out a little more than natural. But I like it and I can get good workouts with nice pumps.
Ecdysterone
brand: SciFit
dosage: 1 capsule 1 to 3 times per day, eat with a high-protein meal and drink LOTS of water
notes: Supposed to help with protein synthesis. Verdict is still out if this works, but my friend Allan likes it so I have been giving it a try.

As far as REAL FOOD goes, 80% of my diet consists of skim milk, steel cut oats, tuna fish, ground beef, and eggs.

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words

regimen:

“Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.” - CrossFit
