To
supplement or not to supplement? That is the question, and
an important one at that.
"Do
bodybuilders really need supplements?"
Let's examine that
question.
The first thing to
look at when trying to answer the million-dollar question
about supplements (with the ever-increasing revenues of the
supplement industry I should more accurately call it a
"billion-dollar question") is what do we define as
"need"? |
The question seems to be,
"do we really need supplements"? But the answer to that
completely depends upon what it is that we do or do not need them
for. Let's examine a couple of different definitions.
"Do
bodybuilders need supplements to become bigger and stronger?"
The answer to this
question? No!
Regardless of what the
million-dollar supplement companies would have you believe,
supplementation is not mandatory in the pursuit of increased muscle
mass and strength. Anyone who trains hard and focuses on consuming
adequate amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fats from whole foods
can and will see a significant increase in muscle size and strength.
If you want to become
bigger and stronger, supplements are not mandatory. Period.
So given this fact,
bodybuilders shouldn't use any supplements, right?
Wrong.
Let's examine the second
definition.
"Do
bodybuilders need supplements to become as big and strong as they
possibly can?"
The answer to this
question? Yes!
Although supplements are
not mandatory to become bigger and stronger, they ARE mandatory if
your goal is to become as big and strong as you possibly can. By
investing in the right products and using the proper amounts, you
can definitely gain an extra edge and see superior gains than a
person who has chosen not to go the supplement route.
With the endless hours of
hard work and dedication that you put in at the gym and at home on
your quest to achieving the physique you desire, it only seems
logical that a few extra bucks should be spent each month on a few
reputable products in order to maximize your gains.
The question you simply
have to ask yourself is, "how much are my muscle gains worth to
me?" If an extra boost in strength at the gym and lean muscle
tissue is worth the price of that bottle of creatine, then it makes
sense to purchase it. If a minimization of muscle breakdown and
increased immune system strength is worth the price of that bottle
of glutamine, then it makes sense to purchase it.
"Do
bodybuilders really need supplements?"
If you're serious about
achieving the most significant muscle size and strength gains that
you possibly can, then I definitely would recommend a basic and
straightforward supplement plan to maximize your results.
Here are the 5 most
basic supplements that I would recommend:
1) Whey
Protein
2) Creatine
3) Glutamine
4) High-Potency Multivitamin
5) Essential Fatty Acids
This is a great place to
start and will go a long way in increasing your lean muscle mass,
strength and fat burning capabilities. There are definitely a lot of
worthless, ineffective supplements out there, but these 5 basic
products have been shown time and time again to be both effective
and worth the cost. If you're looking to gain an extra edge and are
serious about reaching your muscle-building goals, they are
definitely worth looking into.
