Supplements / pre
Just wanted to inform beginners about some supplements and which are beneficial, and which are not.
- Pre workout
I recommend pre workout on a day that's earlier then 5 pm and you are tired - if its 6 am and your exhausted I would recommend doing nothing over 300 mg. At 16, I don't take over 200 mg. You can also take non stim but those are a rip off in my opinion. You can always buy caffeine pills (like Aiden) and beta alanine. there is a lot of bad stuff in per workout that is sometimes not worth it.
some brands i do recommend are bucked up and ryse.
2.creatine
creatine is MANDATORY. creatine is pretty cheap if you buy in bulk, its super helpful and you are not maxing out your physique without it. There are no true side effects, just make sure you're drinking a lot of water because it can cause kidney damage if you're taking 10g+ and not drinking a lot of water.
3.ashwaganda
I took ashwagandha for almost a year and it really helped my physique. At the time I didn't know you were supposed to take it for a month so you can have withdrawals. I recommend.
4.DHEA and Tribulus
I have never taken these, but I know Aiden does and he has spoken super highly of them. I would personally not take them unless i had 3 years under my belt. and it may have an effect if you take them at a younger age like pre workout (i am not 100% sure of this, this is all of what I think)
5.Turkesterone (Turk builder)
I would NOT recommend this; i took this for a couple weeks and i felt sick the whole time, I don't think this is a coincidence because the day I stopped I felt better, this increased my strength a little bit, but I do not think it's worth it. It seemed to be a placebo and promoted by youtubers who are looking to promote a supplement for money.
6: protein snacks (like quest) chips, protein bars, protein powder
I personally believe that protein bars are a waste. protein bars usually don't taste good and 20ish grams of protein isn't even that much. A week crafted protein shake could surpass 80g of protein and fill you up as much as a bar. I like the protein chips, but I also think they're somewhat a scam. If you eat any type of meat or peanut butter or any good quality protein, it will always be more beneficial than a bar. I would rather have 3 good meals with 100g+ each then have consistent bars and protein "snacks" this may be an L take but I just don't think bars and the cookies and chips are that good. If you like the taste, then definitely get them but if you don't slightly like the taste it's just not worth it. Protein powder is really good, but I would NOT recommend the mass gainer ones. They are a huge scam; the scoops are so big that you run out of a whole can of it in less than a week if you follow the serving size. Protein isolate is a lot better. Some brands I would recommend are optimum nutrition, ryse and iso100 from dynamize.
I WOULD RECOMMEND PROTEIN POWDER AND MAYBE SOME OF THOSE QUEST CHIPS
eat like Aiden to look like him.
I did not add multivitamin and other things like that, but I do recommend everything Aiden promotes in his video.
THESE ARE PURELY "TRUST ME" ADVICE i do not claim that all of this is valid info but from all my experiences this is what I have learned.
