Which Supplements Work Well With Whey Protein To Build Muscle?

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Howe Russ</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>If you are trying to decide which supplements to take you will notice that most of the consumers in the health and fitness industry are confused and lost. For some, trying to figure out how to build muscle may as well be rockets science.<br /> <br /> While it is easy to start by grabbing a whey protein shake, the water becomes a little bit more murky when people try to progress on to adding additional products to work alongside it. Hype is king in the fitness industry and very few people take the time to learn what to look for in a product.<br /> <br /> Today you are going to discover which products work well alongside whey in a good muscle building diet. <br /> <br /> The fitness industry is dominated by hype, like most other areas of consumer driven business. This hype tends to cause mass confusion, with many people trying new products on a monthly basis and not seeing any results. The items on today's list are time-tested, science driven and form the backbone of any serious workout program.<br /> <br /> 1. Creatine.<br /> <br /> 2. Glutamine to aid recovery.<br /> <br /> 3. BCAA's.<br /> <br /> Creatine is incredibly popular and widely available. Yet despite it's mainstream reputation, few people know what it is actually doing for their body. If you want to build your strength and size this product is particularly useful because it allows you to perform high intensity activities for slightly longer.<br /> <br /> Sprinters were the first athletes to use this product and if you think about it, it's quite easy to see why this is the case. If you were able to run faster for slightly longer period there is a good chance you will be able to achieve a new personal best time in a big race. Now put this into a gym context. What would be the possibilities if you were able to perform an explosive moving, such as lifting a weight on a bench press, for slightly longer?<br /> <br /> However, with so many different blends and formulas of creatine out today it can be just as confusing choosing one as it can be to learn about the effects of the substance in the first place. This may shock you a little bit in a world where new is considered better, but the formula which has by far the most research behind it is the cheapest and oldest form. We are talking about Creatine Monohydrate. <br /> <br /> As any experienced trainer will tell you, the importance of the recovery period following your gym session cannot be overplayed. In fact, this is absolutely key to your long-term results and if you fail to take advantage of the post-workout period you will be seriously short-changing yourself. The best way to increase results during this important period, as far as supplements go, is a substance such as glutamine.<br /> <br /> Most people know this product for it's benefits to the immune system but there are also other notable gains to be made. By improving your resistance to minor colds, which you will be susceptible to if you are training hard on a regular basis anyway, will mean you miss fewer sessions and you hit each workout with maximum potential. However, it will also work behind the scenes to ramp up your production of growth hormone which, naturally, will help you to increase results even further.<br /> <br /> The final item today is Branched Chain Amino Acids. There are over twenty in total and your body will use these to create more lean tissue during the recovery phase following a tough session with your barbell. While you will get a good serving in your whey protein, science suggests that results can be improved drastically by taking a branched chain amino acid product on top.<br /> <br /> For most people the gym is the easy part and they find the scientific nutritional information far more difficult to navigate through. If this was previously you, you're now in a far more comfortable position from which to decide which supplements to take in order to build a more muscular body.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>Writer: Learn <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc3I8rE-pFs">which supplements to take</a> to build a leaner physique with the UK's most followed fitness instructor, Russ Howe PTI.
