Which Supplements Work Well With Whey Protein To Build Muscle?

By Russ Howe


If you don't know how to build muscle but you'd like to learn the basics, the world of supplements is one area which should be tackled quite early in your fitness journey. That's because learning which supplements to take is an often expensive habit which most people put down to little more than trial and error.

Most folks are able to pick up a whey protein product, but when they look to add other supplements alongside it to increase their results they come unstuck in a sea of misinformation and sales pitches from companies vying for their hard earned money.

Today is about learning the foundations. You'll discover what works best alongside whey when it comes to building lean tissue.

There are countless products out there which will undoubtedly tell you that you need them in order to get more from each workout. This applies to those looking to lose weight as well as those trying to build mass. However, while many of them are quick to give bold statements, few of them are quite as fast to back up their claims with real, scientific evidence. Today's lit comprises only of items which have stood the test of time.

1. A Creatine Monohydrate product.

2. Glutamine, one of the amino acids, to increase recovery.

3. Amino Acids.

If you were able to increase your body's ability to perform high intensity, explosive activities would you do it? That's exactly what products such as Creatine are designed to help you do. That's right, despite the huge hype and many myths surrounding this substance, that is literally the bottom line of what it is designed to help you achieve.

It's a relatively old product which first sprung to the attention of coaches around the world during the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 when it was utilized by the coaches of short distance sprinters. It didn't take long for bodybuilders and other fitness enthusiasts to realize that they could apply the benefits of this product to their workout sessions in order to help themselves lift more weight.

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.

If you have been training in the gym regularly you will already understand the importance of the recovery period following every workout. Your muscles do not grow while you lift weights, it happens while you let them rest and sleep. The best product on the market to take advantage of this period is glutamine.

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.

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.

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.
