I know this is a very researched topic. I've read up on some of them. But I was wondering if anyone has had any success with them? Do any of the. Actually work?
My supplement stack is this. Whey protein, and creatine. Post workout
Usually after jiu jitsu class and after boxing class I would drink Gatorade mixed with BCAAs. I read they are supposed to be good for recovery. But a lot of experts say amino acids and BCAA are a waste of money.
If I understand correctly, doesn't the protein we consume break down into amino acids? Aren't amino acids what makes muscles grow? If so, howcome we can't just take large amounts of BCAA and amino acids?
That's the first part. Next part. Any other supplements that help with strength? Like Leukic? Gakic?
Any other ones I missed?
Has anyone tried Hica-Max muscle growth ? They are chewables
When I competed this past September the promoter of the meet handed out a gift bad to the lifters, and there were some samples of the Hica max. I read up on it and found some reviews. Wondering if they work? I think their like $20 for a bottle.
A lot of times when people ask what good supplements are the response is food. I've been trying to increase my food intake. I have noticed that eating a larger meal a couple hours before training helps.
I'm just wondering everyone's opinions on OTC supplements and if they have used any that work or help.
