This is a supplement that has proved itself time and again. There is still some conservesy about how healthy the supplement is. Some doctors think it may have long term affects on the body. Users report tremendous gains in size and strength while taking Creatine. It causes the muscle cell to suck in water like a sponge. This is why users see dramatic weight gains so quickly. Since the water is inside the cell it leaves the muscle looking fuller but not smooth looking. During this cell volumization the muscle will utilize protein more efficiently. Allowing it to recover faster.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle. During an intense workout your muscles use glycogen for fuel. Once your glycogen level is low your muscles release amino acids into your bloodstream for fuel. If you don't replace these amino acids shortly after the workout you will be in a catabolic state. Which means your body is canabolizing itself. I suggest taking 2 to 3 grams of glutamine before and after each workout.

A good whey protein powder will contain around 20 to 30 grams of protein and not alot of sugar. Normally you are to have a lot of protein in your diet when weightlifting, so these help you. It is also the most tested and safest thing to use. I suggest if you are new at weightlifting you start with protein.

Multi-Vitamins are a good supplement to keep on hand because it allows you to cover all your bases. It is the bare mininium for weightlifters as supplements and also helps as a add on to other supplements. Sure you get a wide range of vitamins and minerals from eating fruits and vegetables. But sometimes you may not get around to eating a good variety of foods, fear not because the Multi-Vitamin has it covered.

Thermogenics are popular mainly because of their ability to burn fat without exercise. The key ingredients are (MaHuang Extract)Ephedrine and (Guarana Extract)Caffeine. These ingredients combined create a thermogenic cocktail that will help you alot. The science behind all this magic is simple. When taken, Ephedrine and Caffeine cause your body to generate heat. This in turn causes your body to burn calories to fuel this heat. Which leads to a trimmer, slimmer you without exercise.

A relatively safe fat-loss method. Each of these three thermogenic agents increase your basal metabolic rate (BMR) slightly, allowing you to drop some of your bodyfat for fuel. Interestingly, the energy for ECA tends to come from bodyfat and not carbohydrate stores. Combined together in proper proportions, the ECA stack functions synergistically, in that the combined lipotropic effect is greater than sum of each of the components.
An effective ratio is Ephedrine 30mg, Caffeine 200mg, Aspirin 300mg. However, it seems that a baby aspirin may do equally well. Unlike other fat-loss methods, the weight tends to stay off moderately well with ECA.

Given the fairly good response many people seem to be having with this "supplement", it appears that it may be yet another quality product that actually "works". Androstene is a legal "supplement" that converts fairly well to testosterone and can increase your basal levels by a significant factor, for a period of a couple hours. Reports indicate that users get great workouts having taken the Androstene (most people that are seeing effects are taking ~200-300mg prior to workouts), along with some getting great strength gains. These momentary elevations of testosterone may help increase growth. One warning is that some people have reported a few side-effects at moderate dosing, so one should be careful not to overdo it. Your epitestosterone:testosterone ratio will also be high (eg. 14:1 instead of 6:1) and will cause you to test positive in some steroid tests. However, because the product is currently legal, this should not be a problem. Thanks go to our local MFW Pat Arnold for bringing this product out. We need to see more results from people before we can be assured that the effect is there, but it seems to be promising.

Quality protein sources include: tuna (packed in water), chicken breasts, salmon, low-fat yogurt, skim milk powder, chocolate milk. In addition, look out for Flaxseed Oil or other good sources for Omega 3 & Omega 6 fatty acids.
