Top 3 Essential Supplements for Adding Muscle Mass
Filed under: Add Muscle Mass, Supplements
#1 Whey Protein
Whey protein is the ideal protein to consume first thing in the morning, right before your workout and again right after your workout.
Whey protein is perfect for these situations because it’s quick acting, gets to muscles quickly, digests easily and it even contains peptides that increase blood flow to your muscles.
# 2 Casein Protein
About a decade ago casein protein was considered worthless because it was hard to digest and now that’s the primary reason it’s become an essential muscle mass builder.
Casein protein is ideal right before you go to bed. The fact that it is slow to digest makes it ideal before bed because your muscles will be getting a steady stream of protein while you sleep. Think of it as “time-released” protein.
#3 Creatine
Most guys I know who first start taking creatine typically pack on about 10 lbs and make some pretty impressive gains in strength. If that’s not enough to get you off your butt to go out and buy some I don’t know what is.
Creatine is ideal before and after your workout. I’m not going to get into how it works but it’s going to allow you to lift more weight and do more reps. I will however say that creatine is not a steroid. Creatine is made of 3 different amino acids: methionine, glycine and arginine in case you were wondering.
