Slow 2 Pro

Welcome back!

Since the triathlon season is still a few months away in the NW I have been staying busy in the gym lifting weights. I am not trying to become a meat head but due to my body type, building muscle mass isn’t a huge task. That being said though I am always looking for things to help me reach my maximum potential. One way to do this is nutritional supplements. Here is a run down of what I take on a normal training day. This would also be normal for recovery days because you do not want the levels of creatine, vitamins, or available protein to drop. I know you may not understand what some of these are so I will be going over the various supplements over the next couple of weeks posts!

With breakfast-

1 scoop BSN’s N.O. Xplode

1 glucosamine/chondroidtin

1 Basic vitamin pill, I use costco’s Kirkland daily vitamin

1 scoop of Whey protein (roughly 24grams of protein) I prefer Optimum Nutrition

Post Workout- sooner the better once you have completed training

1.5-2 scoops of Whey protein

1 scoop of a Creatine multi-supplement such as BSN’s Cellmass or Anabolic Optimal Dose; not a steroid

plus an additional teaspoon (5g) of creatine monohydrate

During the day-

Lots of water!!

small snacks, something with a high protein content is great.

Before bed

1 scoop of Casein protein

1 scoop of creatine multi-supplement + 5 grams of creatine monohydrate

1 glucosamine/chondroidtin

1 Basic vitamin pill, I use costco’s Kirkland daily vitamin

and LOTS OF WATER
