Nutritional supplements beyond daily meals: My supplement stack
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
