There are dozens of different supplement brands selling protein supplements. However, there are only three actual kinds of protein. Each kind of protein should be considered when you’re beginning to build muscle and lift weights.
Bodybuilding and building muscle demands more than just throwing some heavy weights around. To reach the best results possible, you need to be constantly aware of your body’s nutritional needs.
Your well-rounded diet should fuel your body with plenty of protein and complex carbs. Why are these important? Well, protein is the building block essential to all muscle tissue in your body. Protein is in charge of repairing muscle damage — when you workout, you tear the muscle, and when it is repaired, it grows larger. Some food with high quantities of protein are milk and eggs.

When buying supplements that you have never heard of before you should always check around the web for supplement reviews websites to see what others are saying about them. I usually like to browse these reviews sites just to see what people are saying about products as well.
You can also check muscle forums, as a lot of people post “supplement journals” where they document their progress while trying a new supplement for the first time. Always a good read. I recommend checking out these supplement reviews sites:
There you go, tons of resources for good supplement reviews!
Muscle and Strength has been around for ages and they just launched a new store with rock bottom supplement and shipping prices. I was one of the first to get in and buy some gear from their store and it only took a few days for my order to get here and I got loads of free stuff (free natural muscle magazine, sames of Superpump 250 and volugrow).
I’m telling you right now if you’re still shopping at GNC or buying supplement from your gym you’re paying way to much! Not only that, when you shop at a local store you’re paying 7+% sales tax! I paid no sales tax on my Muscle and Strength order, shipping was only 4 bucks and it only took 2 days to get here.
If you don’t know what to get check out my top 7 supplement post.
No-Xplode is an awesome pre-workout supplement, it’s up there with my top 5 without a doubt. But unfortunately after a while (about 3-4 weeks) it starts to lose it’s effectiveness. This happened to me, and has happened to many other people that I have spoken to in the gym and on the web.
Last week I got an email from someone who was confused about what whey protein isolate was, so I thought I’d post up a quick definition to clear up some confusion. Before I post it up I just want to point out that there are 3 main types of whey protein. These are whey protein blends, whey protein isolate, and when protein concentrate. What protein you decided to use depends on your budget and goals.
There are a lot of new nitric oxide products coming onto the market. Nitric oxide is relatively new in the supplement world, but is extremely popular amongst bodybuilders and strength trainers. Personally when I saw the first nitric oxide supplements I thought it was pure hype and nitric oxide would go away. But results have proved me wrong. There are loads of guys getting excellent results from supplementing with NO2.
So what are the best nitric oxide supplements? I have tried quite a few NO2 products over the years and I’m going to post my top 5. I still do cycle NO2 on 2 weeks on, 1 week off now. I user BSN’s No-Xplode.
Over the past 3 weeks I have received a couple of emails from concerned people asking about weight gainer pills. These skinny guys were desperate to gain weight, so much so that they were willing to try just about anything - even weight gainer pills!
It’s these type of people that the makers of weight gainer pills prey on. These unethical companies label what are essentially multivitamin pills as “weight gainer pills”. The fact is, that these weight gainer pill will not help you gain weight at all! If you want to gain weight, you should be looking at weight gain powders. Here’s a quick lesson on how to gain weight…

Body Fortress whey protein has been recommended to me a number of times by people I know in my gym. I usually like to stick to a product when I like it, so I have been using Optimum Nutrition whey protein for about 4 years! When my protein tub was getting low last week I thought I’d buy a small tub of Body Fortress whey to test it out and post the results up here on this blog.
Below you’ll find my Body Fortress Whey Protein review. I have been using it now for 3 weeks. If you have tried Body Fortress whey post in the comments and let me know what you thought of it.
Today I’m going to talk about the creatine dangers, or should I say, extremely rare but possible dangers. Creatine is one of those supplements that most people know very little about, this leads to wild accusations and claims being made about it. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out this creatine myths post and you’ll get it.
Creatine is one of the most widely used supplements in sports all around the world today. From 1996, it has been one of the most (if not the most) used supplement at the Olympic games.
