Some of my supplementation

 Hello Friends! 

I am going to give you a quick overview of supplements I think to be important when training heavy weights. I am talking up to 4 times a week, with lots of added cardio.  Remember, although your body is very strong, it still needs support from us if we are going to push it's limits! Take care of your body, you only get one! 

QNT Sport Joint+
Joint support
After I started feeling the strain of lifting in my elbows and wrists, I started taking a regular Joint support.  Really noticed a difference. No joint pains! 

Benefits of taking this includes: 

• Reduce joint pain
• Improve flexibility
• Improve range of motion

Many of the typical nutrients found in joint products tend to work a little bit differently, with some acting as a pain control, others acting as a lubricant and still others helping to rebuild and repair damage.

QNT Sport BCAA tablets

The Many Benefits Of Branched Chain Amino Acid Supplements

This is the one thing I actually pack when leaving on holiday.  If you do not want to lose your hard earned muscle, you have to take these.  I take 2 upon waking up in the morning and 2 before bed. 

This will work for you by slowing down muscle break down and improving protein synthesise. Especially when on a leaning out diet and calorie-deficit. 
They might also help improve workout intensity! BCAAs compete with the amino acid Tryptophan for entry into the brain, where Tryptophan can be converted to the neurotransmitter serotonin.

QNT Sport L-Glutamine

 L-Glutamine

Also a MUST in  my stash.   I take a spoon on waking up and a spoon before bed. Sometimes I'll have a spoon after a really nasty weight session! 

Studies have shown that taking L-Glutamine aids in muscle recovery and can improve metabolism. 
Glutamine plays key roles in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and anti-catabolism. Glutamine also increases your ability to secrete Human Growth Hormone, which helps metabolize body fat and support new muscle growth. Glutamine's anti-catabolism ability prevents the breakdown of your muscles.







Protein Powder! Boom! 

What more can you need than a great tasting, carb free protein for post workout, aiding in muscle recovery, so to ensure you do not waist a insane workout?  You should always try to take your protein within 20minutes of completing your workout as to absorb the protein best! Minimum amount of protein you should take in to build muscle is 1g per 1 pound of body weight.  

QNT Sport Metapure Zerocarb

I am not saying everyone should run to the nearest supplement store and take everything.  I am really referring to athletes, bodybuilders, or sculpters, whatever you may  call them. I am talking about pushing your body and ensuring you get your results!!! 

Hope you found this useful!
