Supps for recovery?

[smokinal]

I'm on a bulk right now which is going well but I feel like I'm not fully recovered when I hit each bodypart again. I hit everything once a week and I'm still sore sometimes when that part comes back around. Given, I am 47 and beating myself up pretty hard in the gym. Any recommendations for a supp to aid in recovery?
Current supps:
creatine 5g per day
beta alanine 4g per day (2am, 2pm)
taurine 3g per day
whey
casein
fish oil
multi
10-12 uni liver per day

Diet is good at mostly chicken, oats, peanut butter, pasta and supps

It's mostly just aminos that help in recovery, yes? I figure I'm getting enough protein that I should be good; I just don't know why I'm sore for so long. Age maybe....
Thanks

In terms of supps, I'd look at LCLT and HMB.

You might also want to consider foam rolling/stretching post workout. I find that they help with soreness.

[FigureGirl88]

what are your macro ratios if you don't mind me asking? you most likely are not getting enough complex carbs to rebuild your muscles and your energy. Also, Look at glutamine 5g pre and 5 grams post workout (just get unflavored and mix it into anyone of your protein shakes or pre workouts)

[Hooverville]

How many rest days do you take? Deloading is important. Also I agree with Partyrocking that HMB and LcLT can have a small effect. Some would also recommend HICA.

I would not recommend Glutamine.

LCLT is a very good one. As far as HMB goes, ClearMuscle is an excellent source for that. It allows a user to train with more volume and frequency. Diet and sufficient rest is the most important things as far as recovery goes though.

Agreed. Really like this product and I've been able to train 5 days a week without any setbacks. Really like the profile and I don't feel much soreness when I'm on this stuff. Another product with an excellent profile is Blue Star Post Factor

If you want to cover a whole lot of recovery aids (and ergogenic aids) in one then I'd strongly suggest checking out Ergonine which contains several of your top recommendations in this thread so far such as LCLT and HICA

It would cover creatine for you, so you wouldn't need to purchase that solo anymore if you tried this out. It would also give you the creatine/TMG (betaine anhydrous) synergy to enhance overall creatine effects. As a potent methyl donor, supplementing with TMG increases natural production of creatine, on top of the amount you are supplementing with directly.

Pretty well every ingredient of the product should assist recovery, from a number of angles as well.



Right now it is on BOGO 50% as well, and marked down!

Definitely can't go wrong with Ergonine. On top of that getting in you daily macros and good water intake with help with recovery.

As long as your training is set up for optimal adaptions and recovery, nutrition goals are consistently being met (cals and macros) & you're getting adequate sleep, stretching + foam rolling then LCLT, L-anyl-l-glutamine, HICA and CM/L-Cit have been shown to potentially aid in recovery:
Take a look at BodyForge Ultra as it contains 3 of the 4 ingredients listed above

Other ergogenic filled products that can help aid in recovery:
Carbon Recover
iForce Finish Line
Olympus Labs Tr1umph
PES Ergonine
True Grit Post

Lclt, hmb, hica

I personally really like LCLT for recovery. As others have said, HMB and HICA can also help. Also keep in mind that adequate amounts of sleep are frequently underutilized by individuals but shouldn't be.

[Outside backer]

welcome to old age it sucks. I've yet to find the magical formula, but I will say increasing my water intake has helped. tons of stretching and Ergogenix ErgoBcaa, and recently I've been trying Blue stars Post factor. But mostly we are a product of a young mind and old body and recovery just isn't as swift anymore. Sometimes we just need to dial it back ever so often.

I feel your pain

[Misctake7]

Lclt, hmb, hica

^This.

Also, are you eating in a caloric deficit, maintenance, or surplus? Diet and calories play the biggest role in recovery. Cutting is when you can expect soreness because your body isn't taking in enough calories to heal at a fast rate. Maintenance or a surplus you shouldn't be getting much soreness beyond 24-36 hours of training whichever bodypart you trained.

Sleep will also play a role. How much sleep do you get per night?

[andrewwww]

Nutrabolics Anabolic State (added glutamine and HICA for recovery) with the addition of LCLT is a great combo for increased recovery.

Think ergo9 from PES is good all in one supplement. I like 6 grams of hmb-ca per day. I tend to buy it in bulk. I also like Xtend perform flavoring is on point and hides the nasty taste of bulk hmb.

exchange fish oil with Krill oil, another option for post workout is colostrum for regeneration's, but also to build up the immune system after a hard workout.
