The right supps for a 50 year old?

[surrel29]

my dad recently got on a diet and lost a bunch of weight and now is looking to gain more muscle, he had a back injury so working out used to be a problem but not now. Hes 50

He was wondering what supplements should go along with his workout plan? (Not weight loss supps, muscle gain)

Any insight?

I told him this, did not listen.

if he is having a hard time working out due to pain, try more rest days, and look into orange triad and cissus

ice after training*
fish oils*
massage thearpy*
Foam roalling / tennis ball tissue work .

all these can help range of motion and decrease tissue injuries

Does he have the unwarranted need to ingest powder?
Protein comes in many forms - just because one can get it in a big tub with "growth" written on the side does not make it any better than that from whole foods.

Maybe he should figure out what he wants. "Growth" is best found in illegals/hormonal modifiers - any other has arguably little to no effect.

He should really get his diet in check before getting into supps(the basics that Powercage suggested are all he needs to start with). A proper diet @ or above maintenance is going to help him with his goal. Check out the nutrition forums.

Give him a mixture of Stevia and baking soda and tell him it's some new underground muscle builder and requires 200g protein per day in order to work properly and have him "run" that for 8 weeks and then tell him it's p l a c e b o and you were right about food and lifting.

Do some research on Vitamin D:

Serious. There are people saying they've gotten more help from this than test boosters.
