Supplement advice

[Jimd89]

I've been lifting about 3 years and take BCAA's, Creatine and protein powders to help me hit my macros, is there anything else I'm missing out on?

[epfuhl]

I take a multivitamin and fish oil, other than that and what you listed not much else is necessary

[Driven2liftv2]

Really all you "need" is covered for you, assuming you have a proper diet under your belt.

If you're looking to try something else out that is tried and proven I'd suggest looking over PEScience Ergonine

It is 9 of the most proven ergogens (shown to enhance performance in humans) at their studied doses all in one scoop daily much like your creatine is taken. It would also contain your daily creatine so you could stop purchasing it should you decide to give Ergonine a try.

Only costing you about $1 a day to get a lot more working on your side than just creatine. You will actually see amplified results from the creatine in this as well because of the trimethylglycine inclusion (betaine anhydrous) which as a potent methyl donor will also increase your body's natural production of creatine (even moreso if you are deficient, as an active lifestyle can cause) on top of many, many other benefits from the formula including but not limited to fat loss, lean mass growth, and better physical performance.

You can add in Omega3 + A quality multi/greens for additional support

this and greens if you dont get enough veggies (quantity and diversity)

[mtownballer20]

I would add in a multi and fish oil for sure. Let me know if you need any recommendations.

[Hooverville]

I like Driventoliftv2 advice, as Ergonine is a fantastic product for getting just about everything under the sun for athletic performance.

Also check out Neogenix Bodyforge Ultra.similar benefits (no betaine) and a smaller price tag.

These types of products are not entirely necessary, but if you want every edge at your disposal they can be beneficial.

Supplement staples for a basic stack is a multi, fish oil, creatine, and protein powder. You don't necessarily need this stack or anything else, but make sure you have those 4 covered before branching out to other supplements. Maybe add a preworkout if you want to find something beyond the basic 4 I listed.

[Jimd89]

thanks for the advice ill look into them all (Y)

^^^Agreed. If you're hitting your macros and taking the base supps thats ideal!

[KimeraII]

You are ok in my opinion,
but you should try some multivitaminic in the morning, some Fish oil capsule, and try some preWO with Arginine, citrulline, glutammine some electrolytes...

anyone had much experience with test boosters?

anyone had much experience with test boosters?

Test booster can work for those who have lower testosterone levels and those who are older. At 27 you won't see much benefit from a test booster, so it will be basically a waste of money for you.

anyone had much experience with test boosters?

If you feel you need a test booster at 27 then I would speak to a doctor. If everything is normal, I wouldn't recommend one.

Really you have the basics covered. Well done not over thinking things and just taking whatever. I would maybe add a multi vitamin and fish oil for overall better health.

I've been lifting about 3 years and take BCAA's, Creatine and protein powders to help me hit my macros, is there anything else I'm missing out on?

Got the best stuff already going on.. I wouln't get too nuts.. Well, I mean.. I would.. lol But you don't really need anything else...

Maybe a good multi vitamin/mineral

Maybe a weight gainer if you suck at breakfast or eating post workout

Think about pre workout if you are working out later in your day or feel you could benefit from more energy during your sessions

good luck!

[wishiwasdivin]

Other than adding a multi and a fish oil you have the basics covered. The most important part of all is not to neglect your diet/training, because that's where you are go to benefit the most from. You cannot out supplement a bad diet and training.

[Jimd89]

thanks everyone for your advice, looks like ill get a multivitamin and fish oil, I'm not a fan of pre workouts to be honest. I'm gaining around 0.5pound a week and sticking to my macros, training 4-5 times a week, can't really do much more than that i suppose.
