Best and most basic Post/pre-workout supplements?

[cazken123]

Hey. I’m just beginning to lift weights and I realize I got other things to focus on, but I’d like to buy use some guaranteed good supplements to get the most out of my workouts and not worry about it for a little bit. I was thinking caffeine pills fo sho, not sure about anything else. Creatine, protein, Vit D..?

Some creatine and a protein powder might be worth looking into as well

[ktyler789]

Pre: Caffeine source (pre-workout, coffee, pills) or sleep
Post: Protein powder and a good meal

All you need is food and just a basic multivitamin for general health.

Don’t waste your money on supplements. If you get low protein from your food then maybe add a protein shake here and there. You don’t need anything else.

Yup yup, I will. Cheers.

Sleep is essential. Cheers.

I want peak health, though. Peak feel-goodness. Caffeine pills help with that for sure, and vitamin D increases testosterone levels tremendously if you have a deficency. I’m sure there must be similar supplements out there. What are some good multi-vitamins?

Overall diet, fitness, hydration, and sleep. Supplements are irrelevant to what you posted. If you had a vitamin D deficiency you would know already.


Orange Triad is the best all around bang for your buck in terms of multis.

Yes, Whey protein for sure... some clowns will disagree, they have no common sense... ZERO... literally some of THE dumbest pieces of shiat on earth seem to gravitate to this forum unfortunately it is MIND BOGGLING !!

Whey Protein is nothing too special !! **BUT** it is by far the cheapest, CONVENIENT source of complete protein... after that you have other BS like Tuna, Milk, Eggs, Chicken, Fish.... so it is not a miracle, it is simply COST-EFFECTIVE on a bodybuilding diet (the protein surplus of a bodybuilding diet is intentionally wasteful by design).

Most people will agree here that the basics are caffeine or pre, creatine, protein (if you’re having trouble meeting ur intake with real food), vitamins and fish oil

Right. That’s what I thought. Thanks. Do you mean multivitamins, or some specific ones? I take vit d specifically because there’s not much sun where I live. And what are the benefits to fish oil?

Protein powder as needed to supplement your diet to meet your daily protein goal/macro. Creatine 3-5g a day, every day, any time of day, in any beverage, no loading, no cycling.

A good multi vitamin is probably a good idea for most people. Controlled Labs Orange Triad as mentioned above is also a joint support and digestion/immune support, 45 days full dose supply per bottle. Currently 20% off.

Fish Oil has a lot of potential benefits. Cognitive/brain health, cardiovascular health/triglycerides, joints are what you'll see most.


If your diet is lacking omega 3 fatty acids, aim for 2-3g combined EPA/DHA per day from the fish oil.
