Basketball player supplements

[daveshit]

I'm coming back to the court after injury, don't know exactly when, but soon, I hope. I'll start weight lifting to get some lost strength back. I have few ideas what supplements to take, but I want your opinion. I think I'll take Dymatize whey and CEO. But, can anyone tell me is it recommended for younger athletes(19 years) and what can I expect from this? I'll probably be doing weihgt training 2 or 3 times a week including team practices on the court. Thank you!

first off, a multi-vitamin and fish oil are the foundations of any supplement stack. for basketball (aerobic), something like BCAA's (xtreme formulations ICE, Xtend) would be great to sip on during for a possible boost in stamina/endurance. pre-game/practice, the best "looking" product would have to been MAN Body Octane. i will admit that i've never used it, but i've used all of the ingredients separately or as a part of another formula and they flat out work. but, beta-alanine is really a no-brainer for basketball, since lactic acid is probably the biggest limiting factor when i play, and BA minimizes lactic acid build-up. also, millennium sport technologies Cordygen5/Cordygen-VO2 work great for endurance, stamina, mood, and mainly, O2 utilization. something like PLCAR/ACLAR + GPLC could be fun to play around with.

other things to consider:
bulk beta alanine (any powder will do)
bulk citrulline malate (" ")
bulk creatine monohydrate (Prolab)
AEN IntrAbolic/XF Vendetta

using any of these products (or a combination of them) to supplement your training regime should result in an increase in endurance, strength and stamina, and positively impact mood whilst decreasing lactic acid build-up. good luck!

he asked for like a protein powder, not to transform him into a robot.

LOL. he said he was already planning on taking dymatize elite whey. why would i recommend him another protein? it's cheap and it'll get the job done. nothing i recommended him is bad, and wouldn't "transform him into a robot." why don't you educate yourself a little bit before interjecting your worthless opinion. your ignorance is profound, as you clearly know nothing about supplementation.

You didn't say anything about CEO(Nutrabolics), I saw alot of people saying it is really good. Sth better than usual creatine monohydrate?

I can't find it in the cyberstore. Do you have the ingredient profile I can see..? There's going to be little to no chance that I'd recommend it over Prolab's CrM, though. Another creatine I've had great success with in the past is MAN Orotine. Cheap and effective... both get the job done!

I don't have it on english. It says that is like 3 generation of creatine...ect.. I think it's better to stick with the wll known formula. I'll see if I can buy Prolab(probably can) in europe. I'll go with that.
yes, I forgot to write that down,I'll also take elastijoint, so my injury don't come back.

You should be able to find Prolab in Europe, I'm sure. If there's anything else ya need, feel free to holler!
