Best products for muscle recovery

[CrazyLoc]

What are teh absolute best things for muscle recovery? Especially for me being that I work out 6 times a week and
hit each muscle 3-4 times a week in addition to 45-60 minutes of cardio 6 times a week. Currently I'm taking
animal pack and AEX NO Pump pre workout.

First off. If you are hitting each group 3-4 times a week you are overtraining your muscles big time. But for muscles recovery a good whey protein is essential. I use ON whey because it has added glutamine and BCAAS per scoop for een better recovery.

Multi-Vitamin, Fish Oil, Creatine, Whey Protein, BCAAs are the 5 staple supplements you should be taking.

BUT, if you're hitting each muscle group 4-5 times a week and doing 6 days of cardio... no supplement will allow you to recover enough to grow. You are severely overtraining. (Unless your workouts are very low intensity and you do a small volume)

If you still want to do that much training then maybe you should look into the steroid section of this forum.

-Good Luck

I agree stick with the basics. Don't overtrain and it is quite remarkable the different positive things one an get from omega 3 supplementation

lots of good fats such as almonds, nuts and flaxseed oil

Nothing will help your overtraining other than maybe steriods.

You need to look into training properly before you change your diet.

Honestly man if you are going to failure on every set pretty much when you are working out you should be hitting each muscle group maximum twice a week....i hit them once....lift 3 days cardio 2 2 off........seein nice gains and fat loss.....Remember more isnt always better.....

Anabolic Pump is the best recovery supplement I've used.

this thread does not belong in supp science b/c it in no way involves advanced discussion of supps . . . this should be in general supps as stated below

It still seems people are not reading the sticky about this section. This section is NOT, repeat NOT for asking questions similar to "What creatine is best to take" or "Is product x better then product y"? This is a forum for Science based discussion. Any thread that is made should at least contain some abstracts, full journal articles, charts, graphs, studies, links, references, etc. relating to what you are discussing.

Basic questions about products should be kept in the main Supplement Forum.

True.

[Baby_Hercules]

hitting a muscle three times a week is definately overtraining. To answer your question you should definately be taking some antioxidants like vitamin e, vitamin c, and alpha lipoic acid in addition to glutamine, bcaa's, and whey.

So, I have done my own time for research and this is by far the best product. ALL NATURAL. I see a difference during my workout and afterwards. Additionally, I take it when I need to focus on a project at work or school. It offers a natural source of caffeine without having to drink coffee or tea.

If you email me, I can give you the information on the product
Truly, its the best. Rhodiola 110 is the product but I can get it at a discount!

I tend to focus a lot on pre peri and post workout nutrition.

Pre just a small meal, Carbs fat Protein

Peri 50g Dextrose 10g BCAAs or 20-30g HydroWheys

Post Whey Shake or Food Meal. Organic Red Meat, brown rice

Would ECA do anything? #NewbAtSupplements

Holy 7 year necro...

And no, ECA won't help with recovery. Food, water, and rest helps with recovery. Sleep is a major component, so we need to make sure we're getting quality sleep - the darkest room possible without too many distractions such as standby lights, music, TV, and the like. Try for natural sleep without being knocked from drugs. This should help tremendously.
