If you are into your weight training, and wish to get to that next level, what supplements should you be working with? How do you take them for best effect?

In this article, I want to introduce you to the most popular supplements. My biggest piece of advice is to ensure you use the supplements correctly for your body and routine. Vince Delmontes 'No nonsense muscle building' program teaches you the key supplements, the times to take them, the volumes and the combinations for MAX results. Its hugely valuable professional advice. Get a copy now, after you read my intro to supplements below. 

Creatine:

You would of heard of this buzz-supplement, and with good reason. Creatine is cheap and has a good name amongst performance athletes and weight trainers who get serious. Creatine is a product that our bodies naturally produce, and is derived from glycine & arginine and found in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. It is also found in high levels in meats and fish. You'd have to eat a lot of meat or fish to boost the amount in your body, so most people supplement, in the form of powder.

Creatine monohydrate is the most common form and is the most readily taken form. It is more stable than liquid forms, and absorbs into the bloodstream better. Most people go through a loading phase, taking creatine 2-4 times a day (5 grams) for 2 weeks and then cycle down to 1-2 doses a day thereafter.

You can expect creatine to boost your muscle fibre hypertrophy and size by around 20-30% over time. And that is a good thing!

You know which supplements to use...but how should you combine them in your routine...? Vince Delmonte shows you here...

Glutamine or L-Glutamine:

Glutamine is what I call the 'poor cousin' supplement, its relegated to the backblocks behind creatine and whey, yet its probably the most beneficial supplement you can take. Its a great recovery supplement.

Glutamine is an amino acid, the most abundant in our bodies, making up about 60% of the amino acids in muscles. It is found in nearly all of the body's tissues, with especially high concentrations in the brain, muscles, gut lining, lungs, heart, kidney, and liver.

Glutamine is perfect for those trying to either pack on muscle, or to lose fat and convert it to muscle. Its very versatile. It aids in recovery, helps with muscle oxygenation through heart strength, muscle cell growth and tissue growth, boosts immunity and overall health, shortens recovery times from muscle damage and offers lactic acid transportation in athletic training (which stops cramps). Definiatly consider glutamine in your stack.

BCAA or Branched Chain Amino Acids:

There was a time when Branched chain amino acids where the 'it' product for muscle building. While not so crazy-popular today, they are certainly every bit as essential as ever to a good supplement stack.

BCAAs comprise three essential amino acids--leucine, isoleucine and valine. They have huge benefits for strength and endurance, recovery, fatigue prevention and brain/heart health. The name comes from the look of them to scientists (forked branches on a chain) So why just three? Well, although there are about 20 amino acids that the muscles use for muscle growth, these 3 BCAAs comprise about 33% of the total amino acids in your muscles.

BCCA's usually come in pill form, and like any supplement its important to use them in the right amounts and right times.

Dont pour valuable money into incorrect supplementation, or worse, damage your kidey and liver...Vince Delmonte shows you the safe and correct way to use supplements for best results

Nitric Oxide:

Nitric oxide is a new buzz supplement, that has surged in popularity recently. It is naturally produced by the body, however it doesnt exist for long as our PH level nuetralises it fast, under natural circumstances. Nitric oxide is the our "cell-signaling" molecule, responsible for muscle blood flow or hemodilation, oxygen delivery to the cells, glucose uptake, muscle velocity and muscular size growth.

Supplementing Nitric Oxide was a revolution for muscle builders in the 90's, and I consider it an advanced supplement that is for those who are successfully using other supplements. I would suggest that you will get better and healthier results from using the above supplements before nitric oxide.

There is however, no doubt that it provides good positive and natural benefits to the aspiring body builder or muscle gainer.
