3 Supplements That EVERYONE Needs

When it comes to muscle building supplements, there are plenty of options, but only a few supplements that actually work. In this video, I’ll be showing you the three most indisuptable bodybuilding supplements that not only are proven to work but are the safest as well. Throw in the fact that each o

what’s up guys Cavalier athlet x. com Jesse Leo aex. com so today let’s talk about a very popular topic people ask all the time about it supplementation Y and let’s face it there are a lot of supplements out there to take lots of them but it could be quite confusing and it could be a little bit frustrating if you’re wasting your money on the supplements you’re taking yeah and we often times hear about like pissing away your supplements because you literally like you’re not even your body’s not even using them and you just have expensive pee so how could we eliminate that and how can we actually get our money’s worth well I wanted to focus on what I believe are three supplements I’m not saying that these are the only three but these are three that 100% actually work yeah if you’re going to take them you’re going to see benefits from them and therefore they should be considered if you’re willing to sort of go down that route of supplementation all right so let’s start with a very obvious one Jesse you’re going to be like my in the field lab rat cuz I’ve taken all these supplements and as most people out there probably have to but let’s talk about them first of all protein powder right now I have gone on record of saying I don’t even view protein powder as a supplement anymore it is an alternative method for ingesting protein that a lot of times comes in a more costeffective way especially with thanks to inflation we have a lot more expensive chicken beef eggs milk all those things well we can get protein powder and and I believe at a more cost effective way yeah it definitely saves my grocery bill and because I ingest it every single day and it has a macronutrient profile to it it’s a food I’m able to look at it in a non-s supplementary way whereas the fish that you have once every two weeks when you go out for your brunch without mebe on a Sunday every every once a month like is that’s probably more supplementary to what you’re taking than the protein powder you take every single day but let’s talk about protein powder so it comes in many different forms right there’s two fractions of milk which is basically your casing or your way okay mostly I like to focus on the on the Whey Protein side of it because I feel like the probably the one that’s least likely to cause any type of allergies or adverse reactions for people I feel like it’s also the most popular version of the 100% right and then there’s three different types of it so it’s based on how filtered that protein is when it gets to you so there’s concentrate which has more of the milk sugars in it which could cause some lactose issues then it has isolate protein which is what majority of people take and then there’s hydrolic proteins which is even a higher Pur level much more expensive but it’s still all at the end of the day your body is going to process it the same exact way no punen intended now in terms of how often you take it so again I take it every single day you had an interesting reason why you actually started taking it right uh well for me I have as I’ve documented well on this channel um had trouble eating a lot of food I don’t know if I had B yeah I don’t know if I had a small stomach or I just mat size of your pecs yeah but uh I started taking protein under your recommendation uh taking protein drinks um twice a day once in the morning and then once after training um and it was a great way to get calories in because I wasn’t getting it from food as eating as big meals as I probably should have been so Mo most importantly you’re getting your protein needs met throughout the day oh absolutely because when it comes to that there’s all numbers that are thrown around all the time 7 gram to 1. 2 gram per pound of body weight right some even say even a little bit less than that but when it comes to actually building muscle I usually use the bottom line recommendation of at least one gram per pound of body weight and sometimes up to 1. 2 gr per pound of body weight right so you’re you’re going to need if you’re a 160 lb person you’re going to need 160 gram of protein up to 200 gram of protein or so so it’s not as easy as you think it is to get it especially in financially challenged times where where all these products I talked about before like meat and chicken and fish and all those things have kind of skyrocketed so Mee yeah meeting your protein needs is really important the other thing though you mentioned was just overall calories which is something that he struggled with for a long time any hard Gainer out there you likely have to first look at your calorie intake cuz that could be where you’re struggling protein shakes are so easy to augment in terms of calories oh hell yeah I used to throw peanut butter I mean I still do throw peanut butter and bananas in my my shakes um some honey sometimes calorically just boosting that that up and because you can drink those calories for people like Jesse who have smaller appetites it’s much easier to get them in now interestingly when it comes down to how much protein it’s also a question of of how much should I have per serving and Lucine happens to be the most anabolic constituent of the amino acids that contribute to muscle growth there are some research studies out there that show that a minimum of 29 gram of protein is necessary to reach that threshold the anabolic threshold whereas that Lucine can stimulate muscle protein synthesis through this mtor pathway you can kind of play around with that because remember if you’re mixing it with milk you can get some protein through that too so the prot doesn’t protein doesn’t all have to come from the powder but in our protein I actually put just 30 gr of protein in it straight out so even if you decide to mix it with water you don’t have to worry about that so just another thing to consider but as far as how often throughout the day again you started you had two protein shakes I I I have one a day and as far as timing of it I don’t see the necessity anymore of having to like rush home after a workout to go have my protein shake that’s anabolic window the anabolic window has closed pretty pretty dramatically but as long as you’re taking a protein shake often enough to meet your protein requirements for to day that I think is what’s most important consistency consistency all right next supplement up would be creatine creatine and probably the most research supplement out there especially from a safety and efficacy standpoint because a lot of young kids were taking creatine when it first came out because it was one of those first supplements that actually did something that actually provided what it said it would right I remember the very first time I took it I was reading an old magazine called muscle media 2000 if you guys remember that chime in down below but they had a supplement called phosphagen and it turns out now that I know better like fosen was just creatine monohydrate that supposedly had a proprietary way of harvesting the creatine to make it more absorbable and pure and you know I mean that’s now kind of going by the wayside as well too sound scientific it sounded scientific but it was just Crea to monohydrate that I paid I think 65 bucks for for like 500 grams or less it’s come down a lot in price but we were taking it as teenagers and I think a lot of people were because again of the efficacy of it were were wanting to study how safe it really was it’s probably one of the safest things you can put in your body now actually being better for cognitive Health long term for everybody even those that are not in in the lifting Community really so there’s
