Muscle Building and Supplementation
Most people when building muscle will make use of whey protein or similar, on waking and post workout. While not essential, this is an easy and quick way to meet protein requirements at these demanding times.
Other supplements such as weight gain shakes; creatine ethyl ester and glutamine are of benefit but are by no means essential if the diet is adequately planned.
There is also an enormous range of wonder supplements advertised in training magazines, guaranteeing an enviable physique in a short timeframe.
While many may choose to buy into these, there is no comparison to a good diet containing a wide variety of foods, consumed with the right frequency and in the right portions.
Consider supplements to be the fine tuning of the bulking plan rather than the foundation.
