I was really big into supplementation in college. I wanted to build as much muscle and gain as much strength as genetically possible. It consisted of:
Optimum nutrition's whey & casein,
Vitargo creatine,
BCAAs,
HMB (after the research done at FSU
),
Glutamine,
lecithin,
cod liver oil,
cromium picolinate,
carnitine,
ZMAs,
& a Flinstones Vitamin (lol, yes i ate them).
Now that I've graduated, I'm focused more on being healthy, a lean muscular physique, with the ability to still break PRs. I've kept on using ONs whey and casein, but I'm thinking about hopping back onto HMB, creatine, & BCAA supplements. Now, I'm questioning if its going to be a waste of money, or if these supplements are still somewhat essential to a "washed-up meathead's" (as per Joe Defranco) diet or if I can do without. Thanks for the response.
