Best Body Building Supplements

Everyone would like to look a little more sculpted, ehnace their workouts, and put on some lean muscle mass. With summer right around the corner, there is nothing like the threat of a swimsuit to give you the motivation to hit thy gym. Here is a list of some of the best muscle building supplements. Bodybuilding.com is one of the many supplement warehouses you can find on the internet today.

• To Get Stronger: Creatine

To get stronger, you need to lift heavy weights-period.
Supplementing with creatine offers you more power during your workouts to push more plates. This in turn allows you to hit your Type II muscle fibers harder and trigger faster strength gains.
Creatine works by increasing cell volume which allows your cells to hold more nutrients, give your muscles a "fuller" look, and gives you leverage strength. Older creatine (monohydrate) is cheap, but you get what you pay for: most people experience a bloated look/feeling due to subcutaneous water retention. New ph correct creatine like Creatine HCL, Cre-alkalyn, Micronized Creatine, are filtered and don't make you retain water and work much more efficiently.

• To Get A Pump: Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AAKG)

Yes, the "pump" you get from your workouts DOES contribute to muscle growth! AAKG is a vasodilator that increases blood flow in the body, allowing you to achieve a BIGGER pump and maintain it for longer.
Feels great-builds muscle!

• To Avoid Muscle Loss: L-Glutamine + Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's)

Your body naturally tears down muscle tissue (called "catabolism") as a result of your training to get to the stored amino acids locked in them.
Anti-catabolic supplements like glutamine allow you to short-circuit this muscle-wasting process and allow a shot of quickly assimilated amino acids from your BCAA's to begin the reconstuction of your new (bigger!) muscles.
(Note: BCAA's are found naturally in protein and may be abundent enough in your post-workout protein powder to do the job.)

• To Naturally Increase Hormones: Tribulus

Studies have shown that tribulus terestris increases the testosterone precurser, leuteinizing hormone, by 70%, and in turn boosts testosterone by as much as 40%.
Those are big numbers when it comes to building muscle!
Problem is, nearly all "T-Boosters" on the market that use tribulus in their ingredients DON'T have enough of a dosage to achieve these levels.
I've even seen $50 bottles of "booster" supplements that you would need to take 6 TIMES the recommended dose to get enough ingredients to have any effect.
