Supplements that Boost YOUR Performance and Recovery

Supplements are literally what they mean, they are to supplement your progress, and inherently you shouldn’t rely on them but use them to boost your progress. Scientific studies have shown supplements coupled with their placebo effect can increase muscle performance and recovery far more substantially then without using them. However, with anything you put into your body moderation is the key to avoid side effects from arising.

Most supplements can be purchased at your local supplement shop. Common supplements include:

·         BCAA - for recovery and intra workout.

·         Protein shake - for after you train to speed up recovery

·         Pre workout - in case you have a hard day at work 

What do the supplements I have mention above really do?

BCAA- these are amino acids which are essentially the building block of all muscle cells and tissues. When you work out you are fundamentally breaking down the muscles fibres and tearing muscle tissue. At this stage your muscles need nutrients to build and recover the worked muscles by taking BCAA’s you are insuring that your muscles are replenished to the best and getting in all the required supplements.

Protein shake- this is ultimately like having a meal replacement. The issue in our busy contemporary lifestyle is sometimes it is hard getting in the required foods to help our bodies grow and replenish. Therefore by taking a protein shake you are ultimately supplementing your body with artificial foods to meet the demands

Pre workout- on days when you’re feeling fatigued a pre workout will kick your body with a barrage of supplements to boost your energy and focus.
