Currently I take creatine and protein powder.
I want to start taking fish oil and a multivitamin are there any suggestions?

I am baised in Japan so I get my supplements from iherb.com and bodybuilding.com

I have a discount code for iherb.com pm if your interested.

So what does everyone else take and where do you buy them from?

[TheCaptainPower]

Believe it or not, I take NOTHING. I experimented with designer protein and creatine, but they always made me put on fat.

I stick with eggs, tuna, and steak.

If you are already overweight I don't recommmend taking any protein supplements...

[MikeinMKE]

Greek Yogurt from Trader Joe's is relatively cheap and allows you to use only 1/2 the normal protein shake serving if you blend it up with skim milk.

I agree with CaptainPower that traditional protein powders make me put on weight and I lose my sharp facial features with them. I just laid off the weightlifting for 3 months to let my shoulder heal up so now I'm Adam Levine skinny/ripped/sharp facial features. I am hoping as I ease back into my weightlifting that this "lighter" Greek Yogurt/protein shake will allow me to stay ripped while strategically adding muscle bulk to ONLY the areas I want (arms, back, legs, chest, shoulders) and leave my face/abs/neck alone.

I eat a balanced diet with reasonable portions. Portions are dependent on the amount of physical activity I do. If I work out more--I eat more. Work out less--eat less. I try to avoid processed foods.

If I have any "supplement" it's usually a protein shake as a meal replacement--not an adjunct. And, every few days I take a multi-vitamin. On days when I feel sluggish, I'll hit some Jack3d purchased from Amazon.com. That's it.

[shiznit]

Just started using supplements recently. I got:
Whey protein powder
Gainer Pro
Creatine
ZMA (Basically a mixture of magnesium, zinc and vitamin B6)
Ripped Freak fat burner.

There's a lot on the internet, I don't know about any that ships worldwide, but a quick google search should probably do it.

I combine that with multi-vitamins and omega-3, as well as nutritious meals(egg-whites, chicken etc), along with 30 minutes of cardio every day and strength 4 days a week.

I used Jack3d a while ago, and it was off the hook, made me pump like never before. However, it was made illegal in some parts of Europe recently, apparently(or so I'm told) some people died cause it made their heart go out of rythm, so use with caution, dude!

I heard that Jacked isn't "real" anymore - that they had to change the formula and that's why it's now so cheap and not as popular as it used to be. I'm working through an older couple of containers of it and am considering an alternative on next purchase.

[Dulceácido]

They did make a "new" formula of Jack3d... I forget what it's called (Jack3d Micro or something like that, I think), but it's not the same as the old shit. I may be buying old stock or something, but I still get the same old formula. Unfortunately, the only flavor they have now that I can find is Fruit Punch, not bad, but I liked Green Apple and Grape. Anyway, you can still buy it on Amazon.com. Not sure how long it's going to last.
It did get some bad press a while back and several stores stopped carrying it. The last 2 cans I got were bought at GNC and mailed to me from home. Original formula, so it's still out there.

Every time a new product comes out that kicks ass, some fat piece of shit that has never worked out in their life decides to use it and go run a 10K--inevitably, they die. Then all the rest of us that actually work out and could benefit from the occasional boost get punished because, since lawmakers can't ban idiotic fat fucks, they ban the supplement.
There were also rumors that it made you fail urinalysis, testing positive for amphetamines. Of course, since it was THE best selling supplement of all times, these rumors were invented by USPlabs competitors because they were getting blown out of the water. After that, the rumor was perpetuated by people who actually got busted for using amphetamines... "Oh, it must be the Jack3d." Yeah, whatthefuckever. I have literally been drinking Jack3d from a Nalgene bottle to make myself urinate for a piss test and never popped for anything.

I still buy it when I can and use it when I feel like it. It's a great product. I have never had a supplement pump me up more than Jack3d. I even take it in the field with me sometimes when I know I am going to go for long periods without sleep. Works like a charm.

Only thing comparable is No-Xplode and it has way too much sugar in it. Plus, after Jack3d, No-Xplode tastes like total shit to me these days.

My advice: never buy Jack3d again (so, it will still be available the next time I need some). lol!

Whey
Creatine
Glutamine
Multi
Amino Acids
Pre workout - M.E.T.H. = Best pre I've ever taken by far, its amazing

[Enigma]

I don't see how one scoop of whey protein isolate per day after a workout could cause any noticeable fat gain. Exercising 5 times per week, that's like an extra 1 gram of fat and 500 calories spread over 7 days. The fact of the matter is that the proteins and amino acids of meats and eggs are simply not as quickly available for the body to use as whey protein. Also much less convenient to carry a steak or tuna sandwich around in your gym bag.

Right now I take:
Multivitamin (Orange Triad, at the moment)
Ultra Omega 3 (NOW Foods)
Vitamin D3 (NOW Foods)
Gelatanized Maca (Navitas Naturals)
Whey Protein Isolate (NOW Foods)
pH Balanced Creatine Capsules (Kre-alkalyn EFX)

I get all of it from Amazon.

Good question. Other than the Vitamin D3, I have been using all of the items I listed for months and I consider them my staples. I'm actually using a couple other things that I didn't mention because I'm either not sold yet or am only using temporarily.

I've tried plenty of stuff but much of it does not make it into my regular rotation. I either finish the first bottle and never reorder or it sits half-empty in the back of my cabinet. I originally got some raw Maca a year or two ago and didn't notice much. Forgot about it. Read later that Maca is easier to break down and utilize when consumed in gelatinized form rather than raw.

So I tried that out. After finishing the first bottle, I bought two more. But I can't quite put my finger on what it does for me. I like Vit. D3 because I saw an instant increase in strength in the gym. Maca is more a general feeling of wellness. It supposedly helps balance hormones so maybe that's what I feel. Also supposedly helps with libido and energy. I know I like to fuck often and for long periods of time but how much of that has to do with Maca who knows. If you're exercising hard, eating healthy, and already taking vitamins I'm not sure how much higher your libido can go. It's the same thing with the Omega 3/Fish Oil. I've been taking it for a while and the effects are not as in your face as taking 1000% the DRV of Zinc or something like that but I know it helps.

I don't really see any cons. It's just a natural root that Peruvians have been consuming daily for centuries. It's not particularly expensive. If you end up trying it, let me know what it does (if anything) for you.

That's not a rumor dude! While I was in the army, some guy tested positive on his urinalysis after using jack3d. It wasn't anything dangerous or anything but it contains Geranium-extracts which is included on the olympics drug list. So if you ever have to do a drug test, just stay away from the stuff 3-4 days prior.

To my knowledge, all the military whiz quiz are tested the same. Over the last 5 years, I've had 7 tests. There was only one where I hadn't used Jack3d in the week prior. On 2 of them I was drinking Jack3d before and during the test. Several of my teammates have had the same experience. They have never tested positive. I have never had a positive result. Ever.

However, for people who get busted for using amphetamines, it is a convenient thing to blame in a weak attempt to save your ass.

Nice.

Yeah, I tried to raw stuff and couldn't tell how much it did for me.

I did feel good, and I did swoop a lot, but I feel good and swoop a lot anyways.

I will try the gelatinized next.

It's the geranium extract that tests positive, and that isn't illegal at all. However when it comes to professional sports, it is on the olympics list of illegal substances. The military where I'm at follows that list. So of course, one would pass such a test while on Jack3d, unless you do competitive sports. Though I'm not an expert but this is what I've been told.

Swallowing raw eggs is like swallowing oysters. The only difference is the after taste.

[Dulceácido]

Eating raw eggs is also a great way to get salmonellosis:

Quote:

Salmonella infection is one of the most common types of food poisoning. It occurs when you swallow food or water that contains the salmonella bacteria.

The salmonella germs may get into the food you eat (called contamination) in several ways.

You are more likely to get this type of infection if you have:

Eaten foods such as turkey, turkey dressing, chicken, or eggs that have not been cooked well or stored properly

Family members with recent salmonella infection

Been or worked in a hospital, nursing home, or other long-term health facility

A pet iguana or other lizards, turtles, or snakes (reptiles are carriers of salmonella)

A weakened immune system

Regularly used medicines that block acid production in the stomach

Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis

Used antibiotics in the recent past

Most people with this condition are younger than 20.

The risk of an egg being contaminated with Salmonella bacteria is very low, about 1 in 20,000 eggs. But there's no reason to take the risk of contracting foodborne illness. Proper handling of eggs can reduce, and even entirely elimate, the risk.

Hey Gmanifesto. First off, i'm a big fan of your blog. Out of all the players here, your's is the style of game that's most similar to mines.

As for the eggs, as long as they are pasteurised you have no problems with salmonella. Even unpasteurised eggs are ok, just make sure you wash the shells good and proper (that's where the salmonella sits, if there is any)

Just blend them in with your smoothie or protein shake bro. They are tasteless when taken like that and they actually improve the texture of the shake/smoothie. The cholesterol in the eggs increases your testosterone big time. Also, check out the nutrient profile of raw eggs, beats any multivitamin any day. Expect to notice bigger balls, more frequent horn and improved skin and hair quality with two weeks.

I've gotta thank you guys for putting me onto raw eggs. I started adding three to the big shake I was already taking daily and I already notice a huge difference. It doesn't effect the taste of my shake at all but my testosterone is through the roof. I'm ridiculously horny at all times and I literally cum twice as much...it's almost excessive at this point. Women already commented that I came a lot before, now it's shooting out like a cannon and ricocheting off shit onto my sheets and walls.

Glad to hear it bro. I have six raw eggs per day along with 6 tablespoons of olive divided between my two shakes. Add a table spoon of high strength fish oil and a healthy dose of zinc and you'll be a machine. Also great for your body modification and general health goals.

If you don't buy dodgy eggs one should be fine. The more fresh you can source them the better you will be. I noticed many Europeans don't even keep their eggs in the fridge when I lived in the Hostel and asking why its because they get better quality/more fresh eggs then the half dead mass farm shit we do in North America.

The only issue with raw eggs is that in the Egg Whites there is a anti-nutrient present (Avidin) that is not good for you in high amounts. One Egg White contains a small amount of Avidin but since the body does not know what to do with it I have no idea if it just stacks up in the body like regular toxins in your fat. The yolks though are amazing for you raw with a ton of nutrients and health fats present in them. I try to filter out the yolks throw them in a protein shake and then just cook up the egg whites in a omelette or something, I never have eaten more then two egg whites raw at a time.

Right now my only consistant supplements are:

*Tomato Paste - at least 4 tablespoons to a can daily
*Creatine - Creapure
*Vitamin D
*Whey Protein
*Zinc - L-Optra (NOW FOODS)
*Ruby Red Cocca - Tablespoon in my Protein, very high in Iron and fiber.
* Maca Powder
* Vitmain B12 Power Powder - (NOW FOODS)

I'll be cycling back in L-Argnine and L-Citrulline for gains and my dick nect month after but that is all I take more or less daily.
