PT and suplements. Do you use them to self improve or are you all natural?

I supplement EXTENSIVELY. I am also attempting to enter an IBBF event in the next year or so. I have seen INCREDIBLE results as well.

My supplements include (at any given time) a preworkout, creatine, BCAAs, whey protein, Cassien protein, multivitamins, test boosters, estrogen blockers, and so on.

I also have a diet to match. I eat a LOT of meat, eggs, whole grains, and so on.

I have added a LOT of muscle mass and strength over the passed 2 years as a result.

Now.... I am a lifter. I NEVER take supplements before cardio or morning PT. Pre-workouts are not safe to take with Army PT or hard running and can kill. Supplement smart if you do and research each one you take prior to starting.

SSG Przeszlowski, right now I'm in the cutting phase because I have an APFT next month. I'm using a homemade ECA stack and Cellucor's low-carb whey powder. During the building phase I use Jack3d. The creatine in Jack3d makes me immediately gain 10 pounds of water weight, so I don't use it near APFT time.

These supplements, plus lots of Motrin and iron pills, are the only things keeping this old body from collapsing during a run LOL.

Sergeant are you all natural? What do you have against supplements?

The other day I was talking to my daughter a SGT in the Army and discussing my upcoming APFT and she asked why I still had to take them because as she said ". Your old and stuff".

In my 40's and I still pass my APFT which is more than I can say for many 18-20 yr olds these days. My supplement is pasta and beer the night before, and aspirin for the joint pain the morning of.
